Choose a Trendy Rug Material
Ever heard of the saying “foresight is the gateway to maximize wealth”? Well, this applies to choosing the right area rug for your space too. It is important to know the material that’s ideal for your space and environment. For instance, if you are looking for a sustainable and durable area rug for a high traffic area such as a living room, entryway, and hallway, a wool rug or natural fiber rug is the perfect match for you as they are durable and can resist stain perfectly. On the other hand, jute, cotton rugs, or polyester will work well in a low-traffic environment. They are beautiful, soft, and attractive. However, they are not as durable as wool rugs and natural fiber rugs.

Rugs in Unlikely Places
The idea of an area rug in your kitchen might seem unnecessary at first thought, but it can be a wonderful way to add color and a bit of pattern to a bland kitchen area. Though you'll want to be careful of stains, an anti-fatigue rug helps to provide cushion for your feet during those long Sunday meal prep hours. You can try a mid-size runner or a distressed vintage piece to ease into the look.

Lay Down Smart Stripes
Striped floor covering, from broad to tick, and pencil stripes make a design statement in any room. Besides its dirt-defying nature that makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas, a smart stripe will visually elongate and widen a room. More homeowners are now exploring stripes with different breadths and scales throughout their houses. Wall-to-wall broad stripes work well for living room rugs. You can layer it or add objects on top to soften the look, while still maintaining a bright and colorful feel to your space.
Installing Your Area Rug
Installing an area rug the wrong way could throw your room off balance, or worse, produce the opposite of what you had earlier imagined.
When installing an area rug for your living room, choose a rug that’s big enough to accommodate all your furniture. If your couch touches the wall on the back, place your rug under it making sure the edges are equal on both sides. This creates an amazing area and helps to avoid scratches that can damage your floor tiles.
If you are installing an area rug under your dining table, make sure to center the rug under the table. The chairs should be inside the rug area making sure they are easy to pull and push when you are using them.
As for bedrooms, place your rug so that some parts of the rug stick out of the bed, or try placing two smaller rugs on both sides of the bed.
There you go! This year, take your home décor game to a whole new level with these latest trends. Start by shopping our new range of geometric area rugs.
