Area Rugs; Hints For Buying

By Carolyn Price


There are many things to consider before purchasing area rugs. They come in many colours, shapes and styles, and it is definitely worth putting some thought into what will be the best addition to the space before making a purchase. Prices vary as well, so it is always best to take this into consideration as well.

Budget is the first thing to consider. While there are some very inexpensive rigs available, they are made of inferior materials and will not stand up well over time. They can also be difficult to clean if something is spilled on it. Those made of wool or silk are often the highest quality and often end up lasting a very long time, and looking better over time. Spending more money up front can save some in the long run as the rug will not need to replaced for many years. Budget stores are definitely not going to have quality rugs so do some research.

Take accurate measurements of the room where the piece will go. It should not fit into the room like wall to wall carpeting. Generally, the rule of thumb is that there should be two feet of space between the edges of the carpet and the walls. This is not a hard and fast rule, however, especially if using more than one or those of different sizes and shapes.

Think about future plans before buying. If furniture and paint colours will be changed frequently, go with something more neutral that will work with a variety of different decors. Trends change and unless the plan is to change the rug with every paint job or new couch, stick with a rug that won't require regular replacement.

Check out several stores and have a look online before buying. This can help to show everything that is available and help ensure a smooth purchase. Speak with friends and family as they be able to provide a referral. Speak with sales personnel to ensure they know their product and can provide you with all of the information needed to maintain the purchase.

There are an endless number of shapes available. Look at the space and decide what will fit best, whether it be rectangular, square, round or any of the other shapes that are offered. Often, buying one that is a non traditional shape can help to add interest and beauty to a space.

Rugs for beneath a dining room table should extend beyond the perimeter of it by a minimum of eighteen inches for the best look. When placing one under the bed, extending it by a couple of feet beyond the dimensions of the bed helps keep things well proportioned and will make sure that it can be seen.

Taking time to consider all of the options before making a purchase is important and can help to ensure that it is the perfect rug for the space. Do some research and take careful measurements to ensure the best possible outcome.
