It pays to give some thought to choosing rugs or mats because your floor coverings are some of the hardest working items in the house, performing very important decorative and functional roles.

You can find beautiful living room rugs, bedroom rugs, hall rugs and kids rugs to suit your home style!

The Different Ways To Use Floor Rugs At Home

Rather than thinking of your rugs and mats as something to walk on, consider them to be artwork for your floor. You can use them to introduce personality into the home, interconnect different areas and turn a room that might otherwise be cold and bare into something warm and inviting.

When planning the layout, style and textures of floor mats and rugs across your home, measure the room and the spaces first, sketch a floorplan of your room on paper (highlighting the furniture), and then use this plan to experiment with placing rugs and mats of your choice in different spots. You can find floor rugs in many sizes - small and large floor rugs will look different in the same space, particularly if you have furniture on top of them.

Make sure you read our buying guide for more tips about different ways to use rugs and mats.

Floor Rug FAQs

What is a floor rug?

A floor rug is a large piece of material placed flat onto the floors of homes, either to decorate, protect the floor or help keep the home warm. Floor rugs can be made from a range of natural and synthetic materials and usually come in round or square/rectangular shapes.

How to wash floor rugs

All rugs and floor mats should be vacuumed once a week, maybe even twice if it is in a high-traffic area. If you don't have an attachment for your vacuum that is especially good for hair, brushing your carpet after this will help dislodge any pet or human hair tangled in the fibres.

If your carpet is stained, immediately blot at the stain with a paper towel or an absorbent rag - do not rub, as this will mash the stain into the fibres of your carpet.

How to store floor rugs

Always give your carpet a good clean before storing away. Roll your carpet into a straight roll with the more delicate side on the inside, then store the carpet vertically if possible. Don't let your carpet touch the ground, and make sure it is stored in a dry, protected location where dust, dirt and bugs can't get at it.
