How to Choose a Rug That Suits Your UK Home

The easiest way to choose a rug is to let your home guide the decision rather than chasing a trend. In this guide we explain how to find a rug that suits your UK home by responding to its existing character, light and proportions. We start with colour, showing how to draw tones from your walls and upholstery and why viewing samples in both daylight and lamplight matters. We look at choosing a style that fits the architecture, whether your home is a period property or a modern build, and explain how texture affects both the look and the daily comfort of a rug. You will also learn why matching the rug to your lifestyle is essential, so it copes with how the room is truly used. Finally we show how to see the rug as part of the whole scheme, bringing cushions, curtains and furniture together for a room that feels cohesive, welcoming and genuinely yours....
