How to place your rug

The last thing you will want is for your rug to impede on the size of your room, in which case – it’s better to buy up big! Try picking the largest rug that will fit – but won’t cover the floor completely – you still want to highlight those beautiful walls and flooring. Too small of a rug may trick the eye and create an atmosphere which is uninviting, or alternatively could distort the size of the room. Study up on the sizes above! But almost any Armadillo Rug Collection can be custom made to create the size you need!

All this talk of sizing can be quite confusing, take a look at these guides as a visual to help you when you are picking your Armadillo & Co rug.

 

Living Room 

Does your living room look like this? Placing couches and sofas in this way pulls together a living room as a cohesive and aesthetic room. NOTE for modular furniture, it’s best to place the sofa entirely on the rug with some overhang from behind.For round rugs, try and purchase a rug big enough that allows all the major furniture in a room to touch. There is certainly a harmony that occurs when round furniture coincides with a round rug, but don’t let that stop you buying a rectangular piece of furniture to highlight your room!

Dining Room

To create a real statement, you really want your rug to be larger than your dining setting, this way when people are seated or pulling chairs in and out, the rug still sits nicely and doesn’t catch on any chair legs.  

Bedroom

You can make a rug stand out and create luxury in a bedroom or use it as a simple comfort mechanism when you get out of bed each morning. Regardless there’s a shape, size and texture to match your needs
