The Lowdown on Rugs
• Rugs look beautiful on wooden, stone and tiled floors (always use an underlay to keep them safely in place) and add welcome softness. Texture is important, in terms of both material and weave – piled wool or flat-woven cotton (which is thinner but more easily put through the washing machine), or perhaps nubby jute or sisal, tougher on the toes, but durable and with a certain rugged charm.
• Gone are the days of choosing between only rectangular or circular rugs. These days, anything goes, from oval to rainbow-shaped and even irregular outlines. Tufted rugs, too, play with different heights of pile to introduce an intriguing textural element.
• Add extra interest with some boho tassels (very on trend) or a more restrained finishing edge. This works well with a neutral rug that picks up a contrast border colour from elsewhere in the room.
• Don’t make the mistake of buying a rug that is too small for a room. In general, it is best to go as big as possible, so that all the furniture (or at least its front legs) can sit on the rug.
• For global glamour, look no further than a rug. From Indian dhurries and Greek flokatis to Middle Eastern kilims and French Aubussons, they each provide wonderful style, colour, pattern and texture.
