When you buy floor rugs you are affording yourself one of the easiest ways to revitalize, update, improve and beautify any room in your home. Buy floor rugs to turn a drab room into one full of color. Or you can use floor rugs to create a focal point or define an area of interest. Use floor rugs to add warmth to otherwise cold tiles, stone or concrete floors. Buy floor rugs to protect hardwood floors or wall-to-wall carpeting. And when you buy the right floor rugs you can tie together all of a room’s décor elements.

You should buy floor rugs because they are extremely versatile and can serve numerous purposes in your home. Whether you are decorating your living room, family room, bedroom, kitchen, hallway or patio, there’s a
floor rug that is right for you. Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, which is normally best kept rather neutral, you can use
floor rugs to bring colorful patterns and designs into your room without overwhelming it. Plus, unlike carpeting, you can use
floor rugs to change with the seasons – or your mood – and floor rugs are yours to keep should you move.
If you are lucky enough to have wooden floors in your home, floor rugs are a perfect compliment. With a little care your wooden floors will last forever. They don’t collect allergens the way carpet does, are easy to clean and provide a perfect background for a beautiful
floor area rug. But even if you have wall-to-wall carpeting you can still make use of
floor rugs. Simply place them in high-traffic areas to protect the carpet or buy
floor rugs to tie a seating area together. You can even put floor rugs on the walls to create an interesting display!
The Importance of Using a Quality Rug Pad
Experts in the home décor industry all agree that every floor rug you buy requires a good-quality rug pad underneath it. Not only does this promote safety in your home by preventing the rug from slipping, it also increases the life of your area rug and makes it much easier to regularly vacuum. Never use tape or adhesive to anchor an area rug you buy to your floor or carpeting. This can easily damage both the floor and your
floor rug.
The Miracle Hold Plus rug pads we sell at Rugs Direct come with a 10-year warranty. They are guaranteed not to mar, stain or discolor the floor and to hold the
floor rug you buy securely in place. They come in a variety of sizes and are reversible for use on either bare floors or carpeting. Also, most area-rug manufacturers require that their product be placed on top of a quality rug pad in order to validate their warranty against defects in workmanship.
Remember, every floor rug you buy needs a pad. Click here to see the high-quality, 10-year Miracle Hold Plus rug pads available from Rugs Direct.
Useful Information About Floor Rugs
The decision to buy floor rugs has found favor among homeowners mainly because many newer houses feature floor surfaces such as tile and hardwood. To maintain seasonal styles, you can buy
floor rugs to modify or change a room’s look throughout the year. The decision to buy
floor area rugs allows you to create a room within a room.
Finding high-quality, floor area rugs is convenient, economical and simple at Rugs Direct. There are some things you should consider before making the decision to buy
floor rugs:
- Use of the area rug - Determine how you will use the floor rugs you buy. Are you using the
floor rug to protect a hardwood floor? Or perhaps to define spaces within a room? Is you goal to warm up – both literally and figuratively – tile flooring?
- Your existing home décor - Integrating the floor rug you buy with your existing décor is essential. If the area rug will be your focal point, consider one with a central medallion. If the fireplace is the focal point, buy an area rug that has a repetitive pattern, minus the medallion. Choose a
floor area rug with a subtler pattern in the rug if your upholstery or wallpaper contains ornate patterns. Buy
a floor rug with colors that coordinate with your décor. It's not necessary that all of the colors match, but at least one color should be in the same color family. Buy a light,
floor rug to make the room seem more spacious;
a dark one to create warmth.
- Mixing floor rugs - Use different patterns within the same room as long as the colors coordinate. Go with floor rugs of varying sizes to create interest and contrast.
- For use under a coffee table, buy a 4' x 6' or 6' x 9' area rug. Table legs should stand within the rug. To accent furnishings, leave floor space between the rug and furniture.
- For use under a dining room table, buy a floor rug that's at least eight feet wide. The chair legs shouldn't fall off the rug when people are seated at the table or when the chair is pulled out. To be sure of the size, measure the length and width of the table, and add at least four feet to each.
- For use in an entire room, an 8' x 11' rug typically works well. Try to leave an equal amount of flooring exposed on all sides as border.
Remember, there is no room in your home that will not benefit from the addition of a beautiful, new floor rug.
