Handmade rugs have durable texture
A fluffy rug can highlight your room’s decor by reinforcing the color scheme, adding a unique texture and pattern, and setting the proper tone. A rug should not work against the room’s decor and compete for attention; instead, each element in the room should work towards creating the same style and tone. Therefore, the proper rug will not detract from the decor-- it will highlight each decorative element as key pieces of the room’s grand design.
Fluffy rugs are commonly used because of how soft and plush they are, but these rugs are diverse in their color schemes, patterns, and materials as well. Plus, when they are paired with a quality rug pad, the rug is even more comfortable and durable. There is no limit to decorating with fluffy area rugs.
As you shop for the perfect fluffy area rug, it is important to consider some key areas.
Position: First, you should determine your room’s layout and where the rug will be situated in that scheme. While each room is unique in its size and furnishings, these general guidelines will give you some direction.
Living Room: When placing a fluffy area rug in the living room, you will likely set it in your main seating area. In these cases, set the rug directly in front of the seats or under their front legs to create a distinct social space and provide comfort for the entire area.
Dining Room: A dining room rug should be centered beneath the table, and it should extend between one and two feet past the sides and ends of the table. With those measurements, you will have plenty of space for the chairs to move on the rug.
Bedroom: Bedroom rugs are often placed all the way beneath the bed, under the bottom two-thirds of it, or closer to the foot of the bed. Alternatively, if you want to showcase more of the fluffy rug, you can place it along the side of the bed or in the middle of the room itself.
Office: Offices can benefit from fluffy rugs because of their comfort and pleasing aesthetic. They may be too fluffy to sit beneath the desk chair, but a rug can still accent a separate seating or meeting area for guests and clients.
Shape/Size: After determining the rug’s placement in the room, you can finalize its shape and size. Fluffy area rugs are commonly available in rectangular, round, oval, and other shapes. Sizes range anywhere from small 2x3 and 3x5 rugs to large 8x10 and 9x12 rugs. Whichever size and shape you choose, be sure it layers well with your furniture and fits the scale of the room.
Pattern: Fluffy rugs are sometimes associated with shag rugs, which are known for their lack of patterns. However, in both cases, these rugs can feature stunning designs. Persian, boho, geometric, contemporary, and other patterns are widely used in fluffy area rugs. When choosing a pattern, look at your existing decor for shapes, imagery, or motifs that can carry over into the rug for a cohesive room.
Color: Soft, fluffy rugs are available in a wide array of colors and color palettes. Neutral tones like white, grey, black, and beige are popular, but even these colors can convey a variety of tones based on their shading and color combinations. Other colors like pink, green, blue, red, purple, and other hues likewise have varying tones and color palettes. Once again, look at your existing decor and color scheme to choose a rug that fits your room’s established style and color palette.
What are fluffy rugs?
Fluffy rugs, also known as shag rugs, are rugs with long, soft, and plush fibers that create a fluffy and cozy texture. These rugs can be made of various materials, such as wool, synthetic fibers, or even animal hides, and are available in a range of colors and sizes.
Can you machine wash a fluffy rug?
Generally, you should not use a washing machine to clean a shaggy rug unless the label specifies that it is a machine-washable rug. Since shaggy rugs have loose pile fibers, it is better to avoid washing them in the machine if possible. The deep pile of the rug may get damaged and result in shedding.
Can fluffy rugs be used in humid environments?
Fluffy rugs made of natural fibers such as wool or cotton may not be suitable for humid environments as the excess moisture can cause the fibers to shrink or mildew. Synthetic fluffy rugs made of materials such as polyester or nylon may be more suitable for humid environments as they are more resistant to moisture damage. It's also recommended to use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to control the humidity level in the room and prevent mold or mildew growth.
