FASHIONABLE. FUNCTIONAL.
VERSATILE.
Area rugs serve a wide variety of purposes in
home décor. They can be used to tie the look
of a room together much as a scarf pulls an
outfit together.
Area rugs help define separate spaces within
a larger room or add a touch of warmth and color
to a hardwood or tile floor. They can also serve
as a link between rooms. And these are just
some of the possibilities.
SIZING TIPS:
Room size rugs should
leave a border of 18" to 24" on all sides.
Dining room rugs should
measure at least 4' longer and wider than
the dining room table, so chairs will not
fall off the rug when pushed back from the
table.
Hallway rugs should
be approximately 2" to 4" narrower and 18"
to 24" shorter than the hallway.
Other area rugs will
vary in size according to need.
WEAR GUIDELINES
Consider traffic
patterns, exposure to spills, and other wear
factors when choosing area rugs.
