Living Room Rugs
Living room rugs: comfort and style to give a twist to your décor
Living room rugs are an essential decorative element to create a warm, comfortable and functional atmosphere in your home.
A rug can completely transform a room. As well as being a resource to highlight the location of furniture, such as the sofa or the dining table, it also serves to delimit different areas of the space, providing that cosy touch that we are looking for.
To choose the right rug, we must not only look at its aesthetics, it is essential to consider its practical function. Whether your style is classic, modern or minimalist, there is a living room rug for every need.
What types of rugs are there? Find the right one for your style
When it comes to choosing a rug for your living room, the options are as wide as your tastes. Depending on your preferences and the style of your living room, you can find a rug that perfectly suits your needs.
Colours: at Blankets Of The World you will find from a beige rug or a white rug that will bring brightness and spaciousness to smaller spaces, to a bold black living room rug or a maroon rug that brings a touch of modernity and character. Colours should be combined with furniture and textiles such as sofa cushions and sofa plaid, creating a balanced atmosphere.
Patterns: Plain rugs are ideal for living rooms where the furniture and walls are more prominent. On the other hand, if you want a striking visual touch, prints can be a great option. Among our rugs you can find from simple patterns to more complex patterns.
Materials: You can find living room rugs in a variety of materials, from natural materials such as cotton or wool, to synthetic materials. If you are concerned about sustainability, our rugs are made from environmentally friendly materials, making them an eco-friendly option without compromising on design.
Styles: Decorative styles range from boho, with long pile or fringed rugs, to minimalism, where a short pile living room rug may be the best choice. Whatever your style, you will always find a rug that fits in with your environment.
How should the rug be placed in the living room?
The placement of a rug in the living room along with the layout of the furniture in the living room is key to achieving a balanced and functional environment. The placement of the rug can vary depending on what you want to highlight or add to the space.
Under the main furniture: If you want the rug to be the centre of attention, place it under the sofa, dining table or armchairs. This creates a well-defined area, especially useful in open spaces or lofts. The rug can frame the living area, making it visually appear more cohesive and welcoming.
To demarcate areas: If you have a living room with different zones, such as a living area and a dining area, using a rug in each area can help to visually separate the spaces. A rug under the dining table can define the dining area, while a rug under the sofa will make the living area stand out.
For warmth: If your living room feels cold, a rug can be the solution. Rugs are not only decorative, they also provide physical and visual warmth. Choose warm colours such as browns or oranges if your living room needs a touch of comfort.
Shapes and proportions: If you have a square living room, a round or square rug can complement the space. For rectangular living rooms, opt for rugs with elongated shapes to follow the proportion of the room.
How big should a living room rug be?
The size of the rug will depend on the size of the living room, the furniture and its arrangement.
One of the most important factors when buying a rug is its size. Choosing a rug that is too small or too large can clash with the layout of your living room.
For smaller living rooms, it is ideal to place a rug that covers at least the front of the sofa or main furniture area. Ideally, the rug should overhang the sofa by 20-30cm on each side. A rug that extends beyond the furniture can make the space look more cohesive.
For large loft-style living rooms, it would be ideal to be able to place all the furniture from each zone on the rug, so that the rug defines the space.
Our 140x200cm rugs are ideal for delimiting the sofa and coffee table area.
Materials and textures for living room rugs: The importance of quality and sustainability
Rugs should not only be aesthetically appealing, but also functional and sustainable.
There is a wide variety of carpet materials such as cotton, wool, synthetic materials, jute and others.
Our carpets are made of sustainable materials. We choose materials that guarantee durability and resistance. We are committed to sustainability, but without sacrificing the quality of our products.
Texture is also key to creating a cosy atmosphere. A short pile living room rug is perfect if you're looking for a touch of softness without the hassle of maintenance, or a more textured rug can add that touch of exclusivity to your living room.
Which type of carpet is easiest to clean?
Short pile carpets, such as machine washable living room carpets, are easy to clean and keep in perfect condition.
Maintenance is an important aspect to consider when choosing a rug.
The fact that carpets are washable will allow you to extend their lifespan. In addition, vacuuming the carpet 2-3 days a week will keep it free of dust and stains, which makes them ideal for homes with children or pets.
