2 Rugs are a popular complementary flooring solution for defining spaces in open plan living areas and seasonally changing the look of any space. Whether you have carpet, timber, bamboo, laminate, luxury vinyl or tiles, adding a rug to your space will also add more texture, to provide a welcoming and inviting environment. In addition to being a quick decorating solution to express your personal style, create a statement piece or simply tie your room together, rugs also play a role in the acoustics of a room, helping to reduce sound levels. With an array of colours, designs and textures, at Choices Flooring, we ll help you find the rug you ve been searching for. scale Scale is a key factor when looking at different rug sizes, as a small rug placed in front of a large couch will look lost. Likewise, a large rug can overpower a small space, making it appear even smaller than what it actually is. As such, we recommend you start your decorating project by making your rug the focal point of your space. map the area To help determine the correct size, lay a sheet or blanket in your space, where you envisage your rug to sit. This will allow you to fold the sheet to match the different sized rugs you are considering and will help you determine which size best suits your space. Herman & Viscose Colour Featured: Rainforest

3 dining When selecting a rug for your dining area, you need to ensure the rug is large enough to fit under chairs that have been pulled back from the table, as well as allowing a little more space to help define the area. Grampian Colour Featured: Autumn Leaves

4 living There are three different ways rugs can work in your living area, depending on the look and feel you want to create: 1. No furniture legs on your rug If you are introducing a rug with a strong pattern or colour, this style will allow your rug to be the statement piece within your space. 2. Front furniture legs on your rug This works well for those wanting to tie their room together, to create a casual and inviting environment. 3. All furniture legs on your rug This style is ideal for those wanting to achieve a formal living area. Casbah Souk & Viscose Blend 160cm x 220cm Colour Featured: Heather

5 bedroom Depending on what you want to achieve, there are two main ways rugs can work in your bedroom: 1. Under your bed To treat your feet each morning and night, allow 2 /3 of the rug to be under your bed, ensuring the width extends beyond the sides. 2. At the end of your bed To create an extra layer within your room, add a rug at the end of your bed, ensuring it extends beyond the sides. Oscar Colour Featured: Lime Green

6 colour & pattern Interior decorating has moved well beyond wall art, so start to think of your rug as a canvas on your floor. As a general rule, bold, bright or heavily patterned designs make perfect statement pieces and will leave a lasting impression. These are ideal for the bedroom, dining or lounge areas in your home. If your style is more subtle, you can tie your room together by complementing your rug with décor items that match your rug s feature colour, or are one to two shades either side of this. key considerations As you start to define your favourite rugs, we recommend you re-visit these three key considerations, to assist you in making your final decision: Will children or pets be in the space my rug will feature in? How busy is the space my rug will feature in? What do I want my rug to achieve? (E.g. statement piece, complete my space, define my space etc.) Hive Colour Featured: Peacock

7 rug care Once you find the rug you ve been searching for, these tips will help ensure it lasts for many years to come Rotation To encourage even wear, we recommend you rotate your rug once a year. Vacuuming To keep your rug clean, regularly vacuum your rug using a lowpowered vacuum cleaner. If fibre ends appear on the surface, don t pull them, simply use scissors to trim the fibres evenly in-line with your rug surface. Attend to stains immediately When attending to stains it is important you do not rub the stained area, as this will only penetrate the stain deeper into the fibres. Instead use a blotting motion and follow the cleaning instructions provided by your rug manufacturer. If you are unable to remove the stain, contact a professional rug cleaning specialist. Professional cleaning To maintain your rug s stunning looks, we recommend you get it cleaned by a professional rug cleaning specialist every 3 5 years. Moscow & Art Silk Colour Featured: Ash
