Polypropylene is a synthetic material known for its silk- and wool-like softness. It's highly stain-resistant, making it ideal for homes with children or pets.

Yes, wool rugs shed naturally at first. Shedding decreases over time and regular gentle vacuuming helps maintain them.

Consider your room size and layout. Larger rugs often create a more cohesive look. See common rug size examples below.

• Small: 120 x 170cm (4′ x 6′)
• Medium: 160 x 230cm (5′ x 7′)
• Large: 200 x 300cm (7′ x 10′)
• Extra Large: 240 x 330cm (9′ x 11′)
• Oversized: Over 300 x 400cm
• Runners: 80 x 300–400cm

• Cover the whole space with a small border
• Anchor all furniture on a large rug
• Use a smaller rug with just front legs on it
• Float a rug under a coffee table if proportional

How Should I Place a Rug in the Bedroom?

Classic: Place a large rug under the bed, extending 45–60cm on each side

Layered: Use smaller rugs on sides or foot of the bed for a layered look

Choose a rug large enough that chairs remain on it when pulled out — add 60cm around your table.

Jute and sisal, as they stain easily and are hard to clean

• Ideal: Jute, sisal, and flat-weave wool (like kilims)
• Avoid: Synthetic polypropylene, as it may look artificial

• Ideal: Animal hides, sheepskin, wool, silk
• Avoid: Synthetics (less luxurious), jute, sisal (rough feel)

Match your rug to your lifestyle, traffic, and design style (e.g., bold vs. neutral). Consider pets and kids when selecting materials.

• Flatweave rugs (e.g., kilims)
• Natural fiber rugs (jute, sisal, etc.)
• Heat-set polypropylene rugs
• Pile rugs (handmade or machine-made)
• Wool rugs
• Indoor/outdoor rugs
• Hide rugs and sheepskins

• Rectangular (most common)
• Round (great under round tables or in bedrooms)
• Runners (perfect for hallways)

• Allow time for creases to settle
• Vacuum regularly
• Blot spills immediately (don’t rub)
• Rotate in sunlit/high-traffic areas
• Use a rug underlay to protect your rug and floor
