How to Choose a Living Room Rug

Before diving into our list, let’s go over some basic tips for picking out a rug:

• Material: Popular choices include jute, synthetic fibers, and wool. These materials are great for high-traffic areas and are easy to clean.

• Size: Most people go for a 9×12 rug, but it really depends on your room’s size and furniture. Be sure to measure your space first.

• Color: Lighter rugs can make a room feel bigger, while darker rugs create a cozy vibe.

Do I Need a Rug Pad?

Absolutely! We recommend getting a rug pad for your new living room rug. There are budget-friendly options that prevent slipping, and some even offer extra cushioning and floor protection.
