Different types of rugs
A good place to start is by considering whether you want a plain or patterned rug as this will narrow down your choice of material and finish. If you're really stuck on what style you want, we've picked out a few rugs that best fit with popular decor themes.
Which rug is the best for you?
Let's take a look at different styles of rugs.
Plain rugs: Plain doesn't mean boring. A block colour makes a texture stand out and opens up a few more material options, like shaggy and sheepskin.
Patterned rugs: Whether you go for a traditional rug pattern or a more contemporary rug design, they'll create a focal point and are a quick and easy way to transform the look of a room.
Modern & glam: Love the luxe look? Champagne, blush, and mink are key colours here, with equally opulent finishes like crushed velvet and faux fur.
Classic & country: We are channelling cosy country cottages when we picked out these lovelies. Neutrals or warming reds come to mind and check prints of course feature.
Scandi & simple: Grey, mustard, more grey. Block colours and a few playful prints feature in our collection of rugs inspired by Scandinavian style.

Rug size guide
What size rug do I need?
Considering a new rug? A 60x100 cm might be just right for smaller spots or entryways. Perhaps a 80x150 cm could cosy up a favourite nook. A 100x100 cm square rug often works well in tidy, compact areas. For a touch of comfort in living spaces, think about a 120x170 cm, or go larger with a 160x230 cm or 200x290 cm to beautifully complement bigger rooms.

Rugs by room
Looking for a rug for a particular room? We'll help you find the right size, material and construction to suit the space.
The best type of rug for the living room
Your living room or lounge is likely to be one of the busiest rooms in your house. To avoid wear, choose a durable material, like polyester or wool.
How to position your living room rug
If you just want something that is a bit decorative and more of a comfort for your feet, opt for a smaller rug that sits centrally in your room.
If you've got a smaller room where furniture is up against the walls, opt for a rug that sits underneath the front two legs of your sofas.
If you have a large room with a 'floating' seating area, pick a rug that is big enough to sit underneath all of the key furniture.
The best type of rug for the bedroom
You're likely to be walking around with bare feet, so the texture is important. Soft rugs with a longer pile and shaggy effects are ideal for the bedroom.
How to position your bedroom rug
If your bed is up against a wall, have a small runner on either side of it, for added comfort when you get up in the morning.
Another option you could try is to place a smaller rug at the end of your bed. This is really handy if it's a well used walkway in the room to prevent carpet wear.
If you have a sizeable bedroom, try picking a rug that sits underneath the front of your bedside tables, and spans your entire bed.
The best type of rug for the dining room
For the dining room, pick a rug that's wider than your table, with a bold pattern or decoration around the border, to really make the space pop.
How to position your dining room rug
If you want to spruce up your dining area but don't have much space, try a smaller rug that sits beneath the dining table and the chairs when they're tucked in.
If you have a bit more space to make a statement, choose a rug that will sit beneath your table and chairs, even when they're pulled out.
Go big and bold with a rug that fills most of the dining space or room. These are better suiting to larger dining areas that have 6 or more seats.
Rugs for other areas
Hallway rugs
Hallways tend to be high traffic areas where shoes may be worn, so pick a runner or rug with a shorter pile for a more durable and easy-clean option.
Outdoor rugs
Give your garden or deck a quick luxurious makeover with a stylish rug. It's an easy way to spruce up your space, protect the floor from spills, and provide comfort to your bare foot.
Kids' room rugs
Rugs in kids' rooms are an inexpensive way to protect your flooring from food, toys, stray felt tip pens... Opt for colours or characters that match their decor.
Texture & materials
Wool rugs
Add flair to your home with our stylish, cosy wool rugs. Choose from polished prints and patterns or bold colours to liven up any space. Our range of short cut pile wool rugs suits every room.
Synthetic rugs
Synthetic rugs, made from materials like polyester and nylon, are tough and stylish. Perfect for busy areas, they come in lots of styles and textures. Plus, they're easy to clean and great for allergy sufferers.
Natural rugs
Natural material rugs, like cotton and wool, are durable and cosy, with wool providing excellent insulation and texture. Blending with synthetic fibers like polyester makes them easier to maintain.
Jute rugs
Get closer to nature with a jute rug. Made from dried plant fibers, these eco-friendly rugs bring a natural touch to your space while providing durability and comfort. A stylish and sustainable choice for any room.
Short pile/flatweave rugs
Short pile or flatweave rugs have tightly woven or closely cut fibers, making them less fluffy but very durable and easy to vacuum. Ideal for high-traffic areas, they showcase intricate designs and are perfect for busy households.
Long pile/shaggy rugs
Long pile or shaggy rugs, with their plush, soft fibres, provide ultimate comfort but can be tricky for pets and harder to vacuum. Great for cosy reading nooks or glam rooms, they add warmth and style to any space.
Jargon buster
Let's lay down the terminology...
Pile: If you were to stroke a rug, you'd be stroking the pile. The longer the pile, the shaggier the rug.
Hand-made: Part of the rug is crafted by hand. It doesn't necessarily refer to the whole rug - machines may be used for some parts of the process.
Hand-tufted: A popular and affordable method of making a rug where yarn is stitched onto a backing and fixed in place by a layer of durable material.
Hand-carved: Describes a technique where the pile of the rug is cut to different levels to produce a decorative pattern.
Measuring for your rug
Measuring correctly for your rug makes ordering easy, and prevents taking home a rug that's unexpectedly too large or small. The dimensions of each rug we sell are shown in the product information.
Grab a tape measure...
...and some newspaper or masking tape, mark out the size of the rug you want to buy where you will position it. This lets you see how the rug will fit with the rest of your furniture. Clever eh?
Most of our rugs come tightly rolled so it's easier for you to take home or have delivered. All you need to do is unroll and position in its new home.
At first wrinkles and curling are to be expected. Smooth out as best as you can and leave for a day. The fibres will relax, leaving you with a perfectly presented rug.
Corners still curling up? Fold them under for a day so that the curve is bent the opposite way. This helps the corners to settle in their place.
Many rugs have a non-slip backing sewn into them to prevent the rug moving on wooden flooring. Some woven rugs don't have a backing, but you can purchase a separate underlay to stop movement and wrinkling.
