To make a room feel larger and more cohesive, your rugs should ideally be large enough for all the major pieces of furniture to sit on top. In a seating area, this means at least the front legs of your sofa and armchairs should rest on the rug. For a standard 240x160cm rug, this provides a framed look for your coffee table and seating. If you have a larger open-plan space, our 350x240cm rugs act as a powerful anchor, defining the living area and preventing furniture from looking like it is floating in the middle of the room.
Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of your rugs. We recommend vacuuming at least once a week using a suction-only setting, as rotating brushes can sometimes pull at the delicate fibres of cotton or hand-woven wool loops. For accidental spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, white absorbent cloth, never rub, as this can spread the stain. For deeper cleans, especially with our natural cotton and wool rugs, we suggest professional cleaning every 12–18 months. Using a high-quality rug underlay not only prevents slipping but also reduces wear by providing a protective cushion between the rug and the hard floor.
The shape of your rugs can completely change the dynamic of a room. Rectangular rugs are the classic choice for defining structured areas like dining spots or traditional lounge layouts. Round rugs, such as our 150cm Modern Art series, are fantastic for softening rooms with many sharp angles or for creating a focal point in smaller nooks, entryways, or under round coffee tables. Choosing a round rug can make a compact space feel more fluid and less restricted, while rectangular options provide a more grounded and formal foundation for larger furniture arrangements.
