Rugs and carpets add warmth, sound absorption and color to a room. Construction types include hand-knotted rugs, hand-tufted rugs, flatweaves such as kilims and dhurries, braided and hooked rugs, and machine-made rugs. Materials range from wool and silk to cotton, jute, sisal and synthetics, each with a different feel, durability and care routine.
Vintage and antique rugs are a specialty of many independent dealers, who can tell you about origin, age, condition and any restoration. Washable rugs and synthetic options suit kitchens, entries and homes with pets. Runners fit hallways and stairs, and rug pads keep rugs from slipping and protect floors.
Choosing the right size is the most common challenge. In living rooms, many people let the front legs of furniture sit on the rug; in dining rooms, the rug should extend beyond the chairs when pulled out.
Choosing a rug
- Measure the room and mark the rug size on the floor with tape before buying.
- Check construction and material, as they affect durability, shedding and care.
- For vintage rugs, ask about age, origin, wear, repairs and whether it has been professionally cleaned.
- Pick washable or synthetic rugs for high-spill areas and wool for warmth and resilience.
- Use a rug pad to stop slipping and protect your floor.
- Ask for photos in daylight, since rug colors can shift with lighting.
Questions about rugs & carpets
What size rug do I need?
It depends on the room and furniture layout. Measure your space and mark the outline on the floor before ordering. Sellers can suggest sizes if you message them with your room dimensions.
Do wool rugs shed?
New wool rugs often shed a little at first, and this usually reduces over time. Ask the seller what to expect for a specific rug.
How do I clean a vintage rug?
Many vintage rugs should be professionally cleaned. Ask the seller for care advice specific to the rug's materials and dyes.
