WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE RUGS…

Rugs and runners are a great solution to sound absorption, especially if you have hardwood floors in your home. They are also a great addition to flats and apartments as they prevent noise migration. We advocate avoiding the traditional floating rug in the centre of the room. Ideally, the rug you choose should be large enough to fit under all four legs of each piece of furniture. If this isn’t possible the front legs of your furniture should be positioned on the rug. Apart from anchoring your furniture, it also helps prevents trips and falls. Contemporary design thinking states your rug size should be based on the dimensions of your room and not just your coffee table! Opting for a larger rug will fill in the negative space created by more sparse furniture arrangements.
