Here are some tips to help you choose the right area rug.

Your size is key.

A rug that is too large will make your room seem cramped and stuffy. The opposite is true. A rug that’s too small creates an unfinished floating effect, which will detract from your design. To avoid both, you should measure your space. I find it very helpful to use a rule of thumb: choose one that is approximately two feet shorter than the smallest wall in your space.

There are many color options available when it comes to rugs. It’s important that your rug matches the color scheme of other furniture in the room. A darker rug can give off a warm feeling while a lighter one can open up space. A good tip is to match the rug with another accent in the space.

A variety of shapes are available for area rugs just as you can with color. Round rugs work best with smaller rooms. This applies equally to rectangular or square rugs.

Ultimate Mats can create warm, cozy spaces. For central living-room seating arrangements the medium-sized rug is best. Smaller area rugs, however, can be used below a center table.
