A rug for the living room

Rugs bring a beautiful style to your living room and other living spaces. They also help you create the atmosphere you’re looking for. Textiles help you soundproof your living room. Hard surfaces, such as furniture, walls and floors increase echo, while a rug will insulate and dampen sound. A rug will improve the sound quality of music or even the television.

Natural fibres with a pleasant feel, such as wool and linen, are generally the preferred options for living room rugs. Our low-pile rugs such as Hattara, Satine or Viita create a soft ambience.

A rug with our high-quality backing will stay in place, even in passageways, or with children and pets around. Our rugs’ first-class backing works excellently even with underfloor heating, as it is designed to transmit heat. Read more about our rug backing.

The size of the living room rug is often designed according to the furniture. For the best result, choose a rug that is big enough. It’s always better to choose one big rug than two small ones. Your rug should be clearly longer than the sofa. If the rug and the sofa are the same length, the rug will look proportionately smaller.

A rug in the living room will tie the furniture together. For the best appearance, we recommend you place your rug partly under the sofa, or in a very large room, the furniture can stand on the rug completely. A good rug is easy to maintain and keep clean and it doesn’t need to be moved often. Read more about caring for rugs.

Rugs can be used to define the different functions of a space. In a home with an open floor plan, a rug is a great way to mark off the living space into an area of its own without interfering with the openness of the space.

For great tips on choosing a living room rug, look at interior design photos. You will see that they use large rugs to create the right atmosphere. If you’re trying to decide between two sizes, choose the bigger one for your living room. Our skilled staff at our factory outlet in the district of Tammisto in Vantaa will be more than happy to help you choose the right size.

Our rugs are made to measure. Often standard-sized rugs look out of place in modern homes. The standard sizes of rugs have been the same for decades and don’t necessary meet the needs of modern homes that have open spaces incorporating the living room, dining area and other spaces. Read more about our made to measure rugs.
