What’s the difference between rugs and mats?

While they may refer to similar products—and many people do use these terms interchangeably—rugs and mats are actually different things. Rugs are a thick and heavy floor covering that do not extend over the whole floor, unlike a carpet. A mat can be similar in size to a rug, but it’s often made from a rougher, straw-like material and placed in the entryway.

How long should a good-quality rug last?

With proper care and maintenance, a good-quality rug can last up to 15 years. If you have young kids or pets, you’ll need to do a deep clean occasionally to retain the “new and fresh” look.

What rug size will fit a living room?

This will depend on the size of your living room and how much of the room you want to be taken up with a rug. Generally, living room rug sizes range from 2.0 x 2.5 m to 2.5 x 3.0m. Be sure to take measurements before purchasing.

What makes a rug luxurious?

A high-quality and luxurious rug is often made from premium materials like wool, silk, and other natural fibres. The result is an ultra-soft, breathable, and comfortable rug that the whole family can enjoy.

A necessity for any home in Australia, a doormat or classic welcome mat near the entryway or near the garage will pick up any loose dirt or debris off shoes.

Hallway runners

Hallway runners are a great way to add warmth and a bit of vibrancy to a hallway. They are parts of the house that can get particularly cold underfoot so these offer perfect respite.

The advantages of high-quality rugs and mats

Some people think that rugs and mats don’t need to be high quality, since most people will be stepping all over them but in fact, the opposite is true. Choosing high-quality options is crucial because of the foot traffic they have. They will not only look better, but they will also last longer with better quality materials and manufacturing. The last thing you want when you or your guests are walking around is for them to disintegrate or break apart which could also be hazardous too.

How to choose rugs and mats that are right for you

A great part of choosing rugs and mats is that they can either match your existing decor style, or add a pop of interest with contrasting shapes, colours, and sizes. It is important to consider all these things when deciding upon a rug or mat. They need to of course fit the space they’re being placed and be a complementary colour or design that enhances the room. You can, of course, make a more eclectic choice if you have the interior styling skill to pull it off.
