Rugs vs Carpet: Which One Should You Buy?

A rug can change your full room look in 2 minutes. But many people get confused between rug and carpet. Let’s clear it.

What is Difference?

Rug: Small size, you can move it. Easy to wash. Best for living room, under coffee table.

Carpet: Big size, covers full floor wall-to-wall. Fixed. Best for bedroom and cold areas.

How to Choose Right Size?

For Sofa: Rug should be big enough so front legs of sofa come on rug.

For Dining Table: Rug should be 2 feet bigger than table on all sides.

For Bedroom: Take 5×7 feet rug, keep under bed.

Which Material is Best?

Wool Rug: Very soft, warm, long life but costly.

Cotton Rug: Light, easy to wash, best for summer.

Polyester Rug: Cheap, colorful, easy to clean. Best for family with kids.

Color Tip:

If your sofa is light color – take dark colorful rug. If sofa is dark – take light rug. This makes room look balanced.

Cleaning Tip:

Vacuum once a week. If liquid falls, clean quickly with dry cloth. Don’t keep in direct sunlight for long time.
