Best Modern Rugs For Living Room

In place of travel planning and deciding what to wear every day (the answer is always: loungewear), our brains – and finances – have had some time to focus on our interiors. And that means you've likely got 381429 mood boards going, have finally settled on an overarching style, and probably invested in some dreamy new furniture. Now, it's time to make a statement with a brand-new rug.

Whether you're a homeowner or a renter, a rug is an easy win if you're looking to transform any space at home for a relatively low price. And the impact that a stylish rug can make shouldn't be underestimated – the best rugs are a foolproof way to bring colour, texture and character into your home. So whatever style of rug you opt for, consider it a form of artwork for the floor that will make yourself and guests (post-lockdown, that is) feel right at home.

What type of rug do I need?

It's a great idea to firstly decide what you're looking for in a rug; is it to protect the flooring, for durability, or aesthetic pleasure?

Shaggy rugs are often thickly piled, they feel great under the feet in bedrooms, but they are tricky to clean. Patterned rugs are a great look for hallways; there's a huge variety, they're purse-friendly, but be warned, pattern-fashion moves on quite quickly. Sheepskin or cowhide rugs are a trendy addition to a dark room – and if you don't fancy going for the real deal, there are plenty of faux styles available.

Wool rugs, one of the most popular choices, are naturally stain-resistant, easy-to-clean, and sustainable – but do tend to fall on the more expensive side. Another option is to hunt down a vintage rug; filled with personality, they're a quick update to any rooms that lack a little soul and thanks to the McGee's on Netflix's Dream Home Makeover, there's lots of vintage rug styling to take inspiration from.

How do I pick the right size rug for the room?

The bigger the better, especially if you're picking out a rug for the living room or bedroom. Where possible in the living room, a rug should fit comfortably under all of your living room seating and your coffee table. In the bedroom ensure the rug is big enough to fit under your bed, and ideally, it should be on display equally on either side of your bed. If you're following feng shui when buying a new rug (after all, we need all the help we can to get a bit of harmony in our lives right now) remember the golden rule of rugs: rugs should not be touching any walls.
