Measure your room and determine the right rug size
Choose materials based on durability, maintenance, kids, pets, and lifestyle
Understand wool, synthetic, cotton, jute, sisal, silk, and more
Compare hand-knotted, hand-tufted, hand-loomed, flatweave, and machine-made rugs
Understand pile height, texture, and how they affect comfort and maintenance
Choose colors and patterns that work with your space
Navigate solids, tonal, geometric, Persian, medallion, abstract, organic, and other rug styles
Properly clean and maintain your rug
Choose the right rug pad type and thickness
Shop with social and environmental responsibility in mind
See designer-favorite rugs and what makes them work
Use printable sizing guides and reference charts while you shop
You'll also find designer tips throughout the guide, along with worksheets, charts, room-measuring tools, and printable quick-reference pages you can come back to whenever you're shopping for a new rug.
Created by an NCIDQ-certified interior designer, this guide is designed to help you shop more confidently, understand what you're paying for, and ultimately choose a rug that looks beautiful and works for the way you actually live.
