Lounge room rugs: how to make the best choice when furnishing the living room with one or more rugs?

When it comes to selecting lounge room rugs of any home, it is important to consider the balance between the functionality of the individual item and its aesthetics. In this sense, the ideal carpet should meet practical requirements, such as durability and ease of cleaning, but also have an attractive design that is specifically capable of creating an atmosphere in keeping with the overall style of the living room.

When comparing several alternatives, one must always remember that the carpet is an element that can greatly influence the overall look of the space, so it is important to take time to carefully evaluate the available options and then choose the one that best suits the specific needs of the project.

How to choose the most suitable lounge room rugs?

In order to be able to choose the most suitable lounge room rugs, several factors must be taken into consideration, starting with the living context and the size of the space, and ending with evaluations regarding the design of the piece.

First of all, as we said, it is fundamental to evaluate the context in which the living room is located. If it is an environment frequented by many people, inhabitants or guests, it is advisable to opt for a carpet made of a resistant fibre and with a stain-resistant finish. In this way, the carpet will remain in optimal condition for a long time and any stains can be removed without too much trouble after proper cleaning.

The size and shape of lounge room rugs really depend on the context in which the products are to be placed. Some examples? One can opt, if the overall balance permits, for a large-format carpet , just as one can decide to purchase a piece with unusual shapes and customised dimensions. And speaking of customisation: the choice of a custom-made carpet  proves to be the winning one in practically every project. It is therefore good to take this into account and tend to do so.

As for colours, what is most advisable? Well, you can choose to go for carpets in neutral or dark tones, for example, which are more versatile and better able to fit in with the surrounding furnishings. Colours such as grey, dove grey or navy blue are all good ideas to make the room look more elegant and, at the same time, more refined and cosy.

What design should be chosen for lounge room rugs?

Choosing the right design for lounge room rugs is important to create an ambience that is cosy, inviting and elegant. The options to consider are varied and include plain-coloured carpets, carpets with geometric patterns, Oriental-inspired floral patterns, carpets with a worn effect and Scandinavian styles. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, which are worth considering carefully.

Solid-coloured carpets are a classic and versatile choice. They are appreciated above all because they give the living room a clean and uncluttered look and because they combine very easily with other elements of the decor.

If you want to give the room a more contemporary touch, you can choose carpets with geometric patterns. These designs add dynamism and personality to the room, but it is important to make sure that the decorative pattern harmonises with the other elements of the furniture, to avoid an overly chaotic look.

Lounge room rugs with oriental-inspired floral patterns may be the best way to give the living room a touch of elegance and sophistication. Again, it is very important to check that the design is in harmony with the other furniture elements in the room. This is both from a chromatic and stylistic point of view.

Those who wish to give the room an original and vintage touch can consider choosing a luxury worn-effect carpet. These models are often reminiscent of antique carpets in appearance and are an excellent solution when you want to add a touch of history and warmth to your living room without necessarily having to resort to an antique carpet.

How to furnish with one or more lounge room rugs of great value?

In a living room, the carpet plays a key role in creating a cosy and beautiful living environment. Positioning the artefact correctly is essential to achieve an excellent visual result.

A typical solution involves placing lounge room rugs in the centre of the room. You can then complete the décor by placing a coffee table in the centre of the carpet to create an area that is welcoming to guests.

This is not the end of the story. If the living room has sofas, as is often the case in practice, one can consider placing the living room rug in front of one of them. This arrangement helps to define the space and add a touch of comfort. Another useful tip? An appropriately sized artefact can also be used to visually delimit an area. This helps to create a feeling of intimacy and warmth.

In larger spaces, the living room rug can be surrounded by sofas and armchairs. As far-fetched as it may sound, this arrangement is actually useful for creating a real conversation zone and accommodating even more people than would be the case with other furnishing schemes.
