LARGE SIZES

Large area rugs are an at once functional and aesthetic must for any home. When you choose them thought fully, they will tie your furniture together, define a large open space, and add warmth and texture to hardwood, tile or concrete floors. In a great room, a dining area which has been expanded, or a wide open loft you will find that a large area rug is a basic element that anchors your decor and takes your interior style to the next level.

Why Choose a Large Area Rug?

Large scale rugs which are the big guys in terms of size start at 8x10 feet and we see them up to 9x12 and beyond. The large rugs cover more floor space which in turn allows you to define smaller areas within very large rooms. Also a well chosen large rug will tie in with the sofa, the chairs, the coffee table and other furniture elements which in turn creates a more put together and thought out space.

Versatility Across Rooms

Large area rugs do very well in living rooms, dining rooms, master bedrooms, and also in home offices. In living rooms they create the ideal background for a seating group which may have all or just the forward legs of the furniture touching the rug, which in turn creates a unified conversation area.

In terms of dining, we see that large rugs keep chairs from scuffing the floor when pulled out and also protect against that wobble. In the bedroom large rugs add a plush touch at the foot which also as you get out of bed creates a soft transition.

Material Choices for Durability and Style

A large range of materials is what you will see for area rugs which are used for various design schemes and needs. For the natural fiber lover wool rugs provide unsurpassed softness, warmth, and longevity. Wool is also an excellent choice for its natural stain resistance and color retention which in turn makes it a great investment. Also consider natural options of cotton, jute, and sisal which bring in that earthy texture and eco friendly appeal, great for casual or rustic decors.

Design Options to Complement Your Decor

Large scale rugs present a great base to work with. We see bold geometric patterns as well as very subtle tone on tone textures, traditional Persian designs as well as very modern abstract prints. The style options are infinite.

Neutral tones such as gray, beige, and cream set a tranquil base that goes with almost any decor, at the same time vivid jewel tones and dense patterns put out a strong statement. Large rugs may totally disappear into the background or become the main focus of your room’s design.

Practical Considerations and Maintenance

Due to their size, large rugs do require a little more attention than that which is given to small area rugs but what they require is not too difficult. We do regular vacuuming to keep down dust and for spill clean up we use spot cleaning. Also, using a quality rug pad under your large rug not only helps with movement and slip issues but also helps in the preservation of the rug’s shape as well as makes your walk across it a softer experience.

A Statement of Comfort and Style

Investing in a large area rug is a way to transform your space into a home that expresses your taste and what you live for. From a nook for family get togethers which requires comfort, to a fashion forward piece to impress your guests, or a practical solution for everyday use a large area rug does it all.
