Things to consider while searching for the perfect pattern in a rug.

• Material –  Do you want a rug with natural materials such as a jute rug, or a synthetic blend?
• What type of flooring is in the room – For some rugs that go on hardwood floors, a rug pad is a good idea to keep it from shifting over time and possibly scratching the floors especially in high traffic areas.
• Rug Size – Rugs come in all shapes and sizes. A large area rug can fill an entire room and a smaller rug is perfect for greeting guest at the front door. Below is a chart for common rug sizes.
