At Home Interiors Online, we stock a stunning selection of high-quality rugs including the Maple 0927A Beige, and Harper ranges, all designed to bring comfort and character to your interiors.

Room-by-Room Rug Styling Guide

Living Room Rugs

Goal: Define seating zones and add visual warmth.

• Size Tip: A large rug should sit under the front legs of sofas and chairs.
• Style Tip: Choose soft neutrals like the Maple 0927A Beige for timeless elegance, or go bold with patterns for contrast.
• Texture Tip: Opt for thick piles or woven textures to create depth.

Bedroom Rugs

Goal: Add comfort and luxury underfoot when you wake up.

• Size Tip: Go large enough to extend 45–60cm beyond the bed frame.
• Style Tip: For a luxe look, choose plush rugs in calm tones like cream, grey, or blush.
• Layout Tip: Place the rug under the bottom two-thirds of the bed for balance.

Perfect Match: Harper Rug – ideal for soft, subtle styling

Dining Area Rugs

Goal: Anchor the dining table and soften noise.

• Size Tip: Rug should be large enough to fit all chairs, even when pulled out.
• Material Tip: Choose low-pile or flat-woven rugs for easy cleaning.

Pro Tip: See our care guide on making rugs last longer

Hallway & Entry Rugs

Goal: Make a welcoming first impression.

• Size Tip: Use runners that fit the hallway width and leave 6 inches from each wall.
• Style Tip: Choose durable materials with bold patterns or textures to hide wear.
• Function Tip: Non-slip backing is a must for high-traffic areas.

Style Idea: A hallway rug with a geometric print adds depth and interest.
