Rugs are one of the easiest ways to enhance a home, offering both style and functionality. Whether you’re looking to add warmth, protect your floors, or simply introduce a splash of colour, an indoor rug can make a huge difference. Let’s explore the many benefits of adding a rug to your space!

With so many benefits, it’s easy to see why rugs are a must-have in any home. Whether for style, comfort, or practicality, a well-chosen rug can truly transform your space!

The availability of the broad range of Flooring Xtra rugs is Australia-wide, and there’s something for everyone and every home. Some of our favourite styles include:

•  Natural rugs – Fibres like wool, jute and sisal are beautiful materials for rugs at home. They offer warmth and texture in abundance, and their authentic, natural effect is unparalleled.
• Shag-pile rugs – These fun rugs are a real feature in a home and work in casual spaces that encourage comfort and even play on the floor. These modern rugs are great additions to family rooms, at the end of a bed, kid’s spaces and more!
• Textured rugs – These range from flat-woven styles to plush, shaggy designs. They add warmth and interest to a space without overwhelming it with colour or pattern. Flat-weave rugs work well in coastal or eclectic interiors, while high-pile rugs create a relaxed, cosy feel—perfect for family or rumpus rooms.
• Organic-patterned rugs – Featuring swirls, curves, or floral designs, bring a classic touch to a room. They add movement and interest but work best in spaces without competing patterns, such as a boldly upholstered sofa. In smaller rooms, these patterns can make the space feel more confined, so they are best suited for larger areas.
• Striped rugs – Striped rugs are versatile, adding visual interest and structure. Depending on the orientation of the stripes, they can elongate a space or draw attention to specific elements. Low-pile striped rugs suit formal areas, while flat-weave versions feel more casual. Bolder stripes work best in minimalist spaces to avoid overwhelming the décor.
• Geometric rugs – Rugs featuring Moroccan-inspired designs or chevron patterns, make a bold statement. They pair well with simple, solid-coloured furniture like leather or block fabric upholstery. While they can be layered in eclectic spaces, their strong visual impact means they often work best as the focal point of a room.

Finding the perfect rug means considering both style and practicality. Every home is unique, and so are the needs of the people living in it. From high-traffic areas to personal design preferences, the right rug can enhance your space while standing up to everyday life.

The key to finding the right rug? Choose what you love! While guidelines can help, personal preference is what truly makes a space feel like home.

Choosing the right size rug can feel like an overwhelming task. Not to worry, Flooring Xtra have you covered! The overall message to take away is that the rug’s length should be longer than that of the furniture it sits on top of or alongside. For example, if the rug is sitting under a sofa, the rug should be longer than the sofa. This will mean the rug won’t appear to be floating in the space. Ensure there’s clearance for dining chairs too, if the rug is underneath a dining table.

A rug that is smaller in length than the sofa is one of the biggest interior design “no-nos”. Many interior designers will let you know the best option is to have your furniture on the rug which is a very tasteful and classic look, however, this is not always possible if the space does not allow it. If this is the case, make sure to layer the rug with items such as coffee tables and perhaps a side table too. There is no real right or wrong here, it really depends on the space. Just make sure the rug is big enough- err on the larger side if you’re uncertain!

Proper care and maintenance of your rug will help it last longer and retain its beauty. To keep your rug in top condition, follow these simple guidelines for general care, cleaning, and spot treatment.

General Care
Rotating your rug regularly is crucial to prevent uneven wear. Ideally, rotate your rug every six months, or more often if it’s exposed to heavy traffic. Regular professional cleaning is also recommended, typically three to four times a year, depending on how much use your rug gets.

Rug Care & Cleaning Guide
Three basic actions are essential for keeping your rug clean and in good shape:

• Frequent vacuuming
• Prompt cleaning of spills
• Periodic professional cleaning

For more difficult stains, professional help is recommended. It’s best to consult a professional to avoid further damage.

Rug flooring can add warmth and style to your home, but when they slip on hard floors, they can pose a safety hazard and cause frustration. Fortunately, there are several effective ways to prevent rugs from slipping, ensuring both safety and longevity.

One of the simplest solutions is to anchor your rug with furniture. By placing heavy furniture such as a coffee table or sofa on the edges or corners of the rug, you can prevent it from shifting. This not only keeps the rug in place but also adds a functional design element to your space. Ensure the furniture is evenly distributed across the rug’s surface to avoid creating an uneven tension that could lead to slipping.

Another important consideration is trip hazards. Rugs that slip or bunch up can cause accidents, especially in high-traffic areas like hallways or living rooms. It’s essential to keep the rug flat and secure to avoid creating dangerous situations for both children and adults. Regularly check for wrinkles or lifted corners, particularly in areas where people walk frequently.

For an added layer of protection, consider using a rug pad. Flooring Xtra offers Total Grip Pads, designed specifically to prevent rugs from slipping on hard floors or even carpet. These pads provide a non-slip surface beneath your rug, offering a simple yet effective solution for securing your rug in place. Whether you’re looking to prevent slips or simply want to preserve your rug’s appearance, using Total Grip Pads from Flooring Xtra is a smart, cost-effective solution.

Flooring Xtra can send floor rugs Australia wide and the Flooring Xtra Rug Store is a great place to start. With a large variety of styles, colours, shapes and fibre types, there’s sure to be a solution to your rug needs!
