Living Room Rugs
When selecting a living room rug, choose one that anchors your furniture by either placing all the legs on the rug or just the front legs, which helps define the seating area and enhances the room's acoustics.
Dining Room Rugs
When selecting a dining room rug, choose one large enough to fit under the table and chairs, ensuring that when the chairs are pulled out, they remain on the rug for a balanced look.
Bedroom Rugs
In the bedroom, opt for a rug that extends under the bed, providing a soft surface to step onto when getting out of bed and creating a cozy atmosphere.
Kitchen Rugs
For the kitchen, select a rug to place in front of the sink or under the countertops, offering comfort while standing and adding warmth to the space.
Bathroom Rugs
Choose a bathroom rug that fits comfortably in front of the sink or shower, providing a soft and absorbent surface for stepping out. For larger bathrooms, consider a rug that covers more area to enhance warmth and comfort.
Outdoor Rugs
For outdoor spaces like patios or decks, select a rug that complements the size of your seating area, leaving enough space around the furniture to create a well-defined and inviting look. Opt for weather-resistant materials to ensure durability.

To keep your wool or cotton rugs in top shape, follow these steps:
- Begin by blotting any stains with a dry cotton or white paper towel.
- Use a blunt instrument to carefully remove food or debris.
- Combine a minimal quantity of dish soap with a cup of cold water. Use this solution and a clean sponge to gently clean the stain. Avoid over-saturating the rug. Blot the cleaned area dry with a towel.
- Keep away from excessive heat or agitation as wool and cotton rugs are susceptible to bleeding and staining.
- For the best results, we advise a yearly professional cleaning.
For more information, check out our Rug Care Instructions.
- Do you offer free shipping?
- Yes — all orders within the continental US ship free. Most items ship within 24 hours from our warehouse in Calhoun, GA.
- What is your return policy?
- We offer 60-day returns on all rugs. If you are not happy with your purchase, contact us within 60 days of delivery for a full refund. We offer the lowest return shipping rate in the industry.
- How do I choose the right rug size?
- Measure your space first. For living rooms, pick a rug large enough for the front legs of all seating to rest on it. For dining rooms, allow 24" of rug beyond the edge of the table so chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. Our Size Guide below has room-by-room recommendations.
- Do you offer samples?
- Yes — for many rugs we offer a low-cost sample so you can check the color, texture, and pile in your space before committing. If a sample is available you will see a "Purchase a Sample" button above.
- Do I need a rug pad?
- For hard floors we strongly recommend a rug pad — it prevents slipping, protects the rug backing, adds cushion underfoot, and extends the life of the rug. We offer Premium (Mohawk) and Standard (Non-Slip) pads sized to this rug above.
- Are the colors in the photos accurate?
- Photos are color-calibrated but monitor settings vary. The "How it looks in different lighting" section below shows how this rug reads in warm, daylight, cool, and evening light. If you want certainty before buying, order a sample.
