Discover the best rug ideas for your living room, to help you find the right rug. The living room is the most important room in the house. You spend the most time here, whether you are watching television, playing games or welcoming guests. And because it is such an important room, you want it to feel as homely and comfortable as possible. A rug is one of the best ways to achieve that feeling.

The best living room rug ideas

1. Go for luxury with a wool rug

When it comes to choosing a new rug, there is a great deal to consider. But if you are after the best of the best, wool rugs are the ones for you. Wool is a natural fibre and extremely hard-wearing. It also resists dirt, stains and wear. Wool rugs are hypoallergenic too, which makes them a good choice for people with allergies. Wool rugs feel soft and give a luxurious sensation underfoot.
You will find a wide selection at Morgenland.

2. Think about colour

When it comes to choosing a rug for your living room, one of the first things to consider is the colour. The possibilities are endless, but fortunately we at Morgenland are here to help. Start by thinking about the overall style of your living room. Is it formal or informal? What colours are your sofa and chairs? What colour are your walls? If your room has a lot of dark colours, choose a lighter rug to balance them. If your room is mostly in light colours, a darker rug can create a sense of comfort.

3. Bring structure to your floor

A well-placed rug can give your room structure and make it feel more coherent. It can also help protect your floor and make it last longer. When choosing a rug for your living room, keep the size of the room firmly in mind above all. You do not want a rug that is too small or too large for the space. We at Morgenland are glad to advise you.

4. Play with pattern

As far as patterns go, there are no limits. You can choose a rug with a striking pattern if you want to set an accent, or go for a more restrained look with a simple geometric design. If you are not sure what suits your space, look for inspiration in magazines or at Morgenland.

5. Watch the materials when choosing a living room rug

When it comes to choosing a living room rug, the materials matter. To help you make the best decision for your home, we at Morgenland have put together a list of the most popular ones.

Wool is a natural fibre that is both hard-wearing and soft. It is hypoallergenic too, which makes it a good choice for allergy sufferers. Wool rugs are often more expensive than those made from synthetic fibres, but with the right care they can last for years.
Synthetic fibres such as polyester, nylon, acrylic and vinyl are often used in living room rugs. They cost less than wool and repel dirt. Rugs made from synthetic fibres are also easy to clean and come in a wide range of colours.

6. Choose plant-fibre flooring for a natural look

If you are looking for a natural floor covering that gives your home a distinctive look, plant fibres are a good choice. There are many different plant fibres used for floor coverings, and each has its own look and feel. Plant-fibre coverings are also very hard-wearing and easy to care for.

7. Consider a made-to-measure rug

When it comes to choosing a rug for your living room there are many factors to weigh up. Colour, style, material and pile are only some of the things to think about. But one of the most important is the size of your room.
The best way to be sure of getting the perfect rug is to have it made to measure. Our team of experts at Morgenland can advise you here.

8. Look for quality in a woven rug

If you decide on a woven rug for your home, it is important to look at quality. Start by looking at how the rug is constructed. The way a rug is woven affects how long it will last.
Another point to watch is the quality of the yarn.

In the living room especially, it is worth looking closely at origin, material and workmanship, because the rug is usually highly visible there and shapes the whole feel of the room. Anyone looking for the finest authentic oriental rugs should therefore decide on more than colour and pattern, and look as well at natural fibres, knotting technique and a harmonious overall effect. That creates a rug that looks luxurious without overwhelming the room.

And finally, take a look at the guarantee. The better the guarantee, the more confidence you can have in the rug's quality.

9. Or choose a tufted rug

Tufted rugs are made by looping yarn through the rug's backing, which creates a raised, textured surface. This kind of rug is often used in formal living rooms or bedrooms, but works in more relaxed spaces too.

10. Allow for different kinds of binding

Different rooms in your home often need different bindings. There are several factors to weigh up when choosing the right binding for your home.
The first is the type of floor covering in the room. The second is how much the room is walked on. A room that gets a lot of traffic needs a different kind of binding from one that is used less.

Conclusion

Rugs are a wonderful way to bring comfort and style into your home. But with so many different types and styles, it can be hard to decide which is right for your living room. To make the decision easier, we at Morgenland are glad to advise you.
