Contemporary Area Rugs

What are contemporary rugs

In contrast to traditional rugs, contemporary area rugs have a modern aspect, they are characterized by the freedom in their designs, sophisticated splash, and color patterns that are more likely to fit in small spaces.

The style of a contemporary rug can go from a bohemian rug to an abstract rug or from bold design to subtle rugs that can adapt to any space. 

The contemporary design carpet offered is super wide, to choose the perfect one is just a matter of personal taste.

How do I choose the best rug for me?

Contemporary rugs can adapt better to spaces that are more relaxed or informal, before deciding what rug is better for you and the space you have available it is important to consider the dimensions of the room where you want to place it, the decor you have at home, the traffic of the area where you are placing the rug. Little changes in any of these decisions can be critical to creating the environment you are dreaming of.

Choosing a carpet considering your kids or pets is also a good idea, you want to get one that feels soft underfoot and that is easy to clean, natural fiber rugs can be a good option, but a carpet made of synthetic fiber might be a better option.

How can you choose the perfect rug size?

• The first thing you want to do is to design the room where you want to use the area rug

• The initial advice is to lay your room out first and then put down painter’s tape to figure out where you’d like a carpet to be

• Keep in mind that the perfect area rug can fit beneath all major furniture in a space.

• Leave 10 to 20 inches between the edges of the carpet and the walls of the room, it’ll make your room look bigger

Are rug pads useful?

Regardless of the rug material used to make your carpet, rug pads are incredibly useful for offering cushion while keeping your rug securely in place on the floor, which is something we always recommend to our clients.

How to take care of a contemporary rug made with natural fibers?

It will highly depend on the material of your rug, taking care of a natural fiber rug or a synthetic rug will take different considerations.

Wool is a natural fiber that can last over many years and the texture is amazing, for that reason it is one of our favorite materials for rugs, and taking care of them is quite easy.

When they are new, wool rugs are likely to shed, but it can be solved by vacuuming your rug once or twice per week, do it in the direction of the pile. The excessive shedding will go away with time.

Since wool is a natural fiber we don't advise you to use harsh chemicals on your rugs. The best option is to dilute the soft soap of your preference in a generous amount of water, always test whatever product you are using in a little spot on your rug— If you don't want to take any risks stick to water

An additional tip that we always share with our customers is to use a pad, rug pads are super useful to provide comfort and cushion while keeping your rug firmly in place on the floor.

How to look after synthetic fiber rugs?

Polypropylene, polyester, and other synthetic rugs are one of the most common materials for rugs in North America; these rugs are cheap, they are lightweight, ideal for high-traffic areas, and super easy to clean

They are also made to last and to keep their shape, even in outdoor conditions synthetic fiber rugs are extremely durable, they resist moisture pretty well and sunlight does not affect their colors the same way it does to natural fiber rugs. 

To clean them up, regular vacuuming is the best option to remove the dirt and dust from your contemporary rug. In case you want a deep cleaning service you can always call your local rug cleaning service
