In search of the perfect rug

Rugs are one of the major allies of interior design because they not only help dress our homes, but also because they are a natural insulate  that give off a sensation of comfort and provide the best solution for defining spaces in the house with elegance. Style, colour and size are the main factors.

Depending on the use we wish to give them and our budget as well, there is a great variety. To give an exclusive touch, for example, woven rugs with natural fibres are ideal. If we compare them with acrylic or nylon rugs, they are of course more expensive. Crafted woollen weaves are also highly valued because they are long-lasting and are very comfortable, as well as being anti-allergic. For Menorca, in contrast, cotton rugs are better because on being cooler, they are ideal for the summer months.

If we think about colour, there is a series of factors to take into account because we should be aware that the colour of the rug has an influence of future changes in the design of our furnishings and even on the design of the whole house. With this in mind, you don’t have to choose a colour that matches exactly, rather we can choose a shade that complements the style of house we have. If we want our lounge or dining room to seem larger and brighter, we should use light colours. Darker shades, in contrast, provide a cosy atmosphere.

Be careful, however, not to fall into the trap of choosing white if we have children and pets at home because we might regret it. The best thing to do is to ask for samples and we can then test how a particular colour would look at home
