A rug is a great, easy way to infuse personal style. It can anchor a room, help define a space and create a cohesive look between rooms. There aren’t any hard and fast rules when choosing a rug, but keeping a rug’s color, texture and size in mind can help you make the perfect choice for your space.

Color is a natural place to start when choosing a rug. A neutral shade will complement any space, but if your wall color and furniture is all neutral, it could be a great place to show off some colors or patterns to give your space a total refresh.

Texture is also important to consider for a couple reasons. Just like accent pillows or throw blankets, rugs help a space feel layered and welcoming. Are you looking for a plush feel as soon as your feet hit the ground? Or do you need a lower pile rug so chairs can easily move across it? Do you need a rug that’s durable because it’s going to be in a high-traffic area? Considering questions like these will lead you to the perfect texture.

Size can often be the biggest conundrum when selecting a rug. Think of it this way: a rug should fit the size of the main area of a room, which is not necessarily the entire room. Not all of your furniture needs to be on the rug, but a general guideline is keeping at least the front legs of a sofa or chair atop the rug for a cohesive look. In a dining room, you’ll want to be able to pull chairs out from the dining table and still have them on top of the rug, so you can avoid awkward unevenness.
