What is the best rug shape for me?

Choosing the wrong shape and size for a room can make it look funny and the design you are dreaming of might just fly away, for that reason we created simple guidelines to help you identify what is the best rug shape for you.


-Be aware of the area where you want to use your rug. Getting a carpet that allows you to shift slightly without it being a big issue is a great acquisition as long as it fits the room while going a few inches too small can make a room look awkward. 

-In most cases, making sure there are about 10 to 20 inches between the edges of the rug and the walls of the room will be just perfect to make sure everything is in place.

-When you use a braided area rug in a living room or any place where it will be surrounded by furniture, the perfect carpet size is the one that fits beneath all major pieces of furniture.

-You could also design simple yet classic spaces using an oval or circular braided rugs, their clean endings allow creating minimalistic living environments with spotless designs. It will help to add sophistication to any living space

-A smaller round rug can be used to create focal spaces, mind the size, it is important to make the space look clean. Imagine a reading chair and a side table on top of the rug, it looks great and gets all the attention.

How to clean braided rugs?

Braided rugs are an American classic that has evolved to the point they can adapt to traditional home decor designs or contemporary home environments. 

They easily match any home decor, luckily it is not hard to take care of them and keep them clean, to do it yourself you just need to adjust your routine to vacuum your braided rug, the clue is to vacuum it on both sides.

We also recommend taking it out during the hottest month of the year and wash it using a soft soap, make sure to test the diluted soap using it on a little spot of your rug to make sure it won't damage it, once you know it is safe, use a soft brush on it, hose off, roll up gently to cause the remaining water to discharge, then let it dry, the heat will be a handful during this process.
