For lounge rooms, rugs play a significant role in anchoring the space, adding warmth, and enhancing the overall style. Here are some curated rug recommendations for lounge rooms based on different layouts, sizes, and aesthetics:
1. Small Lounge Room
Ideal Rug Size: 160×230 cm (5×7 ft) or 200×290 cm (6×9 ft).
Rug Style:
- Use neutral tones (e.g., beige, ivory, or light grey) like your Malak Rug to make the space feel open and bright.
- Choose low-pile rugs like the Babylon Collection for easy maintenance while adding a distressed, vintage look for character.
Placement Tip:
- Center the rug under the coffee table, with at least the front legs of the sofa on the rug.
2. Medium Lounge Room
Ideal Rug Size: 240×330 cm (8×11 ft).
Rug Style:
- Go for modern, plush textures like those in your Crystal Collection for softness and elegance.
- For a statement piece, try a bold geometric design or vibrant tones from collections like Stella by Saray Rugs to inject personality.
Placement Tip:
- Ensure the rug extends beneath all seating pieces to create a unified, cozy look.
3. Large Lounge Room/Open Plan Living
Ideal Rug Size: 300×400 cm (10×13 ft) or larger.
Rug Style:
- Use the Heriz-Style Rugs for a traditional and grand aesthetic. Their intricate patterns and rich tones will anchor oversized spaces beautifully.
- For a minimalist or contemporary lounge, opt for your Viper Wool Collection, which combines modern palettes with premium wool for a luxurious, sophisticated look.
Placement Tip:
- The rug should frame the entire seating area, with all furniture sitting on it for a well-proportioned feel. In open-plan living spaces, it will also help define the lounge zone.
4. Luxe and Cozy Vibes
Material Recommendation:
- Wool: Durable, soft, and timeless (e.g., your FLOKATI Range or Viper Collection).
- Polyester or Viscose Blends: Add shine and a luxe feel (e.g., Crystal Collection).
- Silk or Silk-Like: Perfect for low-traffic lounge rooms to enhance elegance.
Color and Style Suggestions:
- Neutral and Earthy Tones: For a calm, grounded space, choose rugs like Malak or Navajo Mist.
- Bold Patterns and Colors: Add vibrancy with your Darcy Range or Babylon distressed rugs.
5. High-Traffic Lounge Rooms
For family or busy living spaces, choose durable, easy-to-clean rugs like:
- Polypropylene Rugs: From Rug Culture for stain resistance and longevity.
- Wool Rugs: From your Braided Wool Range, combining style and durability.

placement tips for rugs in lounge rooms
Proper placement of rugs in lounge rooms can transform the space by tying furniture together and creating a balanced look. Here are detailed placement tips to guide you:
1. Standard Furniture Placement (Traditional Setup)
- Rug Placement: Place the rug so that all furniture legs (sofas, chairs, coffee tables) rest on the rug.
- When to Use: Works best for large lounge rooms or when using extra-large rugs (e.g., 300×400 cm or larger).
- Effect: Creates a cohesive, unified look and anchors the seating area beautifully.
2. Front-Legs-Only Placement (Space-Saving Setup)
- Rug Placement: Place the rug so that only the front legs of the sofa and chairs sit on the rug.
- When to Use: Ideal for medium-sized rooms or smaller rugs (e.g., 240×330 cm).
- Effect: Makes the room feel open while visually connecting the furniture.
3. Coffee Table-Centered Placement (Compact Setup)
- Rug Placement: Center the rug under the coffee table, leaving the sofa and chairs off the rug entirely.
- When to Use: Works well in small lounge rooms with rugs sized 160×230 cm or smaller.
- Effect: Adds texture and warmth without overwhelming the space.
4. Full Room Coverage (Oversized Setup)
- Rug Placement: Choose a rug large enough to cover most of the floor, leaving only 20-30 cm of bare floor exposed around the edges.
- When to Use: Perfect for oversized lounge rooms or open-plan layouts with large rugs (e.g., 350×450 cm or larger).
- Effect: Grounds the space, balances proportions, and adds warmth to the entire room.
5. Layered Placement (Textural Setup)
- Rug Placement: Layer a smaller, decorative rug over a larger base rug, such as a neutral jute or sisal rug.
- When to Use: Great for adding texture and dimension, especially in eclectic or boho-style lounge rooms.
- Effect: Makes the space look curated and cozy.
6. Floating Furniture Placement (Contemporary Setup)
- Rug Placement: Center the rug in the seating area, leaving some space between the rug and the furniture (e.g., 10-20 cm gap).
- When to Use: Suitable for lounge rooms where the rug is a bold focal point or for minimalist designs.
- Effect: Creates an airy, open feel while showcasing the rug’s design.
Additional Tips for Rug Placement in Lounge Rooms:
- Leave Equal Space: Ensure equal amounts of rug are visible on all sides of the furniture for a balanced look.
- Proportional Size: The rug should be proportional to the seating area. Avoid rugs that are too small, as they can make the room feel disjointed.
- Furniture Centering: If the sofa is against the wall, ensure the rug extends equally on both sides of the sofa.
- Round Rugs: For unique setups or small lounge corners, a round rug can soften the space and create a cozy nook.
