Area Rugs

Area rugs are a quick, easy, and beautiful way to add personal style to any room, while also serving to protect your flooring investment from scraping chairs, muddy shoes, and the everyday wear and tear of life. When paired with a good-quality rug pad, an area rug can extend the lifetime of your floor while delineating different “zones” within a room, adding warmth and texture, muffling sounds, and making a colorful statement.

Floor covering accounts for almost 30% of a room's color.

Nothing can change the look of a room more than color. If your area rug is going to be the dominant element, choose a patterned rug with distinctive color combinations. Use shades from the rug to select paints and accessories; then carry those color themes into adjacent rooms with coordinating rugs.

If your rug is going to play a secondary role, then keep it fairly neutral. It can still be patterned, but in subtle tones that complement other furnishings and fabrics in the room. Should you decide to use your rug as a backdrop for other furnishings, selecting a textured rug—with a ground color slightly lighter or darker than your walls— helps it quietly blend into the décor.

Green Area Rugs

Many of the area rug brands we carry are manufactured using sustainable materials like nylon or renewable ingredients that can be infinitely replaced - like wool - giving you beautiful rugs while preserving the earth's nonrenewable resources for future generations.
