home and garden interior decoratingHow do you choose a rug for hardwood floors?
- Carefully clean the area before laying down the rug.
- Clean/vacuum the rug regularly.
- Pick the right size rug – an oversized rug ruins the aesthetics.
- Always use good quality non-slip rug pad below the rug.
- Create harmony with the color and design of your room.
In this regard, what kind of rugs are safe for hardwood floors?
A wool or wool-blend area rug is a common choice for a hardwood floor. Wool is comfortable, durable and easy to clean. They come in both a flat weave and a tufted wool.
Similarly one may ask, what color rug goes with wood floors?
If you're looking for color, pair your dark wood floors with a rug rich in color – a warm red, orange, or yellow. If you feel like your floors are too dark, this is the perfect excuse to bring in an oversized area rug in a warm, light color.
Generally, a rug is placed under furniture such as a dining table, bed, or lounge suite. Even best of area rugs can slip around on the smooth surface of the hardwood flooring, so a good way to keep them properly positioned and to prevent them from slipping is to use rug pads under them.
