Buying rugs can be a difficult process, particularly due to all of the choices available with sizes, materials and design. Not to mention it has to meld cohesively with the rest of the decor of the room.
Buying rugs online presents a whole new challenge. Rather than being confined to the four walls of a physical brick and mortar establishment, the online marketplace is full of options with endless possibilities and ideas. Moreover, a big item like a rug is difficult to return once delivered. It can easily become very overwhelming to a first-time shopper. Here are a few things to consider when shopping for designer floor rugs online.

Measure the Space
Without being able to physically see or feel out the rug, dimensions and numbers start to take priority. Being aware of the exact measurements will ensure that the rug will fit nicely into the space.
Clear Goals
Have a clear goal of what kind of rug you are looking for and consider the existing elements within the home, if shopping to fill a space. If you’re shopping for an empty space, consider what kind of feeling or atmosphere you’d like to create. Are you interested in the clean lines of contemporary design? Maybe something more classic and traditional? Having these clear ideas in mind will make it easier to narrow down the vast options. Tribe Home rugs are known for neutral colours and understated patterns like the Aero design, grayson design and kenya weave, all of which are great options that will match any decor. For some pops of colour, consider Langdon rugs like the fringe indigo and white, the floss fringe rug or even the desert colourful, which add interest to simple rooms. Lovers of eclectic patterns will enjoy Amigos de Hoy rugs such as the trails or tembo design.
Focus on One Room at a Time
Different rooms have different requirements and will likely encounter varying traffic levels. Spaces like living rooms, for instance, are likely to be utilised more, and even more so if children and pets are present. Bedrooms, on the other hand, are likely to be low traffic areas. In a high traffic area, it is advisable to go with durable and spill resistant rugs whereas more plush and delicate fabrics are more suited to low traffic areas. Similarly, every home is built differently with spaces being of varying sizes. Smaller rooms benefit from lighter colour rugs which open the space up. Larger spaces, on the other hand, can be made more cosy and intimate with a darker rug.
Knowing the Website
With a lot of questionable retailers on the internet, it can be easy to get duped or cheated with a faulty product. Reputable retailers will often have well-designed websites with contact information readily available, should you need to clarify any confusion or confirm details. Always check the refunds and returns policy, for added insurance should there be any complications with the product.
