Hey, We found that there a few important choices to be made when deciding on a rug. firstly consider how large you want it. If its a small room, perhaps get a smaller rug, and if you have furniture that is going on top of it, make sure you factor this into the equation. Secondly, choose the material, be it wool,cashmere, cord or any other, it is vital. Design is also a important factor along with color. Make sure it doesnt clash with the walls.
