Rugs

Rugs bring colour and warmth to any room and if you are looking to add a layer of comfort and style to your home, our selection of floor coverings will complement any room whilst also protecting your floors. For high traffic areas, we recommend a short pile rug that is hardwearing and easy to clean. For a bedroom, nothing works better than a thick pile to give you a soft feeling underfoot after a good night’s sleep. Perfect for enhancing the look of your living area, our rugs complement <a href="/home-furniture-storage/furniture/sofas.cat">sofas</a> of all styles, creating a cohesive and inviting space. Simply use <a href="/home-furniture-storage/home-furnishings/household-cleaning/vacuum-cleaners.cat">vacuum cleaners</a> to keep them looking fresh and vibrant, ensuring a dust-free environment. From intricately patterned designs to thick piles, you will find an area rug or small option to fit your needs at B&Q.

What is an area rug?

An area rug is a large floor covering typically used to define and anchor a specific area within a room. They cover a particular portion of the floor and introduce style, comfort, and functionality to the space. An area rug will help create a sense of organisation and separation, which is especially beneficial in larger rooms. Aside from the aesthetic enhancement an area rug will offer, they’re also great for protecting flooring from scratches, stains, and wear, which is common in heavy foot traffic areas.
 

Where to put rug in bedroom?

The optimum placement for a rug in a bedroom depends on the size and layout of the room, as well as your personal preferences and intended aesthetic.
Under the bed: A large rug under the bed can create a cosy and visually appealing focal point. Ensure that the rug extends out the sides and foot of the bed for a comforting soft surface when you get out of bed.
Along the bed: A small rug can be placed alongside the bed to add warmth, comfort, and texture, as well as add a personalised touch.
Centred in the room: If you have the space, placing a rug in the centre of the room and away from the bed can define a separate seating or lounging area within your room.
 

Where to place a rug in living room?

The best placement for a rug in the living room will depend on your available space, the rooms layout, as well as your intended aesthetic. Ideally, opt for a rug large enough to define the space while allowing for comfortable movement around the furniture.
Centred under furniture: Anchor your living room and create a cohesive look by placing the rug in the centre of the seating area, with the furniture arranged on or around it.
Front legs on the rug: Define your seating area while still showcasing the flooring around the room by having the front legs of furniture, such as the sofa or chairs, positioned slightly back from the edge of the rug.
Partial coverage: Draw attention to specific areas of your living room, such as a coffee table or a fireplace, by placing a small rug under or in front of it, creating a designated focal point within your space.
