So no matter what type of flooring you have, they will be a rug to suit it. Here&#8217;s our tips for choosing the best rug for your type of floor:<\/p>\n<h2>Natural Wood<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6144\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/greyscale-03-e1459330461778.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"671\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For natural wood floors, it&#8217;s important to choose a rug with colours that won&#8217;t bleed into your floor, so they don&#8217;t stain it. You might also want to consider a rug with the same material on the front and back, such as a wool or cotton design. Our Plantation Greyscale rugs are a good choice, adding warmth and style whilst protecting the floor.<\/p>\n<h2>Laminate<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6145\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Freddie_Blue.jpg\" alt=\"Freddie_Blue\" width=\"671\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Laminate floors are very versatile, so you have a wide range of rugs that would work on a laminate floor, however you&#8217;ll want to avoid rubber, latex-backed or vinyl-backed rugs as these can permanently stain your floor. Laminate flooring is a great base for displaying a creative and colourful design.<\/p>\n<h2>Stone<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6146\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Oceans_Turquoise.jpg\" alt=\"Oceans_Turquoise\" width=\"671\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With Stone flooring being seen as having a cold, hard look and feel to it, you want to choose a rug that will soften that appearance and be comforting underfoot. Staying with natural materials is also a good call, as this will complement the look of your floor, so something like our 100% wool Oceans Rugs from our Plantation Rugs collection is a great choice.<\/p>\n<h2>Tile<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6147\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Maltino_White.jpg\" alt=\"Maltino_White\" width=\"671\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Tiles can also have an issue with feeling cold underfoot, so something warm and inviting can really help. A rug like our luscious Maltino Rug\u00a0will add a soft, plush look and feel to the space.<\/p>\n<h2>Carpet<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6148\" src=\"https:\/\/d1s8n1udmr3gbj.cloudfront.net\/media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/CatamaranStripeLightBlueIvory2x3.jpg\" alt=\"CatamaranStripeLightBlueIvory2x3 - rugs\" width=\"671\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some people don&#8217;t like the rug-on-carpet look, but with the right rug it can be really great and help to keep a carpet and the room it&#8217;s in a little cleaner. Something lightweight and, yes, easy to clean is a good choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rugs are a great way of adding style and warmth to a space.\u00a0And with the range of styles, colours and materials out there, they are incredibly versatile.
