The perfect rug anchors any room, and in India for 2025, it means careful selection. Size is crucial: leave 12–18 inches of bare floor around large rugs in living rooms; under dining tables, the rug should stretch at least 2 feet beyond chairs. For bedrooms, a rug that extends around the bed adds luxury.
Material choices include natural wool for warmth, cotton for lightness and easy cleaning, or eco-friendly jute for earthy charm, ideal for Indian climates. Synthetic options resist stains and suit high-traffic zones.
Design should harmonize: vibrant patterns enliven neutral rooms, while soft tones calm busy décor. Indian dhurries and handwoven carpets bring artisanal value. Always use a rug pad for safety and longevity.
