What you need to know before buying a rug Online
Studies show 75% of rugs are purchased online. It can be a bit scary ordering large pieces online and not seeing it. Only order from online stores with AMAZING return policies. Your personal taste is very important when choosing a rug. You will be the one who is going to be living with it, so think if your style is tribal, traditional or modern. But before you even think about the look of the rug, you must think about the function of the rug. Is this a high traffic area? Will this rug get spilled on? Will kids be laying on this rug? therefore, it needs to be soft? Think about how you will use the rug in your everyday life before you choose. When you measure your rooms length & width, do not forget your furniture. Only measure the floor area you want to cover, not the measurement from wall to wall.
