How to choose the right size Scandinavian rug
The right rug will frame the floor, centering your space into a clean and coherent whole. It’s often best to go large, so choose a Scandi rug that’s big enough – it’s all too easy to go for a rug that’s too small and miss out on the unity a well-chosen Scandi rug brings to a room. Here are a few more rug ideas and tips:
• In the dining area, the dining table and all chairs should all fit on your rug – the whole time.
• In the living room, the rug should ideally reach under the edge of the sofa.
• In the hallway, a runner rug should cover most of the length of the floor.
Large Scandinavian rugs can transform the look and feel of living rooms and dining areas, while our Scandinavian runner rugs work best in hallways and kitchens. In the bedroom, you can choose either a single large Scandi rug or place runner rugs on either side of the bed, depending on the size of the room and the height of the bed.
In terms of shape, a rectangular rug works in almost any space, while our round Scandi rugs look great under a round table or to add interest in a room. Asymmetrical rugs also catch the eye by creating a focal point in a room.
How to choose the material of your Scandinavian rug
Many of the materials used in our Scandi rug collection are natural – cotton, wool, paper yarn, sisal and jute. You’ll also find synthetic materials including polyamide and plastic yarn. Choose the material of your rug according to the space where it’ll be placed: choose materials that can be cleaned easily in spaces prone to dirt, and strong materials for high-traffic spaces.
Wool rugs, shaggy rugs, Scandi berber rugs, high pile carpets and delicate materials are generally ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and lounge areas. Wool’s natural ability to resist stains makes it a practical and long-lasting choice. A good option for the kitchen, particularly for families with children, is an easily washable cotton rug or a plastic rug, as stains can often be just wiped away. Hardwearing jute and sisal rugs are particularly well suited for entryways or to achieve a rustic feel, and dirt-repellent paper yarn rugs are a natural and allergy-friendly choice for any room. For a patio or balcony, it’s best to choose a Scandinavian outdoor rug that’s built to withstand the weather, and for the bathroom, there’s nothing like a soft bath rug to sink your feet into.
How to select the style of my new Nordic rug
When it comes to choosing the style of your new Scandi rug or carpet, start by thinking about which rugs would best complement the current decor – think colors, materials and textures. Consider how the hues of the rug you love will match the colors of your floor and walls.
• Brightly colored or boldly patterned Scandi rugs are perfect for bringing energy and dynamism to a space, updating the whole vibe of a room – keep in mind that rich patterns often require some empty space around them.
• If you’re aiming for peace and serenity, black and white Scandi rugs or subtle palettes and patterns work well.
• A Scandinavian rug needn’t strictly match the colors and style of the decor – often, some contrast adds helps ground the look of a room.
• Black rugs add contrast and elegance to any space.
• White rugs bring a sense of lightness to your home.
• Grey rugs exude timeless and versatile charm.
• Blue rugs evoke images of the calming sea and sky.
• Green rugs bring life and vibrancy to the interior.
• Pink rugs infuse warm playfulness into your decor.
