What are area rug sizes?

When selecting an area rug size, consider the dimensions of your room and furniture placement. Here's a general guideline to help you choose:

• Living Room: An 8'x10' rug is a common size for living rooms. It allows enough space for your furniture to sit on the rug with approximately 10-20 inches of exposed floor around the edges.
• Dining Room: A 5'x7' rug is a good size for most dining room tables with four to six chairs.
• Bedroom: A variety of sizes can work well in bedrooms, depending on the size of the room and bed. A popular choice is an 8'x10' rug for a king-size bed, while a 5'x7' rug is suitable for a twin bed.
• Entryway: A runner rug, typically 2'x3' or 2'x4', adds a welcoming touch to your entryway.

How do I clean area rugs?

Cleaning an area rug depends on the material and construction. We recommend following the cleaning instructions provided by the rug manufacturer. Here are some general tips:

• Vacuum regularly: Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum to remove dust and debris from the rug's surface.
• Spot clean spills immediately: Blot spills with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the rug.

What material is best for area rugs?

The best material for your area rug depends on your lifestyle and the room where you'll place it. Here's a brief overview of some popular rug materials we offer at Slumberland Furniture:

• Wool: Soft, durable, and naturally stain-resistant, wool rugs are a great choice for high-traffic areas.
• Polypropylene: Stain and fade-resistant, these synthetic fibers are also soft and affordable. They are a popular selection for families with pets or children.
• Cotton: Cotton rugs offer a casual look and are easy to clean. They are perfect for low-traffic areas like bedrooms.
• Sisal: A natural fiber known for its rich texture, sisal rugs add a touch of organic beauty to any room. However, sisal can be rough on bare feet.

What are the different area rug styles?

Here are some popular options to consider:

• Traditional: Featuring intricate patterns and rich colors, traditional rugs like orientals add timeless elegance to your space.
• Contemporary: Bold geometric designs and a focus on clean lines define contemporary rugs.
• Transitional: Bridging the gap between traditional and contemporary, transitional rugs offer timeless style with a modern twist.
• Modern: Often featuring abstract patterns and neutral tones, modern rugs add a touch of sophistication to your space.

Are rug pads necessary?

While rug pads aren't mandatory, they are a worthwhile investment to protect your floors and maximize the life of your area rug. They offer several benefits:

• Prevent slipping: A rug pad helps create friction between the rug and the floor surface. This reduces the risk of slips and falls, especially on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile.
• Protect your floors: Rug pads can help absorb impact. They prevent scratches and dents on your hardwood floors caused by foot traffic or furniture moving on the rug.
• Increase rug life: Rug pads help distribute the weight of furniture placed on the rug more evenly. This prevents pile flattening and extends the lifespan of your rug.
• Provide extra comfort: Some rug pads offer more cushioning, creating a softer and more comfortable feel underfoot.
