How to choose and place a large rug?

Large rugs are essential elements for creating cozy and luxurious spaces. Choosing the right size of a rug can completely transform a room, not only in terms of aesthetics, but also in terms of functionality. In Mexico, large rugs are in trend, especially in luxury interiors, where adding a touch of sophistication and comfort is much more important.

And although it may not seem necessary, sometimes a large rug or one that takes up the entire size of the room can provide a much more comfortable environment and allow for a uniform design and style.

Why choose a large mat?

Have a large rug for the living room, dining room, lounge, waiting room, or any other room that you want to decorate elegantly, maintaining a unique style and without worrying so much about the material and functionality of each rug being the same.

Advantages of Using a Large Mat:

• Furniture Unification: A large rug can help you unify different pieces of furniture, creating a cohesive and organized look in the room.
• Creating defined areas: In open spaces, a large rug can help you define specific areas, such as the living room or dining room, thereby indicating the boundaries of the zone.
• Provide warmth and comfort: Large rugs can add a layer of comfort underfoot, making any space feel more welcoming. If you decide to use wool rugs, you can even provide warmth and softness to your feet. It is a very useful option for bedrooms and for those cold or temperate environments.
• Improve acoustics: mats, like many other elements, can help you absorb sound or noise from the room, reducing echo and improving the acoustics of the room.
• Adding texture: Having a large rug is a great way to add texture and visual depth to a space, without clashing or creating a direct impact on the aesthetics of the place, as it maintains a uniform style and not a bolder and more changing style.

Key places to place a large rug

It is important to identify the most important or most suitable places where you should install a large mat, among these places are:

• Living room: A large rug in the living room can help unify all the main pieces of furniture, such as the sofa, coffee table and armchairs. This will create a cosy and well-defined area.
• Dining Room: In the dining room, a large rug should be wide enough to accommodate the table and chairs, even when they are in use. Rugs that are easy to clean are ideal for this area, as it is prone to spills and stains.
• Master Bedroom: A large rug under the bed frames the space and adds a touch of luxury to the room. It is important that the rug protrudes enough from the sides of the bed to create visual balance. This not only improves the aesthetics, but also provides a soft surface to step on when getting up. Wool rugs are the best options for these environments.
• TV or Family Room: In spaces where comfort is sought, such as the TV or family room, large rugs create a cozy environment ideal for families. Soft materials such as wool or sheepskin are perfect for these areas, helping to provide greater comfort.

How to choose the perfect size for your large rug?

To make a good choice, it is necessary to take into account different aspects in relation to the place where you want to place a mat. Below we will leave you a small guide that will help you choose the best large mat that suits your needs.

Guide to measuring and choosing the right size:

• Living Room: The rug you decide to use in this area should be large enough so that the front legs of all major furniture can rest on it.
• Dining room: you need to make sure that the mat is at least 60cm wider than the dining table on all sides, so that the chairs can remain on the mat at all times.
• Bedroom: When using a mat in this area, it should extend at least 60 or 90 cm beyond the edges of the bed.

Tips to avoid common mistakes:

• Don't choose a rug that's too small: a rug that's too small can make the room look disproportionate. And depending on the location, it can even cause an accident.
• Avoid covering the entire floor: A rug that covers the entire floor can take away from the visual impact and make the space feel cluttered. It is important that the floor can also be detailed and thus create a great contrast between it and the rug.

Colours and materials: the finishing touch to your large rug

Complement the Room's Color Palette: The color and material of the rug should complement the existing color palette in the room. For modern spaces, neutral tones work well, while vibrant colors are ideal for more eclectic styles.

Popular combinations in Mexico:

• Neutral Tones: Perfect for contemporary and minimalist spaces.
• Vibrant Colors: Add a touch of energy and personality to the decor.
