- Check the area where you want to place the rug – this is to give you an idea of the size of floor rug you require – write down measurements from the size needed to the maximum size that will fit in the space
- Acrylic, natural or nylon rugs are better suited for *high traffic* areas. If the area is a high traffic area choose a rug that is both durable and easy to clean, also select darker or earthy colours these won’t show the dirt as much
- The dimensions of the rug are also important – consider its location and use – is it just inside a door to catch dirt? Or is beside a bed? Rather than purchasing a standard *square* floor rug you can try other shapes such as a round rug
- Most floor rugs are suitable for tiled, wooden and lino flooring so you may need to buy a non-slip style rug, Floor rugs placed over carpet generally won’t require an anti-slip product
