Underlay that *grips* your area rug is a very popular choice, this type of underlay is thin and is great when used under a thick area rug such as a shaggy rug and will keep your rug in place. It is also the perfect choice for high traffic areas, you certainly don’t want any floor rug moving around and becoming a hazard, you also don’t need to be bending over and straightening your rug, smoothing it out every time someone steps on it.
You also need to consider what type or style of area rug you want to use in the different rooms in your house – from the bedroom to the lounge room what are your decorating plans? For a family or larger room one very large area rug could be the right choice. If your one large room is a combined room – I.e. dinning and lounge room then the use of smaller rugs will help define each room area and function.
The material of the rug should also be taken into consideration, for high traffic areas consider a hard wearing but easy to clean area rug. Don’t use a sisal rug or sea grass rug near a doorway as water damage – wet shoes, or rain spots can damage the fibers allowing them to expand which can ruin your rug.
