Choosing the right colour can be quite a task, which is why we have written an extensive blog about how to choose a rug of the right colour.

What size rug do I need?

What size rug will best suit your interior depends on several factors. A rule of thumb for larger rooms is to place the legs of the furniture on the rug. That way, you create unity in your interior and all the furniture form an island together. This creates peace, atmosphere, and unity in your living room.

When placing the rug near the sofa, take the length of the sofa and add about 30 centimetres. That way, you make sure the rug is about 15 centimetres either side of the sofa. For a two-seater sofa, rugs of 140×200 cm or 160×230 cm are common options. Do you have a three-seater sofa? Then the most common sizes are 200×300 cm and 240×340 cm.

At Tapeso you will find rugs in a variety of sizes. From small sizes like 80×150 cm to large xxl sizes of 300×400 cm.

Shaggy rugs for a super warm surface

A shaggy rug is wonderfully soft and cuddly. It therefore creates an inviting feel. This is due to the synthetic polyester it is made of. The grains of this material are machine-melted into filaments. These filaments are eventually made into a yarn. You can weave these yarns and this is how they are eventually made into rugs.

They are so soft, it’s almost a shame to keep your shoes on on them. So a shaggy rug comes into its own under the dining table, for example, but also in the bedroom or children’s room.

Shaggy rug cleaning

A shaggy rug is easy to maintain. First, it is important to regularly beat the shaggy rug so that all crumbs fall out. Then you can vacuum the rug on a low setting. If you do this regularly (2-3 times a week), you will reduce the chances of stubborn stains in the rug. It is also advisable to apply stain protection to the rug. Treating the rug with the protective agent will create an invisible layer over the rug. This prevents stains from penetrating to the core of the synthetic fibre.

Did stains get into your shaggy carpet anyway? Fortunately, it is easy to clean with a special carpet cleaner. Spray the cleaner on the stain and let it soak in for a while. After this, you can gently pat the carpet dry with a dry, white cloth.

This special cleaner contains no bleach, so you can use it with confidence on different colours and materials of high-pile carpets. So, all in all, you can clean a shaggy rug very well, as long as you have the right cleaning products at home.
