Tips for choosing a rug

Things to keep in mind when going to the shop

To help you find the perfect rug at Layout, we have compiled a list of things you should prepare before coming to the store.

Know your favorite interior style

When choosing a rug, the first thing you should do is imagine as many things as possible about the kind of lifestyle you want to achieve and the things you value in life. Magazine clippings, images you find on the internet, your current room, your favorite clothes, music, movies... A wide variety of information can help you choose a rug.

Once you have a good idea of ​​what your future life will be like, your first preparations are complete.

Know your room

Once you have decided on the image of your interior, gather information that will help you choose a rug. Note down the colors and materials of the items you currently have, as well as the sizes of the items you will place in the room and around the rug, to help you choose a rug. Don't forget to note the leg positions, especially for items such as tables and sofas, where the size and leg positions of the items vary. Now you're ready to go.
