the Rug Buying Guide
An essential design element, finding the perfect rug is easy when you keep these considerations in mind:
Size
A large rug can make any room feel bigger. See our guides below tofind the right size for your room.
Material
Consider materials that stand up to foot traffic (like natural fibers) and life’s little spills (like easy-care performance rugs).
Style
Choose a style that complements your decor—from timeless hand-knotted rugs to contemporary patterned designs.
Outdoor Rugs
Creating an inviting outdoor living space is all about bringing indoor comforts outside. Indoor/outdoor rugs in high-performance materials are made to weather the elements, resisting moisture, mildew,fading, and stains. (Best of all, they’re incredibly easy to clean.)
Good By Design: Many of our outdoor rugs are woven of recycled polyester fibers sourced from single-use plastic bottles;repurposing thousands of plastic bottles that may have otherwise ended up in a landfill.
