Area Rugs and Carpets

An area rug is the piece that turns a floor plan into a room: it draws the furniture together and decides where the space begins. The Linen Chest rugs collection covers wool weaves, tufted textures and printed patterns, in beige, ivory, grey and charcoal.

Sizing an area rug properly

The most common mistake is buying small. An area rug should reach under the front legs of every major piece it serves, so the furniture sits on the rug's territory rather than beside it. Measure the seating footprint first and buy the rug that contains it; the room will instantly look more deliberate. Leave an even border of bare floor around the edges, roughly the width of a hand span on every side, and the rug reads as placed rather than dropped.

Materials underfoot

Wool is the benchmark: springy, sound-absorbing and forgiving of traffic. Tufted constructions add plush depth, striped and printed rugs carry pattern so the walls don't have to, and a runner handles the hallways between rooms. Indoor rugs in memory foam blends add cushioning where you stand the longest.

Rugs, carpets and the layered floor

Carpets and rugs work in layers: a large neutral base with an accent rug over it gives depth a single piece cannot. Anchor the palette to what already exists, then let lamps & lighting warm the texture after dark and mirrors & wall art repeat the rug's tones at eye level.
