Carpets

Rugs bring softness, style and clarity to your home

A rug sets the mood of a room, defines the seating area and improves acoustics. Whether it's a large living room, a long hallway or a soft morning step in the bedroom. In a small space, a rug brings the furniture together into one peaceful whole, while in a spacious living room, a generously sized wool rug ties the sofa, armchairs and coffee table together. The Kaluste Duo rug collection offers a wide range of colours, sizes and materials, including both Easy Care rugs designed for everyday use and traditional oriental patterns, delivered to your door.

Carpet materials and surfaces

Different spaces have different requirements for carpet. Below is a quick guide to the most popular options and their strengths.

Wool rugs - natural warmth and durability

A wool rug is a classic that naturally repels dirt and effectively absorbs sound. It is especially suitable for living rooms and dining rooms, as wool recovers from small indentations and remains upright year after year. The soft fiber of wool also makes it pleasant to walk on in the bedroom.

Viscose carpets - soft shine and sophisticated look

Viscose's silky surface reflects light beautifully and adds a luxurious touch to your interior. Viscose rugs work great in low-traffic areas, such as reading nooks and bedrooms, where the velvety feel of the rug really comes into its own. If you have pets or spilled drinks, consider smooth-surface or Easy Care materials.

Embossed and smooth-surfaced carpets - easy-care everyday heroes

A textured rug adds depth to the surface and brings life to monochromatic furnishings, whilea plain rug is a minimalist choice that highlights color and shape. Both are easy to maintain: regular vacuuming and a quick spot cleaning are enough to keep the look neat.

Pile-surfaced carpets - plushness for your feet

The thick pile makes the living area inviting and hides the small traces of everyday life.The pile rug is especially comfortable under the sofa group and in the bedroom, where it softly welcomes you at the start of the day.

Easy Care carpets - effortless care

Easy Care materials are made to withstand everyday spills and heavy use. They dry quickly and are easy to wipe clean, making them suitable for hallways, kitchens and the busiest spaces in a family with children.

Oriental carpets - patterns that tell a story

Traditional patterns and richly toned surfaces bring warmth and personality to your home. An oriental rug works as a great eye-catcher in the living room and dining area, but also as a cushioning solution in the hallway when you want extra softness underfoot.

Size and dimensioning - how to choose the right carpet

In the living room, successful sizing is immediately visible: the edge of the rug should reach at least under the front legs of the sofa , and it is worth leaving 20-30 cm of bare floor around the seating area so that the boundary of the space feels clear. When choosing a rug under the dining table, add to the dimensions the amount of the chairs that can be pulled out - about 60-70 cm from the edge of the table in each direction, so that the chairs can move smoothly. For a hallway rug, a width of 60-80 cm works in many hallways; the length is chosen so that the rug leaves a little floor visible at the ends. In the bedroom, two narrow hallway rugs on both sides of the bed or one wide rug under the bed create a velvety start to the day.

Care and maintenance - long-term use is the reward of everyday life

Vacuum your carpets regularly and remove stains quickly with a mild detergent. Wool carpets need to be aired out occasionally, while viscose and pile models benefit from gentle handling to protect the fibers. It is a good idea to add an underlay under slippery surfaces, as it will extend the life of the carpet, protect the floor and improve safety.

Carpets in interior design

Start with the largest surface in the room, the floor, and choose the shade of your rug based on what you want to emphasize. Natural, warm tones work with wooden furniture and calm a busy interior, while a bold color or strong pattern can elevate a sofa group or bed into a striking centerpiece.

In a small living room, a round or short-pile rug will keep the space airy; in a long room, use a larger, rectangular pattern that brings elements together. Add layers with lighting and textiles: a floor lamp, sofa cushions and curtains will echo the color scheme of the rug and make the interior feel thoughtful.

FAQ - most common questions about carpets

Which carpet is best for the living room?

Choose a wool or pile rug if you're looking for softness and improved acoustics. A smooth-surface model works when you want easy cleaning and a modern look.

How do I choose the right size?

In the living room, the rug should extend at least under the front legs of the sofa. Under the dining table, add 60-70 cm to the dimensions to allow for the movement of the chairs in each direction. The width of a hallway rug is typically 60-80 cm.

Is a viscose carpet suitable for a pet home?

Viscose is a soft and beautiful material, but more sensitive to stains and claws. For pet homes, we recommend smooth-surfaced or Easy Care models, which are quick to clean.

How do I prevent the carpet from slipping?

Use an underlay, especially on parquet and laminate floors. It improves safety, protects the floor surface and straightens the edges of the carpet.
