Carpets

Rugs bring softness, style, and clarity to the home.

A rug defines the atmosphere of a room, delineates a seating area, and improves acoustics. This applies to any room, from a large living room to a long hallway or the soft first steps of a bedroom in the morning. In a small space, a rug brings the furniture together into a calm whole, while in a spacious living room, a generously sized wool rug unites the sofa, armchairs, and coffee table. The Kaluste Duo rug collection offers a wide range of colors, sizes, and materials, including practical Easy Care options for everyday use and traditional oriental patterns, all delivered to your door.

Materials and surfaces of carpets

Different spaces have different requirements for carpets. 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 dampens sound. It is particularly well-suited for the living room and dining area, as wool recovers from minor indentations and remains shapely year after year. The soft fiber of wool also makes stepping in the bedroom pleasant.

Viscose rugs - soft sheen and sophisticated look.

The silky surface of viscose reflects light beautifully and brings luxury to the interior. It works wonderfully in low-traffic areas, such as reading corners and bedrooms, where the velvety feel of the rug comes into its own. If you have pets or frequently spilled drinks at home, consider smooth-surfaced or Easy Care materials.

Embossed and smooth-surfaced rugs - easy-care everyday heroes.

A textured rug adds depth to the surface and brings life to monochrome furniture, while a smooth rug is a minimalist choice that emphasizes color and shape. Both are easy to maintain: regular vacuuming and quick spot cleaning are enough to keep them looking neat.

Shaggy rugs - softness for your feet

The thick pile makes the living area inviting and hides the small marks of everyday life. A pile rug is especially comfortable under a sofa set and in the bedroom, where it offers a soft welcome at the start of the day.

Easy Care rugs - effortless maintenance

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 areas of families with children.

Oriental Rugs - Patterns That Tell a Story

Traditional patterns and richly textured surfaces bring warmth and personality to your home. An oriental rug serves as an excellent focal point in the living room and dining area, but also as a sound-dampening solution for hallways when you want more softness underfoot.

Size and dimensions - how to choose the right rug

In the living room, successful sizing is immediately apparent: the edge of the rug should ideally extend at least under the front legs of the sofa, and it's a good idea to leave 20-30 cm of bare floor around the seating area so that the boundary of the space feels clear. When choosing a rug for under the dining table, add the amount the chairs pull out to the measurements - about 60-70 cm from the outer edge of the table in each direction, so that the chairs move smoothly. In a hallway, a width of 60-80 cm works in many entrances; the length is chosen so that the rug leaves a little floor visible at the ends. In the bedroom, two narrow hallway rugs on either side of the bed or one large rug under the bed creates a velvety start to the day.

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

Vacuum rugs regularly and remove stains quickly with a mild detergent. Wool rugs need airing from time to time, while viscose and tufted rugs benefit from gentle handling to protect the fibers. It is advisable to add an underlay under slippery surfaces; it extends the life of the rug, protects the floor and improves safety.

Rugs in interior design.

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

In a small living room, a round or short-pile rug keeps the space airy; in a long room, use a larger, rectangular model that brings the elements together. Add layers with lighting and textiles: a floor lamp, sofa cushions, and curtains echo the rug's color scheme and make the interior design well-considered.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions about Rugs

Which rug is best suited for the living room?

Choose a wool rug or a shag rug if you're looking for softness and improved acoustics. A flatweave rug works well 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 in each direction to allow for chair movement. The width of a hallway rug is typically 60-80 cm.

Is a viscose rug suitable for a pet-friendly home?

Viscose is a soft and beautiful material, but more susceptible to stains and snags. For homes with pets, we recommend smooth-surfaced or Easy Care models that clean quickly.

How do I prevent the rug from slipping?

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