What is the area for which you are buying the rug

The first thing to consider while buying a rug is the area for which the rug is going to be used. There are different rugs and carpets for different parts of a house. Each section needs different type of rug. The most common rugs and carpets are best suited for living rooms and bedrooms. If the room has direct access to outside, sees heavy traffic and also has kids and pets playing then a carpet or rug which is designed especially to be stain, dust and dirt resistant is best. Also choosing a rug or carpet with deep color for such area is important because keeping it clean is going to be an uphill task. A rug having high pile should be avoided for heavy traffic area because it may cause people to trip over. Again such rugs maybe great for your bedroom as it will give warmth and coziness to the room. Small rooms can be given a bigger feel by carpets with light colors and a big room can be given a comforting and close feel with carpets having semi dark to dark hues.

Rug padding
