Welcome to our collection of living room rugs. Any rug can be used in a living room. However, the function of the rug should be considered to help you decide what kind of rug will be suitable for your living room. To help you decide which rug will suit your living room, we have listed some common questions & answers regarding living room rugs.

We also stock outdoor rugs & kitchen rugs.

How do I choose the right size rug for my living room?

Living room rug placement is an important part of buying rugs online.

When choosing the right size rug for your living room, consider the dimensions of the room, the furniture layout, and your style preferences.

Mark out your desired rug size with masking tape to understand what size will be suitable.

A large living room will typically require a large living room rug.

What are the best rug materials for a living room?

The best rug materials for a living room depend on the desired features. For ease of maintenance, a non-shed, low pile, easy vacuum & stain-resistant rug could be most suitable, such as our low pile polypropylene rugs. If natural texture & natural air humidifying are of the essence, then a natural fibre rug could be the best rug material for your living room. Each material & rug construction has its own features. We include product features on our product pages to help you decide the best rug material for your living room.

How do I match a rug with my living room decor?

To match a rug with your living room decor, create a mood board to help visualise how different colours, tones, textures, patterns, designs & styles of rugs will match your living room decor.

How do I choose a rug for a living area?

To choose a rug for your living room area, first consider what are the main activities being performed as well as the climate in your living area. Neutral colour schemes can promote a calm environment, whilst pops of colour can bring energy to the space. If it is a cold environment, you may consider a thick wool rug to help keep the space warm. If the living room is prone to spills & needs to be regularly vacuumed, you may consider a short pile synthetic rug. For a coastal vibe, you may consider a jute rug.

Can I layer rugs in my living room?

Yes, you can layer rugs in your living room. You will need to consider size, design & material. When choosing which rugs to layer, place both rug images next to each other to see if the designs fit well together. Research what rug material & rug size is suitable for your living room. Be careful not to try and place a rug on top of a shag rug, as this can feel too squishy.

How do I maintain a rug in the living room?

To maintain a rug in the living room, remove shoes before use, follow care instructions & rotate the rug every few months. Changing the position & floor coverage of the rug will expose the floor to natural oils, which will help maintain the condition of your floors & rug. This will also allow the rug to wear more evenly, as the rug will be exposed to different traffic volumes.

What shapes of rugs are available for living rooms?

At Lost Design Society, we offer the following shaped rugs for the living room: round rugs, oval rugs & rectangle area rugs.

Are there eco-friendly rugs suitable for living rooms?

Yes, our natural fibre rugs are eco-friendly and suitable for living rooms.

What should I consider about living room rug pile and texture?

It is important to understand the function of a rug’s pile & texture. A short pile rug has lower maintenance than a thicker pile rug, as it is easy to vacuum & spills can often sit on top of a short pile rug. A natural fibre-textured rug can provide an earthy feel, which some customers describe as a refreshing feeling, like a foot massage. The texture of a shag pile rug is more difficult to clean, as it can be difficult to vacuum compared to a shorter piled rug. Some customers like the distinct look of a shag pile living room rug.

Should living room & dining room rugs match?

Rugs in different rooms do not need to be the exact same rugs as each other. If, for example, you have an open plan dining & living area, many interior stylists will advise that your dining room rug & living room rug should not be the exact same rug.

The rugs can be from the same colour family, whether that is, for example, warm, earthy colours or cool colours. 

We also have rugs for kids rooms, rugs for babys room, bedroom rugs & hallway rugs.
