Essential Guide to Buying a Large Area Rug

If you are thinking about carpeting a large room, consider getting a large area rug instead of laid down carpeting. A major advantage of having a large area rug instead of a solid piece of wall to wall carpeting is the ease of removal. If your large area rug suffers a spill, no problem, roll it up and send it for cleaning. However, if you're carpeting is fixed, you would probably have to pay a premium to get a professional cleaner in to do it for you.

Another key advantage is the flexibility to change the look of the room anytime you want. Either remove the large area rug completely, and show off a bare, polished floor, or simply purchase another similarly-sized large area rug to replace your old one. The added beauty of having a border of bare flooring framing your large area rug is often very attractive to many people.

If you lay carpeting down, it is very difficult, time consuming, and expensive to change the color or texture of the carpeting. In high traffic areas fixed carpeting will get dirty and worn out fairly quickly. A large area rug is the perfect solution to solve this problem. When the carpet gets worn out it is very easy to replace.

You can measure the size of large area rug you would require on your own, and this can be done quite easily and quickly. Simply measure the area of the room, and then determine the size of large area rug you would require by measuring off the border space you would like to have exposed.

If the large area rug you are considering is rounded or of a different shape than the typical square or rectangle, consider having the rug seller come in to take a look at your space and advise you of the suitability in having that particular rug laid in your room.

Deciding on a style or design for your large area rug can be somewhat difficult. Be sure to view as many different designs and color schemes before you decide what type of look you are aiming for. Take the opportunity to feel the different textures of the large area rug that has caught your fancy, and consider carefully the cost of up keeping or maintaining the large area rug.
