Using An Area Rug Set In A Home

By Tiffany Gill


Rugs are an attractive accessory to use in a home and they can bring a touch of color and style to a room. In many cases they are sold separately, but this is not always the case. An area rug set includes a few rugs of different sizes and styles, and this can help to bring a coordinated look to a property.

A three rug set is a common option available with the pieces included in this coming in different shapes and sizes. The standard combination is a small mat teamed with a longer, thinner runner rug and a larger area rug in a square, rectangular or circular shape. The different rugs can be used in various locations, with the aim of creating a coordinated and stylish design.

Another type of rug set has two pieces. These typically comprise a smaller mat style and a longer runner style. This is ideal to provide some protection to the floor at a front door and hallway location although can also be used at the entrance to a room.

Rug sets will typically have all the pieces produced in exactly the same color or pattern. This helps to create a matching style that flows from one area of a home to another. The huge selection of styles available mean that finding a suitable look to match the other decor in a home should not be difficult.

There are a few different fabrics that can be used to produce the rugs in a set. Natural materials that are typically used include wool, silk and cotton. Rugs are also produced in man-made material, with some of the common options including nylon, polypropylene and acrylic.

Most people look at rugs for indoor use in their home although this is not the only place that sets can be used. Rugs made of natural grass fibers can cope with a harsher outdoor environment. This means that a set can be placed in the outside locations of a home to give them a more attractive finish.

Safety is an issue with rugs, especially if they are place on a hard surface floor. In this case they may cause a slip and it is sensible to try and prevent this. When laying the pieces in a set use rug pads or rug tape, which are designed to hold them securely in place. Rug pads in particular can be a good choice as they provide a supportive underlay that reduce wear and extend this life of a rug.

While rugs are generally durable there are ways in which to give them a longer life. Regularly clearing them of dirt is as simple as vacuuming both sides. They can also be taken outside to shake or beat the dirt from them. Wet spills can cause stains although if they are cleaned immediately it should be possible to remove them. To keep the color of rugs from fading try not to place them in locations that receive direct sunlight.

There are plenty of places to look for an area rug set. A local carpet store is an obvious place to find them, but they can also be found in big-box retailers. Home improvement stores are another option and these will typically have a selection available.
