The Art of Selecting the Perfect Rug

The Art of Selecting the Perfect Rug

Crafted by skilled artisans, our rugs are meticulously designed to anchor your interiors – both visually and spatially. The right rug defines a room, offering balance, warmth and refinement. Whether you're adding texture to an open plan living area or styling a floor runner in your hallway, it’s important to consider proportion, placement and aesthetic. With a variety of shapes and sizes, the Coco Republic collection has been expertly curated to offer a stylish solution for any space – helping you create a cohesive foundation from the ground up. 

For the Living Room 

Adding a rug to your living room is a stress-free way to define the space, adding warmth, colour and texture. Choose a piece large enough to accommodate all seating, or at minimum, allow the front legs of your sofa and armchairs to rest on it. This creates cohesion and flow, while helping to frame your room.  

 

Consider the Isidore Rug, a timeless rectangular design available in generous proportions and versatile shades – ranging from soft neutrals to more defined statement tones.

For the Dining Room 

Rugs in dining spaces are an elegant touch, but when selecting, make sure to keep practicality front of mind. A low pile is best suited for this area as it’s easiest to clean and allows for effortless movement of furniture. The ideal rug will extend beyond the table, allowing chairs to remain comfortably on the rug when pulled out. This avoids awkward edges and protects your floors. Choose from classic rectangular or circular shapes depending on your layout. 

 

Crafted from durable 100% PET fibre, the Mornington Rug brings effortless style to dining zones – and you don’t need to worry about spillages thanks to its easy-clean, stain-resistant nature. Available in three calming colours, its laid-back texture suits both indoor and outdoor entertaining.  

For the Bedroom 

Getting out of bed in the morning is hard enough, but stepping onto a cold wooden floor doesn’t make it any easier. The solution? A warm, cosy rug placed beneath your bed. It should be large enough to sit beneath the entire bed frame and bedside tables, with a border of exposed flooring to enhance the room’s symmetry. Alternatively, you could opt for a smaller rug next to the bed – but ensure it has an anti-slip underlay, so it stays firmly in place.  

 
Handcrafted on a loom and made from 100% wool, the Montero Rug offers a soft, comfortable feel underfoot – making it an ideal choice for the bedroom.  

For the Hallway 

A hallway runner softens the transition between rooms, offering a layered, finished look while protecting floors in high-traffic areas. Your runner should be a little shorter than the length of your hallway and centred to give the space some breathing room.  

 

The Rhodes Floor Runner, handwoven in a flatweave style with a fringe edge, elevates even the simplest of passageways. Plus, its durable materials and expert construction ensure it’ll stand the test of time, even in high-traffic areas.
