HOW TO CHOOSE

Four steps for a better decision

Make a better decision by combining images with verified details and practical needs.

01

1. Measure the room before shopping

Map your seating, wall clearances and walkways. Compare the rug shown in product photos against its actual dimensions.

02

2. Compare weave and materials

Look beyond the generic weave name. Review fibers, density, finishing and condition. Consider maintenance needs in busy rooms.

03

3. Judge colors in your own lighting

Colors can change between daylight and lamps. Pair quieter rugs with busy furniture, or detailed patterns with simple interiors.

04

4. Verify all specifications before purchase

Confirm dimensions, condition, shipping, returns and the final cost with up-to-date store data rather than images alone.

HELP / ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common pre-purchase questions

How do I choose the right rug size?

Measure your furniture layout first. In many living rooms, the front legs of the seating can rest on the rug; keep walkways unobstructed.

What differs between hand-knotted and machine-made rugs?

The weaving process differs. Compare fibers, construction, density, finishing and care needs for each individual rug instead of relying on images alone.

How should rug colors work with my room?

Repeat one rug color in a cushion or accent piece. Check the palette in natural and artificial light and balance detailed rugs with simpler furniture.
