Discover Gorgeous Chandra Area Rugs

FIND THE RIGHT WOOL AREA RUG TO DEFINE YOUR HOME

A beautiful area rug has the potential to transform how a room in your home is laid out without needing to move furniture around or change the type of flooring you have. For properties that benefit from the spaciousness of open-plan living, Chandra wool rugs can be laid strategically to separate formal seating areas from dining spaces, and other areas that tend to blend in due to the lack of walls or other visual separators. A large room can benefit from two or more rugs to partition the areas effectively, with either the same pattern to create similar but distinctive areas, or completely different designs and sizes to create a visual separation. If you’re looking for an area rug for a smaller room in your home, such as a dining room to protect the hardwood floor underneath, or even for a bedroom, it can provide a useful feature in the centre that your furniture can be organised around. One of the most popular options that works well in homes that run along straight lines, such as sofas and beds, is rectangular rugs. If you want a softer shape that breaks up those straight lines which can dominate architecturally, then opt for a round rug to provide visual contrast. For rooms with pre-planned proportions, square formats can be used to place the furniture on top of, or have the sofas and chairs around the outside with the dining room table or coffee table in the middle. This central point is aesthetically pleasing, so no matter whether you want to use your wool rug to complement existing furniture, or are pursuing a stronger geometric design which brings purpose to the space, Chandra rugs are a key part of our carpet, rug, and flooring collection. 

BRING SOFT AND NATURAL TEXTURES TO HARD FLOORING

Both hardwood flooring and stone tiles have a unique charm that can’t be replicated, and we stock thousands of varieties here at Stone & Tile as they are more popular than ever. However, for many homes, a large wool area rug is the perfect addition to a harder floor, not only to provide a visual softness to the area, but a physical one too. In a room that’s finished with a hard surface, adding a wool rug adds texture underfoot, and when positioned in a main living space or bedroom, it’s an extra place where you can sit or lay in comfort, especially when playing with young children. The natural character and charm of the timber or tile floor can remain, but the rug introduces new textures, colors, and patterns without detracting from it. If you have a light colored ceramic or porcelain floor, think about the degree of contrast you want, as many of the rugs in the Chandra collection are beige and cream which work best with greys and lighter tones. For darker floors of granite or other natural stone, then a light wool rug can create a defined outline, or you can keep the darker tone but just add a light contrast a few shades higher with a grey patterned rug. Geometric patterns help to promote the contrast especially if you have large-format tiles as it can bring a decorative design. In this collection, you can also mix and match the materials of the rugs, so if wool won’t suit your home consider jute rugs or viscose rugs to make your flooring interesting. 

USE COLOR AND PATTERN TO BRING COHESION

There’s more to choosing an area rug than simply matching it to the color of the floor because it occupies such a substantial area it needs to bring everything from the furniture and flooring to the accessories and fixtures together cohesively. These elements of a home may remain distinct, so it can be difficult to know exactly what kind of area rug will tie everything together, but with hundreds to choose from in the Chandra range you can find just what you’re looking for. We stock neutral wool rugs that can provide an air of calm and comfort in an otherwise busy space, or a colorful design that can bring fun into your living spaces. If you have a room that already has decorative wall tiles, try to find a pattern and color that picks up on certain accents in it to reflect that on the floor rather than choosing something that has identical patterns or colors. Warm tones in a rug complement wood flooring whether it’s light or dark, whereas grey and ivory shades are able to sit alongside contemporary tiles easily. Rugs that repeat a single color from the furniture or walls work best rather than trying to replicate complicated patterns. With straight lines of geometric shapes to the curves of different shaped bubbles of color within the rug, you can keep things coordinated without them trying to look forced with a full pattern. Don’t forget that texture can also bring a pattern of its own with it, especially with a wool rug that has a striped design on laminate flooring which has the same style.
