Do you find yourself freezing in the winter?
No matter how many layers of clothes you wear, you’re still chilled to the bone?
Placing rugs throughout your home is a great way to stay warm.
Follow Tufenkian’s tips on making your space cozier as the weather turns colder.
Best Material to Choose
Wool is the best choice for a winter rug because the material acts as an insulator. The natural fibers keep your floor warm and your feet toasty. You get a soft, plush, luxurious feel as well as durability. You don’t have to worry about hot chocolate spills or other messes because wool is stain-resistant.
Perfect Places to Put Rugs
You should place your rugs where you need warmth the most. An area rug under the bed or smaller rugs along the sides will ensure your feet don’t get a bitter wake-up call in the morning. A cozy rug in the bathroom helps ease the shock of cold air when you come out of the shower.
Runners in the hallway and kitchen can keep your feet warm as you travel from one room to another or spend time cooking a meal. With all the time you spend in your living room, it makes sense to have a cozy rug blanketing the space.
Options for Layering
Layering rugs in the winter can create a more comfortable atmosphere. You can mix the textures of the rugs as long as you stay within the same color scheme for cohesion. Likewise, you can play with different colors of rugs if you stick to similar textures for consistency. You can even give the illusion of different textures—if you don’t like stepping on contrasting surfaces—by combining patterns.
Other Things to Consider
Choosing dark-colored rugs can add depth to your space, especially if your décor is light-colored. High pile rugs absorb cold air, so try a high pile carpet to add comfort and maintain texture. Rug pads do more than just keep rugs in place—they offer extra insulation by adding a layer between your feet and the floor.
