Choosing a Rug: Colour, Pattern & Product Details

Start with the pieces that will stay in your room: your flooring, sofa, curtains and main wood finishes. A rug can repeat those colours or introduce a deliberate contrast.

Choose a pattern for your furniture

For a room with patterned upholstery, try a quieter rug and compare the overall effect. If your furniture is simple, a medallion, border or abstract pattern can become a focal point. Look at a full-rug view as well as close-ups: a detail image alone does not show the scale of the design.

Compare real product details

Read each listing’s material, construction and pile information rather than assuming all rugs in a style category are made the same way. A Persian-style pattern does not by itself mean a rug is handmade. Check whether the listing describes a machine-woven product, and ask us about any specification that is unclear.

Reed and density figures appear on some of our machine-woven rug listings. Compare them alongside the stated yarn, construction, measurements and care instructions; do not treat one number as a complete description of a rug.

Check colour and fit

Room lighting and screens can affect how a colour appears. Compare full views and close-ups, then see the rug in person where possible. Use our rug size guide to plan the footprint before ordering.

Explore the range

Compare the Isfahan Light Grey with the Golrokh Blue, or explore modern abstract and textured rugs. Rugs can be viewed at our Burnaby and Surrey showrooms. Contact us to confirm that your chosen rug is on display before travelling.
