Rugs & Textiles

From washable weaves and natural jutes to heirloom-feel wool and layered throws — the textiles that set a room's temperature underfoot and everywhere else.

Textiles affect how a room feels, sounds, and works day to day. Start with the dimensions and maintenance needs of the room, then compare fiber, construction, backing, pile, and care instructions.

A useful place to begin

  • Map furniture footprints, paths, door swings, and clearances.
  • Compare more than one rug outline in the room before choosing.
  • Read the exact care label and ask whether the rug needs a separate pad.
  • Check finished dimensions, return terms, and backing details for the specific item.

Our current starting guide shows a measurement-first approach to living-room rug size.
