Whether you're moving into a new apartment or a new house (congratulations!), you'll most likely be looking for a rug or two to put down in your new space. We know—rugs come in a dizzying array of styles, colors, materials, and sizes, making it difficult to determine which one will be the best fit for your space and lifestyle. So we're here to help with this handy guide that answers frequently asked questions about how to buy Moroccan rugs for your new home.
What Rooms Should I Start with Rugs?
Absolutely! Carpet is installed in many homes, and we see this all the time. We like it as a low-cost solution to cover up existing carpet that you don't like, or as a quick fix to cover carpet that you know, you'll eventually want to replace. To keep the rug in place, we recommend using carpet tape. Rugs will lie smoother on a carpet with a lower pile, though it also works on medium-pile carpets.
A Rug Pad is a Necessity
Every rug, from the largest to the smallest size, from those with furniture on top to those with nothing on top, requires a rug pad. Rug pads are essential for two reasons: they protect your rug as well as your floors from heavy furniture and foot traffic, and they keep rugs securely in place.
