From jute to cotton, wool or synthetics, we’ve got the perfect rug for your study
Choosing the right size for your study rug is crucial to creating a balanced and functional workspace. Here's how to find the perfect rug size for your study.
Measuring your space
Start by measuring your study area, ensuring you leave around 60 centimetres of space between the rug's edge and the walls. This helps avoid a cramped feel and makes the room appear more spacious. If your rug touches the skirting boards, it’s likely too big and could make the room seem smaller.
Desk and furniture placement
The size of your desk and other furniture pieces greatly influences the ideal rug dimensions. Here are some guidelines:
- For a small desk, a rug measuring 170 x 120cm provides a cosy touch without overwhelming the space. A round rug is also a great choice for small spaces and can create a beautiful contrast with the rectangular shape of your desk.
- For medium-sized desks, aim for a rug around 230 x 160cm or 290 x 200cm, allowing for some exposed rug on either side of the desk.
- For large desks or multiple workstations, consider rugs such as 240 x 330cm or 300 x 400cm, ensuring the rug extends at least 30cm from the foot of the desk.
Remember to allow about 50cm of rug to extend from the desk's edges for a comfortable and functional workspace.
How to choose the right material for your study desk
A well-chosen rug can enhance your study's aesthetic, adding warmth, comfort and visual interest. While there are many different materials to choose from, the two main categories are natural fibre rugs and synthetic fibre rugs.
Natural fibres
Natural fibres bring timeless elegance and luxurious texture to your study. Known for its durability and softness, wool rugs are exceptionally durable, great insulators, and retain their shape over time.
Cotton is a lightweight and versatile choice. Cotton rugs are soft, sustainable and budget-friendly.
Eco-friendly and sustainable, jute rugs add warmth and texture to your space, being both biodegradable and highly durable.
Silk rugs offer a luxurious feel and stunning visual appeal, with incredibly soft fibres and hypoallergenic properties.
Synthetic rugs
Synthetic rugs are durable and easy to maintain, often at a more affordable price.
Polypropylene is a budget-friendly and low-maintenance option. These rugs are stain-resistant, durable, and available in many colours and patterns. Known for their excellent colour retention and softness, polyester rugs are fade-resistant, vibrant, and easy to clean.
When selecting a rug material, consider both comfort and durability. Wool offers plush comfort and is ideal for high-traffic areas. Cotton is softer but less durable and is suitable for low-to medium-traffic areas. Synthetic fibres provide remarkable comfort and durability, while jute and sisal offer unique, organic textures ideal for busy spaces.
No matter your material of choice, we’ve got a durable, affordable option for you.
How to clean your study rug
Regular maintenance keeps your study rug looking its best. Vacuum weekly, focusing on high-traffic areas and under furniture. Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth and use pH-neutral soap for small stains. Rotate your rug seasonally to ensure even wear and schedule professional cleaning annually.
Styling tips for your study rug
When adding a rug to your study, it’s important to choose a rug that complements your existing decor. Blend with your flooring for a unified look or choose a contrasting colour to add visual interest. Neutral tones provide versatility, while bold colours can make a dramatic impact.
Patterns can add personality to your study. Geometric patterns suit modern or minimalist styles, while floral designs add elegance to traditional spaces. Whether you choose floral or geometric, consider the scale of the pattern to ensure it balances well with your room's decor without pulling too much focus.
Texture affects both the look and feel of your study. A plush, high-pile rug adds comfort, while flat weaves or low-pile rugs offer a sleek, contemporary look. Layering rugs can add depth and define specific areas within your study.
