The lights are softly twinkling, the scent of mulled wine dances happily round the room while the family giggles and roars at the cheesy, yet warmly nostalgic Christmas movie you’ve all watched one too many times. Christmas has arrived.
Your home feels warmer than usual; not just because it’s freezing outside and you’ve cranked the heating up, but because your christmas lights, wreath, baubles and decor all work seamlessly together to create an inviting, cosy Kukoon.
While natural, homemade wreaths adorned with ribbons and dried oranges are without doubt a wonderful way to bring a Winter Wonderland into your home; there is one key piece of styling that often gets overlooked. The rug.
Rugs are the missing piece to your Christmas decor jigsaw and our Top Rug Styling Tips will have your home looking 10/10 this Christmas.
1. Choose your TEXTURE
Close your eyes and imagine how you want your rug to feel - soft, fluffy, indulgent. Shaggy rugs are perfect for that Christmas warmth and we house a wonderful array of colours and designs to choose from.
Practically, the dense shaggy rug fibres are packed closely together meaning less air circulation and heat loss, allowing the rug to maintain a warmer surface temperature, keeping your room warmer for longer.
This is the perfect way to combine style, comfort and practicality to your Christmas decor. Check out our indulgent ‘Zia’ Shaggy collection, cloud like ‘Amore’ Collection, and cosy ‘Aspen’ Collection.
2. Consider your rug SHAPE & LOCATION
This may sound strange, all rugs are rectangular, right? Often yes, but not always. We have a range of unique circular rugs; perfect for underneath your Christmas tree. No more sore knees as you open your presents under the glow of your tree on Christmas morning!
While we’re talking about rug shape, I have a very unusual but TOP tip for you! Use one of our renuu Collection runner rugs on your Christmas table! Our renuu collection is made from recycled cotton, has non slip backing, is washable and liquid repellent - and did I mention just how beautiful these timeless, soulful designs are?
3. Consider COLOUR
What’s your style? Are you a Scandi/Nordic Christmas styler? Or maybe you prefer the loud colours of the nostalgic, maximalist vibe? Perhaps a traditional Christmas is a bit of you. When selecting a rug colour, take a step back and look at your room. What are the dominant colours you’re seeing? What colours are your cushions, your tree lights, your baubles? Simply, choose a rug that has hints of these tones and your rug will slot right into place.
