Guidance for using a wool rug to refresh your space

Do rugs make a room look better?

A well-chosen rug has the power to instantly transform a space. It’s a cohesive element that ties everything together.

The natural benefits of Bremworth’s NZ wool rugs help you enhance your interior with a surface that’s durable, easy to clean, and hypoallergenic. Use our guides or book your free consultation to find your match.

How can a rug change a room?

Adding a rug has a profound impact on a living space. Bremworth 100% NZ wool rugs bring both style and practical benefits:

  • Not only is wool hard-wearing and luxurious underfoot, but it is also hypoallergenic, stain-resistant, and fire-resistant and helps to create a warm, dry, and healthy home.
  • Instantly transform the aesthetics of a room, accentuating other features such as artwork, decor or a beautiful outdoor view
  • Improve acoustics.

There are many things to consider when transforming a room with a rug— these guides can help:

What colour rugs brighten up a room?

Lighter shades such as muted creams, cool greys, or gentle pastels make a floor area appear larger than its true dimensions. They reflect light, making a room feel more open, airy and brighter.

Conversely, a bold hue, pattern or texture can bring a splash of vibrancy and make a design statement.

Read our guide to colour and style.

Can a rug make a room warmer?

One of the benefits of a quality 100% NZ wool rug is its exceptional insulating properties.

Rugs can also reduce drafts through floorboards and create a feel of warmth underfoot, which will contribute to overall comfort.

If insulation is key, consider a larger rug over a smaller size.
