Large living room rugs such as area rugs, are an absolute great choice for your living space. Do you have a large amount of floor space that needs covering but without the use of furniture? Well, we would suggest choosing an Area rug. This is due to the fact that oversized rugs for the living room take up a large amount of the floor space, providing comfort and also insulation to your home.

Shaggy and Wool rugs will be sure to add a cosy underfoot to your living room, providing your space with a relaxing and calming atmosphere. Wool rugs are also naturally 30% more stain resistant than even the best synthetic fibres so placing a wool rug in an area like the living room would be an amazing idea!
