Trending Styles for 2025: What’s Hot in Australian Homes?
This year, Australian interiors are embracing a blend of comfort, sustainability, and practicality. Here are the top categories flying off our shelves:
-
Natural Jute & Sisal: Perfect for the "coastal boho" look popular in Sydney and Queensland homes. Our jute rugs are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and add incredible texture to neutral spaces. While they are durable, remember to vacuum them regularly (suction only!) to keep them looking fresh.
-
Machine Washable Rugs: A game-changer for busy families and pet owners. These pet-friendly rugs offer the style of a traditional pile with the ease of being tossed in the washing machine. They are ideal for high-traffic zones like kitchens, entryways, and playrooms.
-
Outdoor Rugs: With summer approaching, our range of recycled plastic outdoor rugs is in high demand. They are UV stabilized, water-resistant, and easy to hose down—perfect for your deck or patio BBQ area.
-
Modern & Abstract: For contemporary apartments, our modern rugs feature bold geometric patterns and warm, earthy palettes that are trending for 2025.
Rug Size Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Fit
One of the most common questions we get is, "What size rug do I need?" Choosing the right size is critical for balancing your room. A rug that is too small can make a room feel disjointed, while one that is too large can overwhelm it.
-
Living Room: The "Golden Rule" is to have at least the front legs of your sofa resting on the rug. For average-sized Australian living rooms (approx. 4m x 5m), a 240x330cm rug (approx 8x10ft) often works best. For larger open-plan spaces, consider an extra-large rug (300x400cm) to anchor the zone.
-
Dining Room: Ensure the rug extends at least 60-70cm beyond the table on all sides. This prevents chairs from catching on the edge of the rug when guests pull them out.
-
Bedroom: For a luxurious feel, place a large rug under the bottom two-thirds of the bed. Alternatively, place runner rugs on either side of the bed for a soft landing every morning.
Care & Maintenance: Keeping Your New Rug Fresh
Investing in a quality rug means you want it to last. Here are our top tips for rug care:
-
Vacuum Regularly: This prevents dirt from embedding deep into the fibers. For shag rugs and natural fibers like jute, use a low suction setting and avoid the beater bar to prevent fraying.
-
Spot Clean Immediately: Accidents happen! Blot (do not rub) spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. For wool rugs, use a specialized wool detergent. For our washable range, simply follow the machine instructions.
-
Use a Rug Pad: We highly recommend adding a non-slip rug pad to your order. It prevents slipping, adds extra cushioning underfoot, and extends the life of the rug by reducing friction against the floor.
