Your living space is not complete without a rug. Today, with a flood of options out there, finding a rug that gels well within your spaces can seem like a tough task. Here’s where we step in. Nykaa Fashion has an exclusive range of rugs from its Home store that caters to all your homely needs.
Any interior designer would tell you that a rug brings together different elements of the room. But it’s important to not forget the striking effect the sheer size of the rug can have on the way a room looks and feels. The right rug that fits in, will stick around in your house for years, while the wrong one will be on its way out quickly.
Given that one can choose from a range of materials, colours, patterns and sizes available on our website from the Home category, here’s how you can choose one you like, while also flattering your living room at the same time.
There is no rule of thumb that you should have a single rug in your house. Sometimes, multiple rugs can liven up a room. Sprawling spaces often benefit from multiple rugs, which help ground the pace and pull it together. Secondly, pick a size that either covers the walking space completely or leaves some space exposed for people to pass by.
Step 1: Find the measurement for the rug
Measure the dimensions of the empty space thoroughly. This is important in deciding what size of rug you need to buy. There are multiple ways in which you can position your rug in a living room:
Furniture doesn’t touch the rug
Front Legs of Furniture on the rug
All legs of the furniture on the rug
Furniture doesn’t touch the rug
Front Legs of Furniture on the rug
All legs of the furniture on the rug
Once you’re certain about the arrangement, measure the dimensions and note them down.
Step 2: Choosing the right material
It would be a surprise to know that rugs come in a variety of materials. From natural to synthetic, there is so much out there you can choose from today. Rugs come in a number of natural and synthetic materials. It is important to know a little about them to make the right choice for your space when you are buying rugs online. From stain-resistant wool, long-lasting cotton to feather-soft silks.
Step 3: Choose the right construction
The construction of the rug varies across the board and is decided by its place of origin. There are three main construction types, these include:
Hand-knotted rugs
These are made by skilled weavers, a hand-knotted rug is unique, in the sense, knot by knot is created on a loom often using materials like silk, wool, bamboo silk, and cotton. These rugs have a flatter pile and the density of knots per square inch at the back of the carpet defines its quality.

Hand-tufted rugs
A hand-tufted rug starts from a canvas stretched on a frame, a tufting tool is used to punch strands of yarn into the canvas with the design traced on it. The process is not as intensive or time-consuming as that of a hand-knotted carpet.

Flatweave rugs
Flatweaves are constructed without including any knots at all. The parallel running fibres make up the whole surface of the rug.
