Think Rugs

Think Rugs for the living room

We stock large rugs by Think Rugs for living rooms, where a rug pulls the sofa, armchairs and coffee table together into a single seating area. Size is the first decision to settle. A rug that is too small looks lost in the middle of the floor, so measure your seating area and aim for a rug wide enough for at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs to rest on it.

Leave a border of bare floor around the edges so the room still feels open. If the sofa stands away from the wall, a large rug can sit fully beneath it and the chairs, giving the group a clear edge. In a room with a fireplace, centre the rug on the hearth so it frames the place people gather.

Think Rugs runners and bedroom rugs

We stock runners for hallways and landings, long and narrow so they follow the line of the floor and take the wear where feet fall. Measure the length of the hall and leave a strip of floor showing at either end, then make sure doors that open over the runner still clear it.

We stock rugs for the bedroom too, where a rug gives your feet somewhere warm to land first thing in the morning. A large rug can sit under the lower part of the bed and reach out at the sides, or you can lay a runner along the side of the bed instead. A smaller rug at the foot of the bed suits a compact room where the bed sits against a wall.

Shaggy or flatweave Think Rugs

The pile you choose decides how a rug feels underfoot and how much care it asks of you. We stock shaggy rugs with a deep pile that feels cosy under bare feet, a good choice for a bedroom or the space in front of the sofa. A deep pile can hold on to dust and crumbs, so it suits quieter rooms and regular vacuuming.

Flatweave rugs sit low and flat, so doors glide over them and chair legs slide back without catching. We stock flatweave designs for hallways and busy living rooms, and under a table they are easy to brush clean. A few of the rugs are faux fur, for a touch of extra warmth beside a favourite chair.

Colour and metallic detail in Think Rugs

We stock Think Rugs in cream, grey and beige, calm shades that let the furniture and walls take the lead. If the room needs more depth, we stock blue, green and brown designs that bring colour without overpowering it. A grey or beige rug is an easy answer for a rented home or a room you redecorate often, because it sits happily beside paint colours that come and go.

We also stock rugs with metallic detail, which adds a little shine to a plain room, along with designs in gold. Some of our designs are multicoloured, letting the rug carry the colour in a room. A few come in rust, which warms up a cool, quiet scheme.

What Think Rugs are made from

We stock Think Rugs in polyester, polypropylene and wool, and the fibre is worth a thought before you buy. Polyester and polypropylene are synthetic fibres that are easy to look after and take daily wear in their stride, so they make sense in a hallway or a busy living room.

Wool feels springy underfoot, holds warmth and recovers well from footsteps, a good fit for a living room or bedroom you want to feel snug. A few of our rugs are made from jute, a plant fibre with a dry, textured feel that suits a relaxed, informal room. Some use acrylic, which feels warm to the touch.

Washable and stain resistant Think Rugs

In a home with pets or plenty of comings and goings, the practical features matter as much as the colour. Our range includes washable rugs, which turn a muddy paw print into an everyday chore rather than a disaster. Check a rug's own care label before you wash it, and follow what the label says.

We stock stain resistant rugs too, which give you a little longer to blot a spill before it sets. Many of our rugs are anti-slip, a sensible choice on boards, laminate or tiles, where a loose rug can slide. In a hallway, anti-slip grip helps a runner stay put when people hurry past.

Other shapes and spaces for Think Rugs

A few of the rugs are round, a shape that softens a room full of straight lines and sits neatly under a side table or in a reading corner. Measure the space and let the rug reach just beyond the furniture it sits beneath.

Some of our rugs are made for outdoor use, for a patio or a garden seating area, so check the product details if you want a rug outside. A few of the designs are kids rugs, for the younger members of the family.
