Our favourite places to shop for large rugs

You wouldn’t believe how many emails and DMs we get about where to shop for large rugs! One of the biggest rug faux pas we see is using a rug that’s too small in a space. It creates the illusion of it floating in a room, rather than anchoring furniture and achieving the sense of a zone. That’s why large area rugs are such a powerful styling tool when it comes to interior decoration. So we’ve rounded up some of our favourite places to buy large rugs in Australia!

Most of these are online businesses so you get the benefit of a much larger range and at a lower cost delivered straight to your door, win win!
