Choosing black rugs

Black and charcoal rugs anchor a room and give pale floors and furniture definition. They are practical for hiding dirt but can show light-coloured dust, lint and pet hair. Monochrome black and white designs suit modern and Scandi schemes, while charcoal is softer and easier to pair with warm woods.

Rugs in the living room

In a living room, a common guideline is to choose a rug large enough for at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs to sit on it, which joins the seating into one group. Leave roughly 30 to 60 cm of floor showing between the rug and the walls. Too small a rug is the most common mistake and makes a room look disjointed.

Care and cleaning

The care instructions given by the makers of these rugs include: "Vacuum with suction only (no beater bar)" (4 designs); "Vacuum regularly and spot clean gently as needed" (1 design); "Vacuum regularly to keep it looking pristine" (1 design). Vacuum regularly, ideally with a suction-only head or with the beater bar raised for deeper piles, and blot spills straight away from the outside in rather than rubbing. Always follow the care label on the product page, and test any cleaner on a hidden corner first. It is less springy than wool and can crush under heavy furniture.

What are black & charcoal rugs for the living room made from?

By material, this selection includes Polypropylene (8), Polyester (7), Wool (4), Polypropylene & polyester (4) and Jute & natural fibres (3). Polypropylene (also called olefin) is a hard-wearing synthetic fibre that is solution-dyed, so the colour runs right through the fibre and resists fading and bleaching.
