How to Select the Right Rug Size for Your Dining Room: The Ultimate Handbook for Achieving Style and Functionality

 Whether your home’s floors are cool tiled or carpeted, there’s always room for a Rugs Dubai. It adds a splash of colour, warmth and a nod to your local culture. The best rugs can also make an expensive statement, from Dhs1,000 up for a hand-knotted New Zealand wool model to well over Dhs50,000 for a silk-spun heirloom piece. But if you know your stuff - and have the time to hunt – there’s a whole slew of bargains out there that will suit just about any taste.

 Modern and traditional styles

One way to keep your budget in check is to buy a rug that’s on the harder-wearing side, like sisal or jute. These are great for high-traffic areas and work with both modern and traditional styles.

High street 

Another great option is to choose a synthetic or polypropylene rug, which will be hard-wearing, easy to clean and super stylish (but not as warm as a woollen version). If you have a smaller budget to play with, you can still find a fab style on the high street or at one of the myriad of specialised local retailers who specialise in affordable handmade rugs.

 Traditional Moroccan patterns

For the ultimate in luxury, head to a bespoke carpet maker like the Dubai-based Nazmiyal. They’ll weave your rug to order and even provide a free sample so you can see the finished product before buying. They can create a design from your own inspiration, or you can choose from their extensive catalogue of designs that are inspired by traditional Moroccan patterns.

 Tibetan silks

You’ll also find an array of sizes on offer here, from a small 2’x3’ to huge 4’x5’ options. They’ll also make a custom-made rug to fit your specific space and you can even have it dyed in a special colour.

A mall-based Rugs Dubai specialist, this store carries everything from hand-knotted New Zealand wools to finely spun Tibetan silks, plus an intriguing line of matte leather ones that look a bit like a cross between a shag pile and the kind of rug you might find at a hipster boutique hotel in New York.

Conclusion

As a visual ode to Jaipur’s traditional stepwells, this showroom fuses architecture and craft. The dramatic, double-height open concept space features floor-to-ceiling rug displays on three walls, and a seating vignette at the centre. The mezzanine level offers management offices and meeting rooms, while the open workspace on the ground floor is a hub for the local design community. It’s a truly impressive space and it goes to show that you don’t need to break the bank to get your hands on a beautiful handmade rug.
