3 Essential
Ingredients for the Perfect Christmas Rug
With the big day just around the corner, time is running out
to secure those perfect Christmas presents.
But just because the festive season is all about giving
doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself now and then, right? With that in mind –
and to get into the Christmas spirit – we thought we’d take a look at the
essential elements for the perfect Christmas rug. So if you’re looking to
create a winter wonderland in your own home this December, our recommendations
for a Christmas rug should really come in handy.
A seasonal
colour scheme
Before you ask: we’re not talking about a Christmas rug
that’s adorned with sparkles, tinsel, gold and silver (although if that’s your
kind of thing, we won’t stop you). There are some colours that can be regarded
as both festive and appropriate all year round, making them perfect for
Christmas rugs. Take red and green for example; these are two classically
festive colours that lots of rugs feature. The Swing Funky
multi-textured rugs include a floral pattern with red and green highlights
blended with just a touch of amber – a real contender for a Christmas rug!
A long pile
for extra cosiness
What do you think of when you picture Christmas? Perhaps
it’s the traditional image of a warm fireplace with cold weather outside? If
so, the perfect Christmas rug has to include a thick, cosy texture for that
extra touch of the warm and cosy. Any one of the shaggy
rugs in our range would be an ideal choice – a great Christmas rug on which
to open your presents on Christmas morning! Shaggy rugs are great as Christmas
rugs because the long, soft and feathery pile makes them a real pleasure to sit
on.
A
traditional design for your Christmas rug
Okay, so it might not be ideal to have a rug in your home
all year round which features Santa Claus or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer –
but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy traditional designs. Intricate and ornate
patterns such as those you see on our antique
rug ranges are ideal for Christmas because they evoke images of a wintry,
traditional England – and the blend of reds and greens doesn’t hurt the
Christmas rug image either.
