Rugs — style, warmth, and character for every room

A rug is more than a floor covering. It defines zones, absorbs sound, brings warmth, and sets the first visible tone for the style of a room. Whether you want to redesign your living room, give your bedroom a soft start to the morning, or turn your terrace into a genuine open-air room — the right rug brings all of this together.

Which rug suits which room?

Rug for the living room: The living room calls for a rug with presence. Large-format models create cohesion when a sofa, coffee table, and armchair come together visually as a unit. The rule of thumb: either all the front legs of the furniture rest on the rug, or it is large enough for all four legs of every piece to sit fully on it. Half-measures make the room feel restless.

Rug for the bedroom: Here it is the first feeling in the morning that counts — barefoot comfort. Soft, plush materials such as wool or high-pile synthetics belong right beside the bed. Round rugs work particularly well in front of the bed or under a freestanding floor lamp.

Outdoor rug for terrace and balcony: Weatherproof, UV-stable, easy to care for. Outdoor rugs define seating groups on terraces and balconies just as effectively as their indoor counterparts — and can simply be hosed down when needed.

Materials at a glance: from wool to short pile

The choice of material determines the feel, durability, and maintenance requirements:

• Wool rug — natural, long-lasting, thermoregulating. Wool springs back well, absorbs moisture without feeling damp, and retains its character over the years. Ideal for living rooms with a lot of foot traffic.
• Short-pile rug — robust, easy to care for, timeless. Short fibres make it resistant to wear and easy to vacuum. The classic choice for high-traffic areas and a modern look.
• Synthetic fibres (polyester, polypropylene) — affordable, colourfast, hard-wearing. Well suited to households with children or pets, and for outdoor use.
• Natural fibres (jute, sisal, cotton) — sustainable and full of character. These materials have an organic feel and work particularly well with natural, warm interior styles.

Shapes and sizes: why geometry matters

Rectangular rugs are standard — they follow the geometry of the room and work universally. Round rugs, on the other hand, make a deliberate statement: under a round dining table, in an entrance hall, or as a soft island in the bedroom.

When it comes to size: bigger is always better than smaller. A rug that is too small makes furniture look adrift and reads like a patch on the floor. Made-to-measure options or a well-curated range in various standard sizes make the decision easier — and that is exactly what you will find here.

Designer rugs — when the floor becomes a statement

A modern designer rug is not just a floor covering but a design element in its own right. Pattern, colour, and pile texture are part of the room concept. Geometric shapes, abstract structures, or restrained monochromes — depending on your interior style, the range includes models that work as independent design statements or blend harmoniously into the overall picture.

Designer rugs work particularly well in combination with purist sofas and armchairs, where the rug acts as a colourful or textured base that sets the furniture off to advantage.

Buying a rug in Switzerland — online or in the showroom

You can order conveniently online — or take the time to experience materials and sizes in person. At the Showroom in Winterthur selected models are available to touch. Especially with wool rugs and designer models, direct contact is worthwhile: the feel and colour effect can only be approximated on a screen.

Rugs as part of your living concept

A good rug works together with the rest of the room. Complement it with matching cushions for the sofa or the floor, or browse the full accessories range for further details that give your home its character.
