Do you consider yourself a Rug Person??

CANDLEQUEEN — Mon, 14 Aug 2017 18:43:49 GMT

I love rugs, and have them in my bathrooms, kitchen and living room and also in front of both entrances. 2 of my sisters hate rugs and do not have any in their whole house! Not even in their bathrooms......Are you a rug lover or not so much?

@CANDLEQUEEN Goodness.......I could never be without a rug under my feet when standing at the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, or sitting on the throne! I concede that cleaning is a lot easier without them (especially when you have a long-haired cat), but I need some cushies under my feet!

My house has wall to wall in most rooms, but honestly I could get rid of that because the cleaning would be so much easier!

Kitchen, living room, dining room, loft bedroom. I love rugs and think they add so much to the space. Two of the rugs were purchased on Overstock which has free shipping - great thick quality rugs that have held up over the years.

I love rugs but don't have a lot of them. I have laminate floors throughout my house and need them. I bought my living room and master bedroom rugs from Overstock. They're great quality and I just love them. I have rugs in my bathroom in front of my sink and my tub, although they aren't decorative. I bought them at BB&B. I have a mat similar to a GelPro in my kitchen. It really helps when I have to stand for a while.

I have rugs at front & back doors to help catch some of the dirt coming in. I also have rugs in the bathrooms in front of the vanity but I do not have those rugs that go around the toilet.

I don't consider myself a rug person or I would have more of them. It's just something else I have to vacuum & remove weekly to clean under it. At my age I want to make my life easier when it comes to house cleaning. DH did not want me to put a rug in the living room after we had hardwoods installed because he said why cover it up so you cannot see the nice floors.

Another vote for rugs ! I have all travertine and Mexican tile floors, so love the cozy factor, the color, the warmth and luxuriousness underfoot of rugs (:

Love rugs too.....and I read that among our belongings that our children don't want are RUGS.

I have a Karastan wool rug that I really enjoy but after a year it still sheds a lot. I just got another rug from Karastan that is a blend of wool that was much less money and just a pretty and soft. They do have sales and on line sites offer free delivery and pad.

I also love rugs. They make a house a home. I have them in all my bathrooms, all my doors, kitchen sink, under my dinning room table, large one in my family room, laundry room, runners down all my stairs and out on my deck. Yes I love rugs.

I have hardwood floors and love rugs. I don't have rugs in all the rooms, I like some of my rooms to have the bare wood floors.

I have Royal Palace rugs all over my house, my floors are hardwood, bamboo and tile. Floors like that are too hard and cold to live on 24/7, I like the soft comfort of wool rugs.

I am a rug junkie but I've had big hairy dogs and it was a losing battle keeping them clean.

But now that they are gone -- old age--- I'm sure I'll get back to rugs.

@persiflage....same, went to great lengths to find our hardwood floors and had them installed in every room except the bathrooms. I've loved beautiful rugs since I was young, I also like the gleam of the bare wood floors, not a fan of wall-to-wall carpet.

I think an area rug, even on carpet, can make or break a room. They add warmth, color, texture and pattern. I always have one in front of my sofa. I have a collection in the general 3' X 5' size range and I switch them out. I also have a bunch of Navajo rugs, I don't even know how many, stored in a cedar chest. I've never used them, except to hang one on the wall, because of my dogs. The two dogs I've got now are very trustworthy so I should haul one out.

i never liked rugs because i would very often trip on them when i was younger, so up to this day, i refuse to have one. add to that, i feel they're just a trap for dust and lint and all of that good stuff. instead, i have very nice hardwood floors and pretty tiles, and that works out better for me.

A big NO for me; never been a fan of rugs. I do have them inside each door, one in the main bathroom for my girls to use when they step out of the tub, and my husband wanted one at the side of the bed. My teacher daughter bought a large one for her room. No other rugs here.

We added hardwood on the main floor last year and I searched a long time to find the perfect rugs for the family, living & dining rooms! I love how they look! In the family room we have a good sized rug under the glass coffee table next to the sofa. I got another smaller version of it to place by the fireplace where we keep the dog's first floor bed.

I think a room that has either hardwood or tile is a little cold in appearance without a rug or two. A rug not only adds warmth but can balance out furniture as well as add texture, design & color.

I can't imagine not having them... a room would seem unfinished.

Not a rug person. I do not like wall to wall carpeting.

I prefer hardwood flooring, ceramic tiling et cetera.

I do enjoy Royal Palace rugs. I can roll them up and put aside.

I use area rugs but would never opt for wall to wall carpeting.

I fall in the middle. I like a few rugs.
