Whether you need to warm up your living room, add a splash of colour to your bedroom, or find that perfect wall decoration for your study, you can always rely on a rug. However sometimes it can be tricky to find the right rug. What colour should you go for? Do you want shaggy or flatweave? What size do you need? Fear not!

If you think leaving shoes on in the house is a nasty habit, then you’re not alone. People from all over the world – from Indonesia to Sweden – take their shoes off at the door with no questions asked.
