"Try a large corner sample of the rug in the home and live with it for a week. Ask your interior
designer to come in and think about fabrics.

Place rug samples for adjoining rooms with the fabrics and see how they work with each other. Eventually you will be able to pull it all together."

Samples are the most cost-effective way of finding the best rug for your room

The best rugs set the right mood in a room and the wrong rugs can turn into a costly mistake. A rug that dazzles in the showroom can dissapoint when seen at home. Interior Designers consider it the best practice to first try large rug corner samples in a room because each helps to: 

• Save hours of travel and time spent browsing multiple showrooms.
• Avoid ordering the wrong rugs and the effort of returning them.
• Make decorating easier by using rug samples as guides for selecting fabrics, wall colors, accessories and overall color composition for the room.
• Make selections for adjoining room rugs easy.
• Save costs of shipping large rugs. Pay just a small UPS charge for samples and return them for a full refund.
