The Practical Choice for Canadian Homes

Canadian winters can be tough on floors, and spring brings its share of mud and moisture. Neutral rugs not only enhance the beauty of your home but also provide a layer of protection against wear and tear.

Choosing a rug with a low pile or a durable weave makes it easier to clean and maintain, especially in high-traffic areas. Consider a rug with a subtle pattern or texture to help camouflage dirt and stains, ensuring your rug looks its best for years to come. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning will help keep your neutral rug fresh and inviting.

Neutral rugs protect your floors and are easy to maintain, perfect for busy Canadian homes.

Complete Styling Guide

Expert tips for placing and styling your rug

Room-by-Room Placement

Living Room

Center your rug under the coffee table with all seating touching or on the rug. For open floor plans, use the rug to define the conversation area.

Bedroom

Place a large rug under the bed extending 2-3 feet on each side, or use runners on either side for a cozy morning landing spot.

Dining Room

Ensure the rug extends 24-30 inches beyond the table on all sides so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.

Nursery

A padded CloudMat in the center creates a safe play zone. Position away from cribs but close to seating areas for tummy time.

Color & Pattern Matching

Neutral Furniture

Bold patterned or richly colored rugs add personality. Try geometric patterns or saturated jewel tones as focal points.

Colorful Decor

Solid neutral rugs in cream, grey, or beige provide visual rest and prevent the space from feeling overwhelming.

Modern Spaces

Abstract patterns or minimalist solid rugs in muted tones complement clean lines and contemporary furniture.

Traditional Rooms

Oriental patterns, medallions, or classic motifs in warm colors enhance heritage and antique furniture pieces.

Pro Designer Tips

  • When in doubt, size up. An undersized rug is the #1 decorating mistake.
  • Use painters tape to mock up dimensions before purchasing.
  • Layer rugs for added texture - place a smaller patterned rug over a larger neutral base.
  • Rotate your rug 180° every 6 months to ensure even wear and sun exposure.

Buying Guide

Choosing the right neutral rug can feel overwhelming, but we're here to help.

Choosing the right neutral rug can feel overwhelming, but we're here to help! Consider these key factors to find the perfect fit for your home.

Use this guide to help you pick the best color, size, and material to suit your needs.

1

Consider Your Room's Size and Shape

Before you start browsing, measure your room and consider its shape. A rug that's too small will make the room feel disjointed, while a rug that's too large can overwhelm the space.

For living rooms, aim for a rug that anchors your seating area, with the front legs of your furniture resting on the rug. In bedrooms, choose a rug that extends beyond the sides and foot of your bed for a luxurious feel.

2

Choose the Right Neutral Tone

Neutral doesn't mean boring! Consider the existing colours in your room and choose a neutral tone that complements them. Warm neutrals like beige and cream create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, while cool neutrals like grey and ivory offer a more modern and sophisticated look.

Think about the amount of natural light your room receives. Lighter neutrals can brighten up a dark space, while darker neutrals can add depth and warmth to a sunny room.

3

Think About Material and Durability

The material of your rug will affect its durability, texture, and overall look. Natural fibres like wool and cotton are soft and comfortable, but they can be more susceptible to stains and wear. Synthetic fibres like polypropylene and nylon are more durable and stain-resistant, making them a great choice for high-traffic areas.

CloudMat's tensioned removable covers offer superior durability and are easily washable, making them ideal for homes with kids or pets.

4

Consider Pattern and Texture

Even though you're choosing a neutral rug, you can still add visual interest with pattern and texture. A subtle geometric pattern or a textured weave can add depth and dimension to your room without overwhelming the space.

Consider a rug with a raised pile or a shag texture for a cozy and inviting feel. A flatweave rug offers a more streamlined and modern look.

Quality You Can Feel

Every rug in our collection is selected for superior craftsmanship. From the weave pattern to the materials used, quality is at the heart of what we offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of choosing a neutral rug?
Neutral rugs offer incredible versatility, seamlessly blending with any decor style and colour palette. They create a calming and inviting atmosphere, making them perfect for any room in your home. Plus, they provide a timeless appeal that will never go out of style. With CloudMat's washable neutral rugs, you can enjoy all these benefits without worrying about spills or stains.
How do I clean a neutral rug?
The cleaning method depends on the rug's material. For CloudMat rugs, the best part is the removable cover! Simply unzip it, toss it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle, and then air dry. For other neutral rugs, regular vacuuming is essential. For spot cleaning, use a mild detergent and blot the stain gently. Avoid rubbing, as this can damage the fibres. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep stains or for rugs made of delicate materials.
What size neutral rug should I choose for my living room?
The ideal rug size depends on the size and layout of your living room. A general rule of thumb is to choose a rug that anchors your seating area, with the front legs of your furniture resting on the rug. This creates a cohesive and inviting space. CloudMat offers a variety of sizes, from 3'x5' to 6'7"x13'2", ensuring you can find the perfect fit for your living room.
Are neutral rugs suitable for homes with pets and children?
Yes! Neutral rugs can be a great choice for homes with pets and children, especially if you choose a durable and stain-resistant material. CloudMat rugs are OEKO-TEX certified safe for babies and feature machine-washable covers, making them ideal for busy families. Choosing a rug with a low pile or a subtle pattern can also help camouflage dirt and stains.
What are the most popular neutral rug colours?
Popular neutral rug colours include beige, cream, grey, ivory, and greige (a blend of grey and beige). These colours offer a versatile and timeless appeal that complements a wide range of decor styles. Consider the existing colours in your room and choose a neutral tone that harmonizes with your furniture and accessories. CloudMat offers a selection of beautiful neutral shades to suit any taste.
