I’m Nelisiwe and I’m a living room expert with a love for home styling. This month, we’re diving into all things rugs, furniture and wall art and I’m sharing my top tips and inspiration to choose the best items to fit in your home style.

Sheet Street’s Ultimate Guide to Choosing Rugs, Furniture & Wall Art for Your Home

Styling Your Rugs to Fit Your Space

A well-chosen rug can instantly add warmth and comfort to any room of your home. Remember to consider the fabrication, prints and colours to ensure your choice of rug coordinates with your existing décor. Darker faux fur rugs can make your space feel warmer in winter, while Persian rugs can make a timeless statement, bringing the
room together.

 

Types of Rugs & Where To Place Them In Your Home

Not only do you have to consider the style and size of the rug, but placement too.
Here are our top styling tips on choosing the best home for your new rug:

Runners
Ideal for hallways and narrow spaces. They help guide the eye and can add warmth to cold
floors.

Statement Rugs
Larger rugs are best for living rooms and bedrooms. Place furniture on top to bring your look together.

Smaller Mats & Cotton Rugs
Perfect for small spaces, layering, or adding a pop of colour!

Styling Statement Rugs
We’ve asked Nelisiwe, our living room expert, for her top tips on styling your larger statement rug in your living room or bedroom. Nelisiwe, says when it comes to statement rugs, bigger is often better! Don’t hesitate to opt for a larger size to fill your space and tie the room together. Remember, the goal is to allow your furniture to overlap the edges of the rug to make the space feel pulled together.

Why You Need These Furniture Items & Where To Place Them

When choosing furniture from Sheet Street, you have to think about a few things. First, does the item match your décor choices? If your home features pops of gold, perhaps add a gold-plated side table into your space so that everything coordinates perfectly.


Next, you need to consider your needs and the space you’re trying to fill. Furniture items have different functions and may work better in certain spaces than others, although our furniture gives you flexibility and versatility to use it wherever you need it!
Here are a few examples:

Bedroom
Side Tables

Move these lightweight, easy-to-assemble side tables around from room to room without any hassle.

Living Room
Coffee Tables

Layer over a large rug to add a functional finishing touch to spaces shared
by the family.

Office
Pedestals & Drawers

Store your bits and bobs in our compact drawers or pedestals, without taking
up too much space.

Wall Art & Décor To Transform Your Space

Look for a new canvas print or mirror from Sheet Street for your wall to revamp your space. Adding something bold will instantly refresh your living room. Remember to look for something that complements your
current décor and colour scheme.
