With winter well and truly apparent now, everyone's trying to keep warm as the temperatures drop both during the day and at night.

Rugs are great insulators on polished surface floors and also add character and texture to help with feeling ‘cosy’.

Woollen rugs are largely popular during these times because of their great heat insulation properties, having a rug with a higher pile will also add to the comfort factor. The thicker your wool rugs, the better the level of insulation.

Whilst adding a rug to your space will assist with energy cost reduction during cooler months it will also help in warmer months.

Having any type of rug in your home, will help regulate temperature and humidity. Regulating humidity is critical during the winter months to prevent mould and health implications.
