6x9 Area Rugs

Adorn Your Small Space with Handcrafted 6x9 Area Rugs

For homeowners who have small living rooms in their homes, 6x9 rugs can add style and ease to these areas. If your furniture is adjacent to your walls, you can use these rugs and put all of your furniture’s legs on top of them. You can also place them in between chairs to liven up your space. The rug will appear as if it was intended and designed for that area, as long as it's properly centered between your furniture pieces.

Moreover, if you wish to add extra comfort to your bedroom, you can insert a 6x9 rug below your bed and bedside table. Doing this will give your space a more comfortable padding. After all, the rug will make a nice accent to your bedroom since they aren’t large enough to cover your lovely floors.

Meanwhile, if you’re placing the 6x9 rug in your dining room, you may push your table closer to the window or wall, so you can save more space and give your rug the attention it deserves.

Materials and Weaving Techniques

Various materials are used to craft 6x9 rugs like wool, cotton, silk (natural threads) and polyester, nylon, and acrylic (synthetic fibers). Typically, rug makers use natural materials because they are more durable. After all, natural fibers add a natural look because of their unique texture.

Some 6x9 area rugs are hand-knotted while others are hand-loomed. Hand-knotted rugs have fringe tassels interlaced with wefts. Hand-loomed carpets, on the other hand, contain fibers that are pressed together and connected with thin threads. The latter generally takes a quicker time to produce.

Creating a rug may require multiple weavers working side-by-side. The whole process can take months to complete because of the tedious work involved. Production, after all, requires selecting fibers, dyeing the threads, and producing a strong finish. After conducting QA checks, imperfections are corrected through shearing.

Colors and Patterns of 6x9 Rugs

6 by 9 rugs are remarkable woven pieces that feature different patterns, which can be contemporary, traditional, transitional, or tribal.

Contemporary rugs use design elements from the past and present to create a new look. In fact, they can be considered sophisticated works of art despite their simplicity. Traditional area rugs, on the other hand, are classic accessories that are also suitable in modern interiors. They typically feature flowers, borders, and other Persian elements.

For a beautifully blended masterpiece, a transitional rug perfectly captures vintage design with a touch of trendiness. These rugs are set apart by their subtle designs, giving them a unique appearance. Tribal rugs, on the other hand, are inspired by nomadic tribal elements. What’s noticeable on their surfaces is that they use repetitive motifs with different colors.

Caring for and Cleaning 6x9 Rugs

Maintain the quality of your 6x9 area rugs by following these care and cleaning guidelines:

• Rotate your rugs at least once a year to even out their natural aging. Rotate them more often if they are placed in high-traffic areas.
• Vacuuming is the easiest way for you to take care of your rugs. It removes deep-seated dirt and particles. Frequent vacummings also remove insects that may have taken shelter in the surfaces of your rug.
• Keep your rug away from direct sunlight because this can cause its colors to fade. While natural discoloration can make a rug look more appealing to some, exposure to excess sunlight could decreases its overall quality.

Room-to-Room Decorating Tips

Your 6x9 rugs can be placed anywhere in your household. Check out these room-to-room decorating tips:

• Living room - This type of rug works best if your living room space is 11x13 or other smaller. This size is ideal because it leaves enough space for your rugs, flooring, and other furnishings
• Kitchen & Hallways - Some areas in your house, like your kitchen and hallways, have narrow spaces that 6x9 rugs can easily fit into. Decorate dull colored rooms with rugs that feature vibrant designs.
• Bedroom - Depending on your bed size, a rug can also bring different elements of your room together and create a cushion for your feet.

Frequently Asked Questions about 6x9 Rugs

What size of rug pad works best for a 6x9 area rug?

We suggest using pads that are smaller than your rug so they won’t peek out of the edges of your rug. This accessory will keep your rug in place, especially if your rug is placed in a high-traffic area. It acts as a buffer between your rug and the floor, providing an extra layer of comfort to your feet.

What makes a good 6x9 rug?

A good rug is set apart by its material and weaving process. But on top of that, another factor that defines a great rug is its pile height. If you want more comfortable rugs, you should consider getting a high-pile rug because they’re softer and plushier. Meanwhile, if you prefer a rug that’s durable and moisture-resistant, go for a low-pile rug.

Where can I place my 6x9 rugs?

The distinct size of this type of rug makes it ideal for small living rooms. For example, place the rug so that your furniture’s front legs are on top. This simple trick can help you save space and give your decor a more cohesive look. You can also adorn your bedroom with these rugs to provide comfortable padding for your feet.
