How do I unpack and lay out my new rug?
Congratulations on your rug purchase! Use these steps to make your new rug look fabulous. Follow these easy steps:
Step 1 – Open
Open and unroll your rug as soon as it arrives. Give the rug air and avoid unnecessary wrinkles or creases by unrolling your rug immediately after opening.
Step 2 – Flip
After unrolling your new rug, flip it over. Tightly roll your rug the opposite way so the top is now facing out. Keep your new rug rolled this way for a few minutes and unroll it before flipping it back over.
Reverse rolling your rug this way allows any bent fibers to lay flat and smooth.
Step 3 – Unroll your pad
Unroll your rug pad and place it where you want your new rug to lie on the floor. Next, place your rug over the rug pad so there is a ½ – 1” between the pad and the edge of the rug.
Your rug pad is intended to keep your rug in place. It helps prevent slipping, curling around the edges, or wrinkles in the rug.

Step 4 – Vacuum
Vacuum your freshly placed rug to remove excess fibers.
Step 5 – Position
Position furniture or heavy objects evenly and firmly on your rug to help it lay flat around the edges.
All finished!
Now, you’re set to have your rug and space look great. Enjoy!
