RugStudio — Area Rugs for Safety and Style at Home
Low-pile, non-slip, and machine-washable area rugs from a family-owned retailer since 1930 — practical and stylish for senior homes.
Best for
Seniors refreshing a room with a practical, safe rug choice — especially those with walkers, canes, or pets.
Worth knowing
Loose rugs without proper non-slip pads are a leading fall hazard — always pair any rug with a quality rug pad, which RugStudio sells. Return shipping on large rugs is the customer's responsibility and can be costly; ordering a small swatch first is worth it when colour is critical. Thick shag or high-pile rugs are not recommended for homes with walkers or canes.
Why the RugStudio — Area Rugs for Safety and Style at Home Is Worth Considering
Frequently Asked Questions
Low-pile and flat-woven rugs are the safest choices for seniors. They offer a smooth, stable surface that does not catch walkers, canes, or shuffling feet. Avoid shag and high-pile rugs in high-traffic areas or anywhere a walker is used. Regardless of pile height, always use a quality non-slip rug pad underneath — even a well-chosen rug becomes a fall hazard without one.
Yes — a non-slip rug pad is essential under any area rug for senior safety. RugStudio sells their own rug pads, which can be ordered alongside any rug purchase. A pad also extends rug life by reducing wear and prevents edges from bunching or curling, which are common trip points.
RugStudio offers a 30-day return policy on most items in unused, new condition. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility. One practical option for colour or size uncertainty is to purchase the smallest available size first as a sample — RugStudio accepts returns at full refund if the larger purchase is reconsidered.
Most in-stock rugs ship within 24–48 hours of ordering and arrive within 1–5 business days via FedEx or UPS. Shipping is free on all orders over $50 within the contiguous U.S. Oversized rugs may go via freight carrier and take a few extra days.
