Dorm Room Trend: How to Choose the Perfect Rug for a Luxe Back-to-School Vibe

As students prepare to head back to school, decorating dorm rooms becomes a top priority. A well-chosen rug can transform a sterile dorm room into a cozy, stylish sanctuary. Whether you're looking to add warmth, color, or personality to your space, Magic Rugs offers a variety of options to help you find the perfect fit for your dorm room. Here’s a guide to choosing the ideal rug for your back-to-school setup.  

1. Consider the Size of Your Space  

Dorm rooms are typically small, so selecting the right size rug is crucial. A 5x7 or 6x9 rug is usually perfect for covering the floor without overwhelming the space. These sizes fit well under a bed or in the center of the room, adding comfort without making the room feel cramped.

Dorm rooms see a lot of foot traffic, so durability is key. Look for rugs made from high-quality materials like wool, which is not only durable but also naturally stain-resistant and easy to clean.
