Why integrate a rug into your workspace?
The benefits of a carpet in an office environment are numerous:
-
Acoustic comfort : Reduces echoes and absorbs noise in rooms with hard floors.
-
Physical well-being : Improves comfort if you use a wheelchair or work standing up.
-
Visual delineation : Helps structure open or multifunctional spaces.
-
Warmth and Texture : Adds a warm, human touch to an often rigid environment.
From freelancers to lawyers, creatives to therapists – everyone deserves an office that's as inspiring as it is functional.
Style and identity: choose a rug that suits you
Like your choice of furniture or lighting, your rug should reflect your personality or brand. Our Atmorus collections are designed to complement the most sought-after interior styles.

Ergonomics and comfort: is a mat under your desk a good idea?
Absolutely. Here's why:
-
Smooth Mobility : A low-density mat allows the chair to roll easily while protecting the floor.
-
Tension relief : A thicker mat or ergonomic mattress reduces fatigue when standing.
-
Warmth underfoot : A real plus in winter or in cool environments.
Tip : Choose a flat-woven or low-pile rug if you use a chair with wheels. Long-pile rugs may restrict your movement.
What size mat should you choose for your office?
Here are some useful pointers:
-
Under the desk : Minimum 120 × 180 cm so that the chair remains entirely on the carpet.
-
Carpet covering : 180 × 270 cm or more to structure the entire space.
-
Accent rug : 90 × 150 cm under an armchair or in front of a bookcase.
Don't forget to add a rug pad to prevent it from slipping and to extend its lifespan.
Colors and atmosphere: how to choose the right palette?
The color of a rug influences the energy of the room:
-
Neutrals (gray, beige, taupe) : Calm and timeless.
-
Blues and greens : Promote concentration.
-
Reds and oranges : Stimulating and dynamic.
-
Black and white : Modern, graphic, for strong contrast.
At Atmorus, we recommend choosing a rug that visually anchors the space, while creating harmony with your furniture, walls, or accessories.
Decorating tips: how to style your office with a rug?
Some simple and effective ideas:
-
Layering : Combine a small textured rug with a flat rug for added depth.
-
Thoughtful shapes : A round rug softens angles; a rectangular rug structures the room.
-
Natural light : Place the rug near a light source to bring out its textures.
-
Vertical consistency : Harmonize the colors of the rug with the shelves or paintings.
Maintenance: how to keep an office mat spotless?
-
Vacuum regularly to remove dust.
-
Rotate the rug every 3-4 months for even wear.
