A rug is to a room what the right accessories are to an outfit: it can make all the difference in creating a cohesive look and feel. It can bring together the pieces of a space with harmony, mellow things down, or make a statement.
In addition to bringing a layer of texture and warmth, rugs have a host of other functional uses. They can help to define a seating area, create intentional space within open floor plans, and serve as a place to sit, walk and play.
Whether you are looking for a rug to warm up your floors or to bring your room’s style together, there is an endless selection to choose from. From classic stripes to modern geometrics, there is a rug out there for everyone.
When choosing a rug, it is important to consider the size of your space. Ideally, your rug should be large enough that all of the main pieces of your furniture (couch, chairs, and coffee table) are either fully on it or at least have the front legs on it. Having furniture that is positioned too close to the rug can give it a crowded and unanchored look.
It is also a good idea to leave some floor space around the edges of your rug. This will prevent it from becoming a tripping hazard and allow you to move around your furniture easily. Leaving a minimum of 8’’ from your furniture to the edge of your rug is ideal, though 12’’ or more is preferred.
