The type of flooring a person has in their home can affect the entire aesthetic theme of the home. Rugs can add visual appeal and provide functional purposes. A patterned area rug can add texture to a space, as well as providing cushioning for toddlers or pets. Best practices for picking a rug include considering the entire room at large, choosing a subdued pattern, and making sure the rug is soft enough to sit on. If a person is considering a bolder statement piece, there’s room to get creative with the fabric, color, or pattern of the rug.
Key Takeaways:
- Flooring is an important aspect of the ambience you will create for your living room.
- Your choice of an area rug can make a room seem bigger and wider, or smaller, than it actually is.
- Yes – you can layer smaller rugs on top of larger ones to achieve your design goals!
““My general rule with area rugs is that they have to be big enough to fit under all of the furniture in the living room (the sofa and the accent chairs, etc.) and be soft enough to sit on. Size and texture are the two most important qualities. There is nothing worse than a flat and scratchy rug that you can’t stretch out on.””
