• Know Your Rug

Apart from the classic woven rug, there are many other options available in the market. These can include tufted, hooked, knotted, braided, shag, and flat-woven rugs. These classifications are made based on the method by which the carpet came together.

• Size

The rig’s size will depend not only on the size of the room in which you will place it but also on the furniture’s layout. For instance, for a living room, opt for a rug that can accommodate at least the furniture’s front legs, if not all of it. In dining rooms, the rug needs to big enough to have all the chairs placed on it even if they are pushed away from the table. If you are thinking of having a rug in your bedroom, make sure it frames the bed. The bedside tables can have their front legs seated on the edges of the carpet.

• Shape

The rectangle isn’t the only shape that rugs come in. You can find area rugs in fun shapes that complement the setting of your home. As a rule of thumb, the rug should reflect the form of the furniture it contains. Circular tables go well with round rugs, whereas rectangular arrangements match well with sharp rectangular woven rugs. The shape of the room is also a factor in determining the condition of the rug. For instance, if the room is long, make use of a similarly shaped rug that is narrow and highlights the corners of the room.

• Two is better than one.

 If the space in question is large and open, you can g for multiple rugs. These rugs can act as separators for the furniture, such as the dining table, couches, lounging area, etc. Ensure a border by the wall is left empty if you are going for maximum floor coverage to prevent a cluttered and busy appearance. The frame ideally falls between 8 to 14 inches, but you can see for yourself how much space looks flattering to your decor.

• Layering

In case you have fallen in love with a smaller rug, you always have the option of layering it on top of another one. The bigger the carpet, the more expensive it is. If you don’t wish to loosen the purse strings much, you can purchase a small rug and put it on top of a less expensive rug to achieve a chic look. Layered rugs have been gathering steam in the home decor arena for quite some time now. Make sure you stick to the same color family when combining your rugs. 

• Stick Them on the Wall

Rugs don’t always have to be limited to the floor. Some rugs look nothing short of artworks, and they deserved to be framed and hung gracefully on the wall. The artworks are part of a timeless trend that use lightweight flat-woven rugs as tapestries and wall hangings. In case there is a big patch of space on your wall, you can cover that right up with a gorgeous textured area rug.
