Unlike permanent flooring they are easy to maintain because they can be swapped, moved, or layered to refresh a room without major renovations making it renter friendly.
Are you wondering where to place your rugs?
Like we have been telling earlier in this blog, the first thing you should consider is the size of the rug and again, larger ones are the best because they help ground your space making it feel more cohesive and luxurious.
Here are the general rules that we follow:
-
Living Room
In this area, you should always add larger rugs that are enough for at least the front legs of the sofas and chairs to sit on it. You may ask your local interior designer to guide you through the size and selection process.
Pro Tip: A well-placed rug in the living room ties all the furniture together.
You may put furniture on the rug – This is ideal for open-concept spaces and this layout creates a cohesive and contemporary look.
Check on the front legs on the rug – If you have medium-size room, one of the most practical options for you is to frame the seating area.
Floating Rugs are a plus – Now if your furniture is up against the wall, you may put the rug at the center of the room as it adds balance and warmth to the space.
-
Dining Room
The most common area where rugs are placed is at the bottom of the dining table. Just make sure the rug extends at least 24 inches beyond the edges of the table to allow your chairs to stay on the rug when they’re pulled in and out.
Pro Tip: Style and functionality should go hand in hand
Adding rugs in the dining room adds comfort underfoot and enhances the dining experience. One challenge is if you have wobbly chairs. One way to solve that is the rug should extend at least 24 inches beyond the table on all sides. Choosing easy to clean materials like wool or synthetic fibers is best for handling spills and stains for durability.
-
Bedroom
In this area, the best places to add rugs are those at the end side of the bed for aesthetic but ideally, you should extend at least 18-24 inches beyond the sides of the bed for a cozy feel. Rugs should be larger than your bed-that's a general rule.
Pro Tip: Softness underfoot
Starting your day with a cozy feeling is the goal. Placing a rug under your bed can achieve this. Here are 3 ways to position it.
-
Large rug under the entire bed and nightstands to create a dramatic and luxurious look
-
Rugs should cover two-thirds of the bed and should stop before the nightstands to save on cost while still making an impact on your space.
-
Two smaller rugs on either side of the bed are some top choices if you are on a budget and it's still the best flexible option available.
-
Entryway
This area is also one of the most common areas for rugs placement. We suggest that you fill most of the entry space while allowing the door to open freely.
Pro Tip: Make a great and lasting first impression.
We all know our entryways set the tone for our homes. When we place a rug in this area, it should be durable, stylish and proportionate to the space. Consider:
-
A large are rug for spacious foyers filling up most of your entry space to make a statement.
-
Choose a runner for narrow hallways as it adds depth and texture to your interiors.
-
A small doormat layered over to a larger rug is trendy and will add a welcoming touch.
