WHERE TO USE AREA RUGS

 

First let me say that rugs on carpeted flooring is a big “no no”. In large rooms I recommend you’ll want to expose some hardwood flooring (an added value in real estate), so having an area rug as big as the seating area, or whatever area you’re working with will create a defined space with a texture element. An undersized rug will make a small room seem smaller and a large room look disconnected. Place the rug underneath at least the first set of legs of your bed, couch or chairs to create a cohesive look. Rugs typically look better when all the furniture is on them.
