Use Rugs to Define Areas.

 Comfort, warmth, and decorative interest are all provided by Small area rugs (color, pattern, texture, etc.). They can serve as floor art and serve as a frame around which to arrange furniture and define places.

A rug can be used to separate or define spaces like a sitting or dining room, a corridor, or a porch. This is particularly useful in small flats or places that require definition.

How do you use multiple rugs on an open floor plan?

In a single room, two carpets can be placed adjacent to or near one another. The idea is to alter the scale of each rug's patterns, in addition to keeping the prevailing color consistent. Combine a small-scale pattern rug with a medium- or large-scale pattern rug.

Area rugs with under-rug pads are a more efficient and cost-effective way to warm up your house. Aside from being softer, area rugs are warmer and have a higher insulating value than hard flooring since they trap heat and make your environment cozier.

Layering rugs is best done in a room with plenty of open space and little furniture, such as a bedroom, living room, or den. Fire suggests layering patterns on the pattern if the room is on the simpler side. If the space has wallpaper or a lot going on, she recommends blending a solid rug with a patterned rug.
