Tips To Help You Master Layering Rugs

Rugs make a hard surface look better and soften it up. A good rug completes the sections of a room. They can transform your interior entirely. To create a concoction of colour, pattern and texture, the way is to layer your rugs. Whether you want to layer two different rugs on one another or decorate your rug over a carpet, there are various ways to beautifully achieve that. Read on to know how to skillfully master the art of layering rugs.

You can add character to your living space by layering a smaller rug on top of a large one, hence defining your entire space. This can prove to be especially helpful for small living spaces like studios and open floor plans. To make your space appear larger, you can create smaller areas within your room. Start by layering a small rug in the center of your room which definitely helps in grounding the entire space while giving it character and definition. For a softened look of layered rugs, try placing two rugs that belong to each other appearance-wise. You can achieve this by layering a small unique yet stylish rug on top of a large one that is similar in shape to the small one, to give a personalized appeal to your living space.

To create a bold, chic style for your living space try mixing different patterned rugs. Although layering patterned rugs can be a bit tricky as compared to layering a pattern on a solid rug, you can definitely master it with the help of some tips:

• Try using colour tones with the same intensities or don’t mix jewel tones with pastel tones.

• Try layering distinct patterns which are on the same colour palette, to create a stylishly chic appeal. This will also add a certain amount of depth and character to your room.

• Make sure to keep one pattern bigger than the other in order to keep both the rugs from competing with each other.

There is absolutely no need of mixing colours and patterns if you can just layer distinctly textured rugs on top of one another, which in turn will add ample depth and character to your room. For instance: try using a sisal rug as a base and complete the whole look by layering a cowhide rug, or a jute rug as a base and sheepskin on top of it. Or simply go with anything plush on a flat-woven rug. This whole amalgamation will create a focal point for your space while exuding subtlety.

Just simply try rotating your rugs to create a fun vibe in your living space while making it a focal point. Placing rugs at a certain angle definitely adds a bold style statement while bestowing movement to your room. In order to make this work, you need to ensure that the base rug is slightly bigger in size so that the diagonal arrangement works flawlessly.

Layering rug is heavily in trends and starting at your entryway is a sure shot way to create a stylish, unique appeal for your home. For example, try by choosing a simple, solid rug and layer it with a patterned rug. Just keep in mind to choose a rug with big patterns as this can add a stylish flair to your entryways.

If you have wall-to-wall carpeting, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun with your area rugs. Layering rugs over carpet is an ideal way of adding a personal touch to your humble abode. Your main concern while layering a rug over the wall-to-wall carpet can be that it can ripple or bunch up at the corners. But you can resolve it by securing your rug under furniture or by using a rug pad.
