The living room rug is a vital unifying factor.

How to arrange rugs

  • If you want to divide a room into sections - one area of sitting, one for writing at a desk - you can use a number of smaller rugs to define each section.
  • To make your rug the focal point in your room, or to balance an existing focal point, use one large rug.
  • If you find you have a gap between furniture which makes your room look unfinished, you can use smaller rugs of suitable sizes and colors to fill in the gaps.
  • Dull areas can be livened up by the use of colorful rugs. Busy areas can be calmed by placing plain, or those with muted colors.
  • You can achieve a rich look to your living room by using many small rugs laid at different angles to each other, some even overlapping. This produces a very 'eastern' or 'bazaar' effect.
  • A rich rug placed in front of a fireplace always works.

But we're not done yet...

The soft colors of these rugs combine perfectly with their surroundings

There are plenty of other uses for living room rugs.

  • Flat weave rugs such as kilims can be placed on top of small tables.
  • Kilims also make excellent upholstery fabrics, as they are very strong and hard wearing.
  • Very soft rugs can be used as throws. Moroccan tribal rugs are ideal for this purpose.
  • As with all rooms, if you have a particularly beautiful rug which isn't too big and heavy, hang it on a wall. Silk rugs, such as Turkish silk prayer rugs, look exquisite when used in this way.
  • If you have any damaged rugs, cut out the good sections and use them as pillow (cushion) covers. If you have enough for two or three you can place them on your couch.
