  How to perfectly place your rugs  
Define your space and bring color and texture to every room
Living Rooms
 
Choose a rug size that complements the furnishings in the room to create a cohesive look for living spaces. Don’t worry about whether your furniture fits entirely on or off the rug. What’s important is that it looks right to you.
 
Open floor plans can often make it seem that furniture is floating. A carefully placed rug will anchor the space and create a defined area for entertaining, working or relaxing.
 
A small rug that is sized to have furnishings cluster around it, whether under a cocktail table or on its own, helps pull together living rooms and conversation areas. Or choose a rug that’s large enough to outline the perimeter of your space.
 
Dining Rooms
 
For dining rooms, consider a rug that’s wide and long enough so that when diners push back their chairs, the chairs stay on the rug.
 
A patterned rug under a glass-topped table like Parsons or Nouveau adds an additional design element that will take center stage when your guests are seated at the table.
 
Bedrooms
 
Surround yourself with warmth and color in bedrooms. Place a large rug so it creates a perimeter around the lower two-thirds of your bed, or use small area rugs along each side.
 
A deep, plush rug will feel soft under foot and create a cozy atmosphere.
