How to:

Choose the perfect rug

Define Your Space
Open floor plans can create the illusion that your furniture is "floating." A carefully placed rug will anchor your space and define the area. Choose a rug that complements your décor in a size that works for your furniture, and the room's traffic pattern.

Create a cohesive look between rooms with rugs that complement (rather than match exactly) the furnishings in a space.

Dine in Style
The soft texture of a rug stylishly complements the lines of a dining table, creating an inviting atmosphere for laid-back meals and lively conversation.

Place a colorful rug beneath your dining furniture to create a dramatic space for entertaining. In general, you want to choose a rug that's large enough so guests can push back their chairs without sliding off.

Create a Cozier Bedroom
A wool rug adds instant texture and warmth to any bedroom, letting you slumber in comfort and style.

Create a perimeter around the lower two-thirds of your bed with a solid-colored rug. Or place small runners along each side. Choose rugs with a deep, plush pile for an irresistibly soft landing.
