Rugs are more than just a way to keep your floor or carpet free from dust and mud. They can be a way to add color, patterns, and textures to your design and pull together a desired aesthetic. While you may choose to spread rugs of different sizes around your room or home, you can also layer them to create a unique look.
Layering rugs allows you to use a large base rug and a smaller rug with a different style or color. This means you can create contrast in a room and include all the details you desire. You can layer rugs under coffee tables, near fireplaces, in front of doors and entryways, or even in the center of the room. You can match the rugs to each other or make a bold statement by choosing options that work together without perfectly coordinating. If you are looking for a way to add new colors and designs to your home, consider this collection of layered lying room rugs.
