Living room rug ideas can be hard to come by, but thankfully we have a collection of living room rug ideas that are concocted to inspire and delight. A good-quality rug can last forever when taken care of and can completely change the feel of a space. In most of these living rooms, the rugs help the room by giving it a cozy and comforting feel, especially when laid on previously hard wooden floors. A neutral rug can soften the living room space and truly make it a place for rest and relaxation.
Alternatively, a rug can create a statement, drawing the eye and deepening the feel of a room that was previously too light and intangible. Darker colors can create a grounding effect or a bold pattern can feel fresh and modern. Scroll down for more living room rug ideas.
