been going around since centuries.

We are talking about rugs and carpet runners! Rugs and carpet or hall runners are the perfect

way to decorate your home. Adding a rug can add much needed excitement in any room! Most

people think that rugs should be limited to just the living room but that’s not the case. A rug or a

runner can be used for any room of the house. That’s because a rug can give the sense of

defining a room and can even add warmth in your room. If your room looks a bit empty, throw in

a rug and be amazed at the transformation!

before ordering one, go through these exciting ways to use rugs at your home

Separate and Define Areas

Did you know that you can use rugs and hall runners to separate and define areas in your

home? You can add a rug to larger areas of your home like the living room or a large room to

separate and define it. This helps in making the room look full and is especially useful for studio

apartments where you need to define different areas.

Different Rugs in the Same Room

Most people think that there is some rule written by some higher ‘house decorating’ power

which says something like ‘Thou Shalt Not Use More Than One Rug in a Room’. But that’s not

the case! You can definitely use more than one rug in a room, but ensure that they are not of

the same size. Using same sized rugs in a room and divide the room in half and when it comes

to decorating, you don’t want to do that.

Same Styled Rugs

If you have decided to ignore the ‘higher decorating’ power’s commandant and have chosen to

put more than one rug in the room then ensure that the rugs are similar to each other. That

means they should balance each other. Otherwise you might end up with people feeling a bit

queasy in your home.

Use Rugs as the Central Point in your Home

Though there is no hard and fast rule which tells you where to and where not to put rugs; mostly

rugs look great at the central point of the room. Of course this is only applicable for bigger

rooms like the living room.

Round, Square and any other shaped Rugs

If you are looking to buy a rug then don’t conform to the age old tradition of buying square or

rectangular shaped rugs. Purchase one in a different shape! Nowadays almost every furnishing

store and online rug dealer has a wide variety of different shapes like round rugs and many

other amazing shapes. If you know that it will suit your room, then you can even cut the rug up

yourself into any shape that you prefer.
