It anchors an area, distinguishing one space from another, especially in an open floor plan. It absorbs sound, is warming and soft underfoot, and can be the sole decor piece that makes a room design feel whole.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">So it\u2019s not surprising that selecting the right area rug for your space is super important. To help, we&nbsp;give you&nbsp;three important tips<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>and a little design inspiration to find that perfect rug.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>1. Keep It to Scale<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Contemporary-Living-Room-Picharat-A-19-large-e1445365803984.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Contemporary-Living-Room-Picharat-A-19-large-e1445365803984.png\" alt=\"Contemporary Living room area rug\" class=\"wp-image-2627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Contemporary-Living-Room-Picharat-A-19-large-e1445365803984.png 738w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Contemporary-Living-Room-Picharat-A-19-large-e1445365803984-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">In general, people buy rugs that are too small. Yes, 5x7s and 6x9s are cheaper than the larger sizes, but investing a bit more can make all the difference between an awkward floor covering and pulling in a room design perfectly. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">B<\/span><span class=\"s1\">egin with measuring the seating area and select a rug the closest size up from that. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Designer tip: make sure that your rug has at least 6-10\u201d on either side of the sofa to frame your furniture in an appealing way. If you have a a smaller rug that you just love, solve the size problem with layering a larger sisal or jute rug underneath for added coverage. Keep in mind, the orientation of a rectangular rug can influence the shape of the room and square rugs make a room feel square. Round area rugs are great for an entry way or to place under a round dining table.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Rug-selection-round-area-rug.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-2603\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"927\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Rug-selection-round-area-rug.jpg\" alt=\"Round area rugs\" class=\"wp-image-2603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Rug-selection-round-area-rug.jpg 927w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Rug-selection-round-area-rug-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">So, how much of the furniture should be sitting on the rug? There are varying opinions on this. One designer tendency for <i>living rooms<\/i> is to commit to all legs on or all legs off if possible. With <i>bedroom layouts<\/i>, it is recommended to have the bed sit on 2\/3 of the rug. Alternately, place runners on either side of the bed or just one at the foot of the bed like in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/design-a-room-online\/april-s-fun-eclectic-bedroom-1406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s2\">this eclectic bedroom design<\/span><\/a>. In dining rooms, your rug should be 4\u2019 longer and wider than your table so chairs can slide easily without falling off the edge of the rug.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/eleni.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2623\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/eleni.png\" alt=\"White area rug\" class=\"wp-image-2623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/eleni.png 460w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/eleni-248x300.png 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>2.

Often, an interior design can be greatly influenced by the style of the rug. For example, an Oriental or Persian rug in a living room says traditional or global while a shag or flokati rug lends to modern and eclectic spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Living-Room-Emily-W-5-large-e1445368065114.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Living-Room-Emily-W-5-large-e1445368065114.jpg\" alt=\"Living room area rug\" class=\"wp-image-2634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Living-Room-Emily-W-5-large-e1445368065114.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Living-Room-Emily-W-5-large-e1445368065114-300x197.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">In terms of color, a neutral rug acts as the perfect blank canvas to layer textures and patterns in the form of furniture, lighting, and accents. Solid rugs compliment decor that is patterned: say, a striped sofa or floral duvet cover. Keep that in mind for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/living-room-rug-ideas\">living room rug ideas<\/a>. Similarly, with solid or neutral furniture, a lively or playful pattern enhances the design. One foolproof color coordinating design tip is to match the secondary color in your rug to the featured furniture piece.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3. Material Matters<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/contemporarybedroom.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2626\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/contemporarybedroom.png\" alt=\"Bedroom area rugs\" class=\"wp-image-2626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/contemporarybedroom.png 730w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/contemporarybedroom-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Being mindful of the amount of foot traffic in a room&nbsp;helps in determining the material to select&nbsp;for your area rug. For hallways and living rooms needing adequate floor protection, pick rugs&nbsp;that can endure more wear and tear. Natural area rugs like hemp, sisal, and seagrass are all tightly woven offering durability for high traffic areas.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Transitional-Living-Room-Anna-T-3-large.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2630\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Transitional-Living-Room-Anna-T-3-large.jpg\" alt=\"Living room area rug\" class=\"wp-image-2630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Transitional-Living-Room-Anna-T-3-large.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Online-design-Transitional-Living-Room-Anna-T-3-large-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\">For more color and pattern, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westelm.com\/?cm_type=gnav&amp;cm_sp=GlobalLinks-_-Topnav-_-WestElmLogo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kilims<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wayfair.com\/Dhurrie-Rugs-C516050.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dhurries<\/a>.
