Rug Layout Ideas For Large Rooms

We love choosing rugs for different rooms as per the style of decor, the size & the functional utility of the rooms but we always get confused while buying the right rug for the large rooms. 

So here we are with this simple yet classy guide to choose the right rug & the ideas for laying out the rug to create the best decor for your space.

The easiest & commonly used method is

USING A LARGE AREA RUG FOR THE ROOM

People generally prefer using a single large area rug for bigger rooms. Now this rug can be placed in a number of ways

a.     You can cover the entire floor area with a single large rug. You can also choose the colour of the rug such that it binds the entire room together by blending with the furniture & other articles.

b.     You can place the rug such that all the legs of the furniture sit on the rug & enough rug-space is left out to walk behind the furniture.

c.      The rug can also be placed such that it covers the entire room just leaving 12-18 inches of floor space visible on each side.

Another trendy option is

USING 2 OR MORE AREA RUGS

A number of people nowadays prefer creating 2 or 3 different sections in a single room with help of small rugs. For example 2 different sit-outs can be made in a single room by using 2 medium sized rugs; one each for each sitting. Similarly in bedrooms too a large rug can be placed under the bed & a small rug can be placed near the sitting area.

One of the recent trends is

USING LAYERED RUGS

Rugs can be layered in many different ways to give a cosier & warmer look to a large room.

You can layer similar rugs to create a harmonious look with the decor, or you can jazz up the room by choosing contrasting rugs in terms of patterns or colours.

To create a visual treat you can also layer patterned rugs in an overlapping manner. The blend of these patterns creates a captivating effect. While layering rugs feel free to experiment with shapes, try using two different shaped rugs for layering, this would create a focal point in the room grabbing all the attention.

You can use all these ideas while doing up a large room & the most important thing to remember is that, “don’t be afraid of breaking the set rules, after all it’s your home, your space. Adorn it the way you like”.
