Rugs for your living room

A rug in your living room probably seems the most obvious place to style this piece of carpet. If you're lucky enough to have the original floorboards showing in your home, then a rug on top can look perfect! It adds a little bit of cosiness and hygge to a room, without completely taking away from the original features of the house. But don't forget a rug underlay to make sure you don't slip and slide.

But where about should you place a rug in your living room? The centre of the room can seem the most appropriate choice, perhaps with a coffee table on top as a central piece, but consider placing your rug under a chair or sofa. This can create different 'zones' in your living room.

A rug in your dining room 

Many dining rooms often have a wooden or laminate floor and they are usually placed in the same room as the kitchen. Therefore, it's quite easy to style a rug with your dining set as you don't have to think about the carpet already in place. Try placing a rug underneath your dining table and chairs to create another different 'zone' in the room. This idea works well in a joint kitchen/dining room and allows the dining table and chairs to feel like a completely different area, one where you can enjoy a nice meal with friends and family.

A rug in your bedroom 

You can never have too much cosiness in your bedroom. Even with a carpet, a rug can also look great in your sleeping space. Consider placing your rug in front of your bed or wardrobe as a central piece in the room, or even slightly tucked under your bed for an original look. This allows the flooring to be soft and cosy for when you step out of bed in the morning.
