RUG UP

Rugs are an interior designer's secret weapon as they're able to transform a room in an instant, anchor a room, create cohesion, connect spaces and define areas. Here are some of the ways to use them at your place.

WHY RUGS?

To define a space

Open plan spaces can be tricky to carve out distinct spaces so using a rug will visually define an area.

A classic example is an open-plan kitchen/dining/ living area. Putting a generous rug under your dining table and chairs signals you're in the dining room and breaks up a sea of floorboards or tiles.

CUT A RUG

Lighter colours increase the illusion of space and darker shades will add warmth when choosing a hall runner.

Does size matter?

Most definitely. You don't want a small rug in a large room. It will actually make the room look smaller, whereas a generously proportioned one will make a room feel larger.

Plain or patterned?
