Rug Tips to Make a Small Space Look Bigger

Rugs for Small SpacesIn small spaces, it can be a challenge to create a balance between delineating zones and preserving as much of an open, airy feel as possible. Recently, as we have been adding some truly gorgeous smaller rugs to our collection, we’ve been inspired to share our best tips regarding how to decorate a small home or apartment using oriental rugs. For everyone embracing living in smaller spaces, including apartments, tiny houses, and small open-concept minimalist lofts—today’s recommendations are for you!

Geometric Rugs | Use Pattern to Your Advantage

When you think about delineating between two spaces within your home or apartment, you may jump to color first. It can be easy to add rugs in contrasting colors to create zones but staying within your established color scheme may help create this desired contrast while preserving the feeling of an open space.

Define Your Space with Oversized Rugs

By laying a rug that occupies nearly the entirety of your living room, it will instantly feel like a distinct, pulled-together zone

Distressed Rugs | Be Bold and Intentional

With the bold pattern and time-softened colors combined with just the right amount of age wear, our Distressed Rug Collection is poised to impress. Kelly Wearstler used several vintage Turkish rugs from our Sivas Rug Collection to furnish many of the Proper Hotels.

 

Get Creative- Diagonal Rug Placement

You may choose to use larger rugs to create zones, as we discussed above, but in this kind of space, may we suggest one from our Gallery Rug Collection? Place it at an angle to the walls, then place a statement chair on it at that same angle. Add your current read (the thicker the better), a lamp, and a plant on staggered drum or log side tables, and you have an arresting and inviting space in which to spend your weekday evenings.

 

Hang a Rug as Art
