Chaleureux: How to Position & Style A Rug

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to update your home decor, a rug can make all the difference! But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right one? And once you have it, how do you position and style it to really make it pop? Fear not, because we’ve got you covered with our ultimate guide to choosing, positioning, and styling a rug for your interior.

Choosing the Right Rug

First things first, when choosing a rug, you need to consider your space. What size is your room, and what type of flooring do you have? If you have hardwood or tile floors, a larger rug can help define the space and add warmth. If you have carpet, a smaller rug can be used as an accent piece.

Next, think about the style and colour of your decor. Do you want a bold statement piece or something more subtle? Do you want to add a pop of colour or keep it neutral? A patterned rug can add interest to a room, while a solid colour can ground the space.

Finally, consider your budget. Rugs can range from affordable to super expensive, so figure out how much you’re willing to spend before you start shopping.

 

Positioning Your Rug

Once you’ve found the perfect rug, it’s time to position it in your space. There are a few general guidelines to follow here:

  • In a living room, the rug should be large enough to fit under all the furniture in the seating area. Remember to leave a few inches of space on all sides though.
  • In a dining room, the rug should be large enough to fit under the table and chairs. You do, however, still want enough room for the chairs to be pulled out without catching on the edge of the rug.
  • In a bedroom, the rug should be large enough to fit under the bed. It should extend out at least a few centimetres on all sides.

Styling Your Rug

Once your rug is in place, it’s time for some styling! Here are a few tips to make this process simple…

Layer it

Layer your rug with other textures and patterns for a cosy, bohemian look. Try layering a smaller rug over a larger one, or placing a sheepskin rug on top of a flatweave rug.

Accent colours

Use your rug as the jumping-off point for your colour scheme. Pull colours from the rug and use them in your decor, like throw pillows, curtains, or artwork.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match rug styles.

A traditional rug can look great with modern decor, or a bold, graphic rug can add interest to a more traditional space.

Play with the angle of your rug. Instead of laying it straight, try angling it diagonally or off-centre for a more dynamic look.
