A single area rug is the perfect piece to ground your furniture and bring warmth, texture, and character to a space, but doubling up has its advantages to. Layering rugs solves several design dilemmas while also making a greater impact. Keep reading for six ways to layer rugs and take your space to the next level.
Unify + Define
If you have a large open floor plan yet want to define specific areas of your space use a room-sized rug in a neutral hue to tie the entire room together while grounding separate furniture groupings with smaller area rugs.

Add Structure
Layering an oddly shaped rug (like the cowhide above) on a rectangular piece will add structure to the curved edges helping to anchor the furniture around it.

infuse Style On A Budget
If you fall in love with a rug but the size you need is out of your price range choose the largest size you can afford while layering it on an inexpensive flat weave rug in the correct size.

Fake It Out
If you fall in love with a vintage rug that is too small, or can't find the perfect size for your space, layer the too small rug on a larger rug that fits the room to ground the furniture grouping and frame the smaller piece.

Pump Up The Texture
I am in LOVE with this look. To add tons of softness and warmth to a space without the rugs becoming the focal point of the room layer solid, textural rugs in the same hue.

Make A Statement
In a space mainly decorated with solids try overlapping several boldly patterned area rugs to create a modern eclectic vibe and bring warmth and character to the room.
