A living room rug can add texture to a room, make it look bigger (or, if your rug isn’t correctly placed, smaller) and add comfort underfoot. It can also tie a room together, making furniture and homewares look more purposefully placed. And finally, rugs can add zones to a living room, helpful for open-plan layouts.
For instance, if you add a rug under a dining table in a living room, it’ll work to create a ‘zone’ for dining, separate from a space where you might relax. Or you might want to add a rug under a work-from-home desk in your living room, to help it be sectioned off from the relaxing area from your living room.
