A guide for how to layer rugs

Rocky Luten / Food52

Rugs might be one of the simplest ways to add an interesting dimension to a room. "Rugs are perfect for defining a space and pulling in texture, pattern, or color to bring everything together," says designer Nicole Arruda.

Layering rugs, one on top of the other, is an even more interesting decor choice, whether you're placing an accent rug over a larger area rug or covering up that blah wall-to-wall carpeting with a piece that's much more your style. Layered rugs evoke coziness and warmth, and it's an especially great idea if you're someone who likes to switch up your space frequently: "Rugs give you the flexibility to make an easy swap down the road when you're ready for a change," adds Arruda.
