Decorating With Rugs — Interior Designers on What Works and What Doesn't in Your Home

Living room with seafoam textured rug with white coffee table, blue L-shaped sofa and teal armchair.

It could be said that rugs have suffered an injustice when it comes to the proverbial interior design leaderboard up to now. High up on the order is picking your favorite sofas and armchairs, or even deciding which wallpaper or paint sample to pick. In the process, these plush foundations fall much further down on the list of decision-making.

But the impact of decorating with rugs cannot be understated. Rugs present a sense of tactile and visual magic as they soften schemes and give our feet a warm welcome into spaces. Interior designers encourage us to consider these woven puzzle pieces early on the design journey to ensure a room looks and feels cohesive, comfortable, and well-proportioned.
