When shopping for rugs, chances are we are only thinking about a single purchase. Perhaps it's an area rug for a living room or an accent piece for a bedroom, or even a runner to bring interest to a hall. However, since seeing Lenny Kravitz's elegant Parisian apartment, we've fallen for a different way to style rugs – layering – which brings together a mix of textures, patterns, and details to create an intentional feature.
If you want to know more about how to layer rugs for a multi-dimensional and design-led aesthetic, read on, as I've called on the experts for their dos and don'ts. I've also curated a selection of monochrome rugs inspired by Lenny Kravitz's look, from a Moroccan-style lattice rug (Rugs USA) to a heavily patterned square rug (Bed Bath & Beyond), as well as some pieces to style them with.
