If there’s one thing I almost always start with when styling a room, it’s the rug. It anchors the furniture, introduces color and texture, and somehow makes everything else feel more intentional. Anthropologie's rug range has become one of my favorite places to look because its designs don’t just fill empty floor space — they bring personality into a room.
But knowing where to buy rugs is only the first step. The hardest part is knowing which style will suit your space best. As an interior stylist, I’ve learnt that the best rooms aren’t necessarily filled with expensive furniture — they’re layered with pieces that feel collected and tell a story. Through our product sourcing service, Find, at Design Lab by Livingetc, I spend a lot of time helping clients discover pieces that perfectly suit their homes, and a rug is often the element that ties everything together, whether you’re decorating a tiny apartment or a large open-plan living room.
