When we think of it, a living room is not different from being the face of a house. It is where you welcome your guests. To some, it could serve as a gathering area for their family. Nevertheless, a beautifully decorated living room would really spruce up your home’s overall vibe and nothing truly represents a lovely home like rugs do!
Why rugs? Rugs are not only for aesthetical purposes, they also serve a practical purpose. They protect your flooring from getting worn. In the long run, cleaning your rugs periodically would save you more bucks and time than changing your entire flooring, won’t it? Plus, they give extra fluff and plush for your feet.
Though, finding suitable rugs for your living room might be tricky. That’s why we recommend preparing some things before you start the whole ordeal. First off, browse for area rugs for your living room. Second, focus on the harmony between the rugs in your living room, both size, and color-wise.
Right size, right rugs, the right fit for your living room
Choosing a rug for your living room is not that different from choosing the right pants. It needs to fit just right!
Area rugs usually come in four different sizes, 6×9, 8×10, 9×12, and 10×14 feet. Now, we need to do some math. The rule of thumb for rugs placement in the living room is to leave around 4 to 8 inches of the bare floor from each side of your rug. This is just the right measurement to showcase the beauty of your floorings. The inaccurate calculation could lead you to too much or too little flooring. Remember, you want to keep the balance and harmony.

A PERFECT SIZE FOR THE BEST AESTHETIC
Beauty is indeed everything when it comes to making a perfect home interior come true with our ATHENA DK91B-Y-XZDE.
Consider the size and placement of your furniture as well. You may want to have all the legs of your furniture inside the rugs. If it isn’t possible, try having at least the front legs on the rugs. Having the legs of sofas, chairs, and tables not fully placed on your area rug could throw off the balance. Thus, leaving you with an uncanny, unfinished look.
If you think the available sizes are ambiguous for your living room, know that you can always opt for custom-sized rugs. While not every store has such service, we at Artisan Rugs would love to assist you!
How about the colors and patterns?
When it comes to choosing the colors or patterns in your rugs, there are quite a lot of considerations to take. What color would complement the floorings? What about the rest of the furniture? The walls? Should you get rugs in darker colors to hide specks of dirt, or would you want to maintain a clean look for your living room? These are several questions that you might want to ask yourself first.

Go extra by getting more than one rug! Layering rugs might not be a common trick. But if paired well, it could result in an artistic and unique look. This trick is usually done for eclectic and boho decoration. People do this to bring more colors and patterns to their living room.
Layering rugs is also another trick to bring different vibes to your living room. Opt for one rug bigger in size to put on the bottom and pick up several different rugs in a smaller size to put on top of it. This way, you can change the overall look of your living room just by changing the top layer. You can always experiment with rugs of different colors, patterns, or even different materials for the top layers!
