Your flooring choices say a lot about a room. However, even the nicest hardwood flooring can start looking drab after a few years. Rather than settling for underwhelming flooring, many homeowners and renters alike are opting to layer area rugs to accent their interior décor and add a sense of style. Though at first glance layered rugs may seem like a challenge to pull off well, it’s simpler than it looks. 

How to Pull Off Layered Area Rugs

1. Consider What You Want to Highlight

Layering brightly colored pieces on top of neutral flooring will draw the eye to a particular part of the room. For example, if you want to highlight the sofa or a piece of artwork, place a colorful rug just in front or underneath it.

2. Don’t Be Afraid to Mix & Match

Not all interior elements need to be coordinated to pull the space together. Don’t be afraid to combine patterns, colors, and textures to create a unique look. Keep in mind that picking a single color to tie the rugs and the rest of the room together can help keep things from clashing. That said, if you like a particular look or pattern and want to incorporate it into the room, go for it! 

3. Play With Textures

Though plush carpet is wonderful to lounge on while watching a movie, it’s not always the most practical, especially for heavy-traffic rooms. Instead of picking area rugs solely on their softness, play with textures. Layer a tightly woven carpet over a large flat jute rug to create a unique textured look to the space without making it more difficult to clean.
