How-to: Snug as a Rug

Size does matter when it comes to area rugs

When an area rug doesn’t feel “quite right,” it can be because it is the wrong size or the furniture placement is not right. Many options work, and we hope these examples inspire you to refresh your room by simply moving things around. Of course, a beautiful rug makes all the difference and takes a room to the next level. According to Kathleen Mayers, founder and president of KPM Flooring, “The right rug can be the focal point of a room, like a piece of art, or it can complement your focal point or furniture. Flooring should be a part of the design or redesign process, not an afterthought.” Rooms and furniture vary greatly, so this is meant to be a guide to help you get your bedroom furniture layout “just right.”
