Choosing a rug to define a space can be a functional and beautiful way to make a design statement. The right choice doesn’t have to be about colour – it can be a showcase for texture or an unexpected design. A textured rug in natural tones can add a sophisticated base and help to create a welcoming space. A printed rug made from soft, natural fibres can be the perfect foil for hard lines in furniture, and create a bold, assertive scheme. Layering natural fibres and textures adds another element. Have fun and choose a rug you love that is suited to the space. This will make the room feel inviting and well-designed.
