Rugs are an easy way to make an immediate, impactful statement in any room or simply add comfort underfoot; THE RUG FURNISH believes choosing the appropriate rug can completely change its interiors.
Here’s how you can use floor rugs like an expert and add flair and dimension to any room with their presence.
Define and Separate Spaces
Rugs act as organic dividers in open-plan homes, delineating areas without the need for walls or other boundaries. Position one under your sofa set to define the living area or under a dining table to define an exclusive dining zone. Having just the right size and placement creates a feeling of order without walls or partitions being necessary.

Add Warmth and Comfort
A soft, plush rug makes any room cosier; bedrooms benefit from it by creating an immediate feeling of cosiness when stepping out of bed, while in living rooms it helps conversations become more intimate and relaxed.
Tip from THE RUG FURNISH: For an indulgent aesthetic, lightweight cotton rugs offer comfortable padding without overheating your space. In warmer climates, opting for wool, viscose, or blended textures may bring more luxuriousness than thick wool pile rugs can.
Explore Colours and Patterns
A rug can serve as the focus of an interior space or act as the perfect canvas on which all of its elements can come together seamlessly. Add energy with vibrant patterns in a neutral room, or complement colourful spaces with neutral tones for balance.
Tip from THE RUG FURNISH: For small rooms, lighter colours create the impression of more space; darker or patterned rugs work great when adding depth in larger areas.

Improve Acoustics
Hard flooring often produces echos that make a room sound harsh. Rugs absorb noise to help create a calmer, more peaceful environment–something especially important in living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices.
Tip from THE RUG FURNISH: For maximum sound absorption and an eye-catching, multi-textured look, layer rugs to achieve maximum sound absorption and create a stylish multi-textured effect.
Experiment With Layering Layering rugs is an increasingly popular design trend. Combine patterned ones on top of neutral ones to add depth, contrast and visual interest in any space.
Tip from THE RUG FURNISH: When layering, one rug should remain neutral while the other stands out to avoid visual chaos.
Seasonal Rug Swaps
Just like changing curtains or cushion covers, swapping out rugs seasonally will refresh your space. Opting for bright, airy rugs in summer and cozy rugs during winter can keep your interiors feeling in tune with each season’s transitions.
Tip from THE RUG FURNISH: Keep two or three versatile rugs on hand so you can quickly switch up your decor throughout the year.
