Rugs can also be a good place to bring in a pop of color. Some rugs can also be layered for added texture. If you have a beautiful wood floor, we don’t want to totally cover it, so just use rugs as a soft accent under your feet. Leave your walk ways open. When placing your rugs, a good rule of thumb is to have the front legs of your furniture on the rug. This helps to bring your eye into the focal area.
