If your living room feels a little "off" but you can't figure out why, the issue might be your rug placement. π€
Here are a few quick rules that make a real difference:
ποΈ All front legs of your sofa and chairs should sit ON the rug, not float beside it.
π Leave at least 12 to 18 inches of bare floor visible between the rug edge and the walls.
π² In open floor plans like this one, use rugs to define zones. Each seating or dining area gets its own rug, letting the hardwood flow between them.
π¨ Layering two rugs adds texture and depth without requiring a bigger rug.
The floors and the rug should feel like they were planned together. When they do, the whole room clicks. π‘
