If your living room feels a little "off" but you can't figure out why, the issue might be your rug placement. ๐ค
Here are a few quick rules that make a real difference:
๐๏ธ All front legs of your sofa and chairs should sit ON the rug, not float beside it.
๐ Leave at least 12 to 18 inches of bare floor visible between the rug edge and the walls.
๐ฒ 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.
๐จ 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. ๐ก
