Lay out conversation areas
In open floor plans, rugs are a wonderfully foolproof way to delineate conversation spaces. The large natural-fiber rug in this sitting room provides a firm foundation that ties together the room, while hide rugs layered on top help to demarcate the sleek seating area from the formal piano corner. It’s a particularly clever tactic if your furnishings veer toward the eclectic, as the common thread of layered rugs in each area can help unify the styles and designs.
