As a rule of thumb, typically 60cm is enough room to allow for this. Our stylists also recommend keeping the rug away from the walls with a gap of 30cm at a minimum.<\/p><p><strong>When styling the rug in your dining room, centre the rug in the room and underneath the dining table to create symmetry and a visually pleasing layout.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48be96e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"48be96e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-pnuk8o2l3q\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/how-to-place-rug-in-dining-room-v2.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcd5c7f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fcd5c7f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8e6ab6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f8e6ab6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3.

To start layering rugs, we recommend choosing a neutral base whether it\u2019s the colour of the carpet or a minimalist large rug in a soft shade.<\/p><p>Next, bring in textures by bringing in contrasting shapes or using different fibres such as jute, flatweave, fluffy or a high-pile rug on a low-pile rug base. A high-pile rug refers to rugs where the fibres are tall and loose such as shag carpet. Low-pile rugs have shorter carpet fibres and tighter loops for a sleeker appearance.<\/p><p>Make sure the top rug is significantly smaller than the base rug to create dimension and leave enough of the base rug visible to create a framed effect.

For high-traffic areas, a dark rug is the perfect choice as its very forgiving on stains whilst light coloured rugs can brighten a room and make it feel more spacious.<\/p><p>A neutral-toned rug is a more timeless options that will stand the test of time \u2013 think your beige, grey, brown or cream tones for an always on trend look. Vibrant colours can be used as a style statement and to reflect common colours from throughout the home for consistency. Pick complementary colours to your space to create harmony or go bold with contrasting colours for wow-factor.<\/p><p>In terms of picking prints and patterns for rugs, we recommend choosing soft and subtle patterns for a more calming effect. Whilst busy prints and patterns in rugs can create a striking vocal point if you\u2019re looking to bring the wow-factor to a space. For example, geometric prints and bordered rugs are perfect for modern and contemporary interiors with their clean lines and structured style. On the other hand, floral and abstract patterns are great for relaxed, electric and artistic spaces.<\/p><p>Something to consider when selecting a rug with a print or pattern is its scale. Larger patterns will work well in expansive areas as there is more room around the rug to balance it out in the space. For smaller spaces, a small pattern is best!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4805ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e4805ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-pnuk8o2l3q\/images\/stencil\/original\/image-manager\/styling-tips-choosing-the-right-rug.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Three images showing the placement of rugs in living room spaces.\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfdde00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"cfdde00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f17737 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f17737\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Find the perfect rug for your space at Pillow Talk!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afeeec9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"afeeec9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With these simple tips and tricks from our in-house experts in rug placement and styling, you\u2019re ready to nail the design of any room in your home!
