How to Layer Rugs Like a Designer
Layering rugs isn’t just a trend—it’s a timeless design trick to add depth, comfort, and personality to any room. At RUGIN, we’re seeing more customers explore this creative styling method. Here's how to do it right.
🎯 Why Layer Rugs?
-
Warmth & Texture: Great for colder floors or open-plan homes
-
Visual Interest: Instantly adds dimension and style
-
Zoning: Helps define different areas in large spaces
🧵 How to Layer Like a Pro
-
Start Neutral, Add Pattern
→ Use a large neutral base rug (like jute or wool), then layer a smaller patterned rug on top. -
Play with Shapes
→ Layer a round rug over a rectangular one to break symmetry. -
Mind the Size Ratio
→ Keep top rug ⅔ or ¾ the size of the bottom rug. -
Mix Textures
→ Pair flatweave base rugs with fluffy or high-pile accents. -
Use Color to Anchor
→ Let one rug connect to the room’s palette; use the other to pop.
💡 RUGIN TIP:
Layered rugs work best under coffee tables, beds, or in reading corners—avoid high-traffic zones to keep them in place.
