Choosing the Right Rug for Open Floor Plans

Choosing the Right Rug for Open Floor Plans

Open-concept living is airy and modern—but without visual anchors, it can feel chaotic. At RUGIN, we help you define your space with the right rug placement and design.


🧭 1. Zone Your Spaces

  • Use different rugs to define the living, dining, or kitchen area

  • Avoid placing rugs that are too similar in adjacent areas


📐 2. Stick to Proportions

  • Rugs should sit comfortably under key furniture pieces

  • In a living room, front legs of sofas and chairs should sit on the rug


🖼️ 3. Coordinate, Don’t Match

  • Choose rugs with complementary tones or textures

  • Mix patterns, but keep one color theme flowing


🧼 4. Prioritize Durability in High Traffic Areas

  • Dining area rugs should be low-pile and easy to clean

  • Choose stain-resistant fabrics for open kitchens or near entrances


💡 RUGIN TIP:
A well-chosen rug not only grounds each space—it also creates a sense of calm and cohesion across the entire floor.
