Small rooms can be tricky. You don’t want to overwhelm them with furniture, but you also don’t want them to look bare. That’s where rugs come in handy. Rugs can change the feeling of your space to make it feel really roomy. Here’s how:
• Size
Large rugs can really anchor a room and the furniture in it. It may seem like the opposite of what you should do in a small space, but a large rug really brings a focus to a room, big or small.
• Shape
The best shape for a rug in a small room is round. Using a round rug will open up a room and make it feel larger.
• Prints
For small rooms, smaller is better when it comes to patterns. Large patterns will overwhelm the space and make it look smaller. Smaller prints are more proportional to the room’s size, so they’ll make it look larger.
• Colour
Try to coordinate the colour of your rug with the colour of your furniture, or something plain. Unifying the colours will make the space feel bigger.
