A living room rug can add texture to a room, make it look bigger (or if your rug isn’t correctly placed, smaller), and comfort underfoot. It can also tie a room together, making furniture and homewares look more purposefully placed. Finally, rugs can add zones to a living room, helpful for open-plan layouts.

For instance, if you add a rug under a dining table in a living room, it creates a ‘zone’ for dining, separate from a space where you might relax. Or you might want to add a rug under a work-from-home desk in your living room, to help it be sectioned off from the relaxing area of your living room.
