How To Lay A Rug With Diagonal Space

Diagonal rugs break up floor space and draw the eye to furnishings you are highlighting with them.

How to lay a rug with diagonal space.

Diagonal doesn t have to mean a loss of symmetry. For large bedrooms set rugs between pieces of furniture to cover empty floor space. For example lay a rug between the bed and dresser in front of your closet or wardrobe or add a chair to an empty corner and place a rug in front of it. Use the proper rug pad for your rug to avoid slippage on a wood floor or carpet.

Too small and the rug floats like a shrunken island with the unmoored sofa and untethered chairs bobbing awkwardly somewhere near it. The entire room will seem smaller and disconnected. In an oddly shaped room a sofa and rug placed on a diagonal visually expands the space. Here are some helpful tips on how to arrange a new area rug.

Using diagonally placed rugs to cover corners or the entirety of your living room floor is a great alternative to custom carpeting. But get a huge area rug that dwarfs the seating area and spills over into the open dining space or edges the entry and you lose any definition in the room. Placing your bolder patterned rug under a favorite armchair will make your space feel cozier as well as putting a fun slant on traditional rug use. An optimal size rug in a shape that best suits a particular living space will help to invigorate the entire aspect of a room while also displaying the finest qualities of the rug itself.
