In the world of interior decoration, a rug is a must-have. More than just a decorative element, it defines, structures, and creates atmospheres. Let's see how to make the most of its potential.

Rugs are not just decorative items that add warmth and color to our interiors; they can also play a functional role in defining and separating spaces, especially in large rooms and studios. Additionally, the combination of different rugs can create an interesting visual dynamic, provided that some basic rules are followed.

Rugs: Your Best Ally for Structuring Space

Large open spaces, while modern and airy, can sometimes seem impersonal. The rug then acts as the ideal solution to create subspaces, without rigid partitions or barriers. Whether it's to distinguish a sitting area from a dining space in a loft or to define a play area in a child's room, the rug is the perfect tool. Think about the function of each area. A soft and thick rug is perfect for a relaxation corner, while a more durable rug is better suited for a dining room.

Choose the Right Style

Every ambiance calls for a specific rug! If your interior is dominated by light tones, natural wood, and minimalist decoration, a rug in soft and neutral shades with clean patterns will be ideal. Scandinavian rugs made of wool or cotton, in shades of cream, gray, or pale blue, will also add a touch of Nordic softness and simplicity to your interior.

Do you prefer warmth and authenticity? With its raw materials and ethnic patterns, the Berber rug will seduce you. These rugs, often made of wool, add a rich and refined texture to your room.

Keep in mind, however, that this style of rug quickly captures attention. So, if you opt for a bold Berber pattern, ensure the sobriety of other elements in the room.

Industrial ambiance enthusiasts may turn to raw materials like leather rugs or animal hides. There are very convincing reproductions available today. Geometric patterns, dark shades, and rough textures can also accentuate the industrial look and fit perfectly into a "Loft" style with metallic and concrete elements.

Finally, for those whose interior is a kaleidoscope of objects, shades, and travel inspirations, why limit yourself to a single rug? The Bohemian Chic style celebrates the bold mix of diverse elements, both old and modern. It's all about balance: juxtapose a soft rug with a rougher one for a texture contrast; blend geometric ethnic patterns with floral motifs; or combine earthy tones with bright colors. Anything goes.

Layering, the Trend of the Moment

Regardless of the style, rug layering has become an essential trend in interior decoration in recent years. Mixing textures, patterns, and colors, this bold approach instantly adds depth and dynamism to any space, transforming the floor into an original composition.

It also allows for creating an original space because it does not impose a single style but rather encourages discovering one's individual aesthetics by mixing what one personally enjoys. So, dare to layer and let your creativity shine!
