The most important item for setting the mood in a room? A carpet. It’s the finishing touch for any space. A rug provides atmosphere, warmth and works as a connecting factor in your interior. In this blog we provide you styling tips.
The ratio
Optically it is nice to choose a carpet that takes up about two-thirds of the sofa. You can choose to place the carpet in the middle, but sliding it to the left or right can also work very well. There are different options for the location of the furniture.
1: Front legs on the carpet
To create unity in the seating area, you can place the front legs of the sofa or chair on the carpet. This way you connect the furniture with each other and ensure a good balance between the furniture comes. This is a suitable arrangement for most rooms.
2: The carpet as an eye-catcher
If your carpet is already a real piece of art, you can also choose to leave the carpet free of furniture. This makes the rug the centerpiece of the room. In that case, choose a smaller size so that the seating area remains in proportion.

An outdoor carpet transforms your garden or balcony into an extension of your living room. It not only creates a warm and cosy look, but also feels wonderfully soft under your feet, even on chilly mornings or long summer evenings. Place an outdoor carpet under your lounge set or dining table and instantly create a snug seating area where you’ll want to linger for hours.
