One of the easiest ways to update your home décor for a new look is to add a stunning rug. If you have a large room, you can use more than one rug to define spaces for specific activities.
Use Area Rugs to Define Spaces
You can change the look of your room by adding more than one area rug to define different spaces in a room. It’s important that the rug is large enough so that it enhances your room décor. Before you start shopping for an area rug, you need to determine the rug size you need, so you don’t make the mistake of purchasing an area rug that’s too small. Consider the room and rug’s purpose before your measure and buy.

Living Room
A living room might also double as reading area, traditional sitting room, or game room.
Reading Area
In a living room, you can section off a corner space just for reading with a small area rug. A round rug with a pair of wingback chairs or a single chaise lounge will soften the sharp corner of the room and define the space.
Sitting Area
A large area rug can define the sitting area in front of a fireplace or TV. The best look is for the furniture to be on top of the rug. If this size covers too much of wood floors you wish to show off, go for a size that allows the front legs of the furniture to rest on it.
Another choice is to use the rug as a centerpiece in the room and place it in front of the couch with none of the furniture legs resting on the rug. For the best look, the rug should at least be the same length as the couch or largest focal piece of furniture.
Game Table Area
If your living room is large, consider a second rug, either a small square or rectangle shape, that is ideal for a chess table with two chairs. If poker is your table game, then opt for a round rug for a round table. Make sure that the rug is large enough to allow chairs to be moved in and out from the table without falling off of the rug.
