As a general rule, the only time smaller rugs or runners work well with big rugs is if the larger rug occupies the entire room, almost acting like wall-to-wall carpeting. What tends to be most successful is a larger neutral rug as the base layer and a patterned rug or textured rug on top of it.\u003C/span> \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003Cdiv>\r\n\r\n\u003Chr />\r\n\r\n\u003C/div>","/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/House-Beautiful-Whole-Home-primary-bedroom-2025-3.jpg","Kathy Kuo Home","2025-12-22T09:00:49Z",[13,14,15,16],"Home","The Designer's Handbook","Living Room","Bedroom",[18,19,20],"design ideas","design","design tips",[],[],{"title":24,"description":25,"keywords":26,"canonicalUrl":27,"noIndex":28},"How to Layer Rugs Like an Interior Design Expert","Wondering how to layer rugs?
