Guidelines for Positioning Furniture on a Rug
There are a few guidelines to consider when positioning furniture on a rug to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and functional arrangement.
-
Large Rug: If you have a large rug, you can place all the furniture legs on it to create a unified look.
-
Smaller Room/Smaller Rug: However, in a smaller room or with a smaller rug, it's best to place just the front legs of the larger furniture pieces on the rug. This helps create an illusion of more space and prevents the room from feeling cluttered.
-
Seating Areas: Additionally, for seating areas, ensure that all the furniture pieces can comfortably fit on the rug and still allow for ease of movement.
-
Balance and Composition: Balance is key, so consider the rug's size and shape in relation to the furniture to create a visually appealing composition.
-
Personal Preference: Ultimately, personal preference and the overall style of the room should also guide your furniture placement decisions on the rug.
