![Style Tip - Let’s chat about rug combinations in an open concept home.
[AD] A good rug pairing helps create flow and cohesiveness to adjoining rooms so here are a couple tips to help you choose a complimenting rug combo in your home.
* One solid rug paired with one patterned rug.
* Choose a rug in the same colour palette to keep consistency.
* Mix two patterned rugs in the same style or same colour.
Whatever your style preference is, have fun, experiment, play with scale, colour, texture and patterns to see what you like best in your home.
My go-to is usually a solid rug paired with a patterned rug. That way they compliment each other but it does not compete. I shared this @rugs_usa rug a few months ago and it is a really great neutral+solid rug and it is also an excellent base for layering. I’ll link in my stories!
