If you think a rug hardly qualifies as a novelty item, these rug decorating ideas will surely change your mind. There’s so many ways a rug can complement and develop your home space.
In contemporary interiors, there’s no denying that the rug has been reimagined in many ways, translated as a way to enliven a room’s décor, furthermore making a bold statement about the type of lifestyle and luxury the home owner is accustomed to.

On Beds, doors, walls, floors, whether you decide to lay them down or hang them up, here’s a few tips and tricks on how to ace your rug game and set your home décor on fire in no time.
