Which rug to choose – big or small? A clear answer from the designer

More and more people are choosing small-sized items from the range of carpets available in the store.

As a rule, small rugs are placed in front of the sofa or to the side of the bed, however, according to designer Yulia Tychino , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, this decision often backfires.

The whole point is that small flooring visually narrows the walls, which creates a “dollhouse” effect.

Instead, when choosing textiles, follow this rule: the smaller the room, the larger the rug should be.

Don't be afraid to buy a rug that's the size of the entire room.

In this case, there is only one nuance to consider: the distances from the walls should be within 30-40 cm.

Finally, here’s another useful note: carpets not only can, but should be used to divide a room into zones.

Thanks to such a product, you will be able to highlight an area intended for work or, conversely, for rest, a “reading” corner, a dining area, and so on.
