Rugs were the in thing a decade or so ago, but they can actually be a unique addition today. Not many properties will have a rug over the top of their carpet, and that’s because carpets today are more stylish and there are more options.

Back in the day a rug would be used to merely cover up a stain, or add a bit of cosiness to wooden flooring, but having it as the centrepiece in your living room underneath a coffee table can be a nice touch.

If you have a large living room you may just want to have a rug that stands on its own, perhaps being situated by a stove or a fireplace, and there are plenty of modern and traditional designs to choose between. If you want to add some character to your property, then a rug may just do the trick, and it can really liven up your living room compared to just having a plain carpet.
