Know this: you need the right size
The biggest mistake most people make is to buy a rug or runner that’s too small or even too large. You should at least be able to anchor it by placing it under the front legs of the sofa and other furniture, but there should never be more than an 18-inch extension. If it’s too small, it will distort the room and the furniture. If it’s too large, it will just overwhelm.
Know this: they can be used to divide a room
Like any other flooring, take measurements and plan; how does it fit in with the furniture and the room layout? You want to be sure to create balance with the positioning. Of course, the rugs also need to coordinate. While it’s not necessary to match, you do want to be sure the area has a sense of unity. Bedrooms can be tricky; after all, how can you anchor it with a bed? Simply use two runners so there’s one on each side to create balance and scale. Well placed rugs not only separate but add color, texture, and visual interest.
Many of today’s homes have open layouts where one big space can house both the living and dining room. That’s especially prevalent in a condo or townhouse, as well as in small areas where people want to create an office area or library in a corner
