It increases your decorating options. Placing two small rugs that feature complementary colors and designs will create a cohesive, calming look. On the other hand, placing two rugs with contrasting colors and designs will give the space a completely different look. Think about the look you are trying to create before choosing your rugs.
Layer A Small Rug On Top Of A Large Rug
Layering rugs can give your space a wonderfully unique look. You have several options when it comes to layering. Again, what you choose will depend on the look you are trying to create.

If you choose your rugs carefully, just changing the way they are layered will allow you to change the look of your room without any additional investment.
Hang A Small Rug On The Wall
Most small Oriental rugs are intricate works of art with elaborate motifs and patterns in fabulous colors. These little masterpieces work wonderfully as wall décor.
Hanging a small Oriental rug is an easy and inexpensive way to turn a bare look into one that is rich in color and beauty.
Why restrict yourself to just placing a small Oriental rug over a bare space by itself? Use one or more of the ideas above to show off your décor skills and transform the look and feel of your space.
