A small area rug helps define the space.

(And don’t let the bottoms pool.

They should just graze the floor.)

Use Mirrors Strategically

Mount a mirror opposite a window.

Its the best way to bounce light around and give the illusion of a bigger room.

Ideal height to hang a mirror is 60 inches from the floor to the center of the mirror.

Keep Rugs Grounded

A rug should never float in the middle of a floor.

Place it under at least the front feet of a chair, couch, or bed to anchor it.
