The living room of #TheBellevueResidence
An area rug can truly make or break home decor- the wrong size or style can lead to something just feeling ‘off’ in your space. Most living rooms need an 8x10 rug at minimum, with larger floor plans requiring even bigger dimensions. Think of an area rug as the foundation of your room, the base off of which everything else should be selected. An area rug grounds your space and dictates furniture placement, decor style, and more.
When choosing an area rug, make sure to consider the overall tone you want to set for the room- and don’t forget to measure! In case you need a bit of inspiration, we’ve rounded up our top eight area rugs of the moment.

Looking to upgrade your decor? Make a statement with this Kravet area rug. The smokey blue, abstract design makes the perfect backdrop for a unique space.
2. Make it modern
This Jaipur Living area rug is the perfect jumping off point for a new room design. The modern vibe paired with rich earth tones opens a world of possibilities for complimentary decor.
