Give Cold Feet a Happy Place
"Layering rugs is an affordable and fun way to continually change things up in your home, or to add festiveness during the holidays. The bottom rug should always be proportional [
to your sofa and space] and fill the room. Typically that means an 8x10 or a 9x12 for your living room. If you use a natural-fiber rug, like a sisal or a jute, it creates a neutral background to layer a smaller rug on top of it. Have fun with pattern, color and texture. You can even use two to three rugs to give a room a lived-in, eclectic look."
