Layering rugs gives a living room more texture, pattern, and visual warmth without changing the main furniture arrangement. A large jute, woven, neutral, or textured rug can ground the space, while a smaller paisley, geometric, floral, or blue patterned rug adds definition beneath the coffee table. These rooms show how different combinations work with sofas, fireplaces, plants, and wood accents.
