If you have an open floor plan, you may be looking to define certain spaces in your home. Area rugs are one of the most affordable and creative ways to do this. With so many excellent options, including rugs from the Soiree Collection by Karastan or Cadiz by Feizy, you�ll have no problem creating the perfect design for your space. Read on to learn the best techniques for defining your spaces with area rugs.

For a living area with large windows and a high ceiling, you can use an area rug to anchor the space. When you choose the right rugs with the best size and shape for the room, you can create a cozy and inviting environment. 

There are several options you can consider to achieve this look. First, there�s a vintage style where you will need to choose a rug that allows all the furniture legs to rest on it. If you want a more modern appeal, a smaller rug is the right choice. In this case, only the front legs or none of the legs will rest on the area rug. A stylish option for either of these is the Dalyn Marbella Collection. 

Another great idea is to create visual interest with layering. You�ll need a larger rug for the base and then lay a smaller rug on top. If you want to keep them together, you can use carpet glue to ensure they do not separate.

Hallways often have multiple entrances and exits. Because of this, an area rug would be the perfect solution to creating a pattern for traffic flow. To increase the visual appeal, you�ll want to ensure you have at least 6 inches of clearance on each side. Consider options from the Ankara Collection by Kalaty or Nourison Prismatic Rugs to create a stunning space in your hallway.

Choosing one of the large Feizy rugs for your dining area can help define it when there is no separation between the space and the next room. You will need a rug that can accommodate the table and all its chairs. Pay particular attention to how much room you�ll need when the chairs are pushed back. You won�t want them to move off the rug at any point.
