5 Small Rugs to Elevate Your Interior Design From the Ground Up

Small rugs can be the ideal choice if you're looking to spruce up your space with a unique design flair. Choosing a small rug for this purpose eliminates the hassle of remodeling or taking a bigger, more expensive risk with larger design items. Even though they're small, these rugs can still make a statement in your home, depending on their color, texture, and design.

A carefully chosen small rug can enhance your home's décor, creating a decorative look in whatever theme you're going for. It can also create a contrast in smaller spaces and even add depth to the room. And if you have a dark corridor or a room corner that needs lightness, a small brightly-colored rug can help with that too!

What Are Small Rugs Good For?

There are great benefits to having small rugs in your home, as they have plenty of uses—they're handy for layering rugs, they can serve as a focal point when combining rugs in open floor plan spaces, or simply add to the décor and design of your space.

On a more practical note, a small rug can also help lower the risk of injuries from slipping. For example, young children love to run around, so a small rug in their playroom can provide safety and prevent mishaps. In addition, small rugs can be used in open spaces to designate specific areas. Their uses are many, so if your home could benefit from a nice small rug, see our following list of 5 top small rug picks to elevate your interior design.
