Open concept decorating : rugs
In our open concept home, rugs do more than just warm up the floors. They help define each space and bring structure to the layout. Our home starts with an entryway that flows into the living room, which is open to both the kitchen and dining area. From that main space, you can also see directly into the sunroom, which makes the entire layout feel wide open but still cozy.
Each zone has its own rug, including one by the back door, and even the sunroom rug adds to the layered look. None of the rugs match exactly, but they all stay within the same neutral palette of tans and browns. This keeps everything feeling cohesive without being overly coordinated. The varied textures and patterns create interest while the tones tie it all together in a way that feels natural and relaxed.
The only thing I’d eventually swap out are the grey kitchen mats. They’re the last holdout from an older color scheme, but they were pricey and super comfy, so they’ll be sticking around a while longer. For now, they still work in the space and honestly I do not mind the contrast. One day I will find something just as functional that fits the current color palette a bit better, but until then they are staying put.
