Patterned rugs offer multiple benefits for your furniture layouts. Use them to highlight hues in your color palette for a coordinated look, or browse abstract prints or classic motifs to boost the look of contemporary dining rooms or traditional sofas and chairs. Or, simply add a patterned rug to your bedside so you can step on a soft, warm surface instead of cold hardwood floors in the morning.

You can also use patterned rugs to liven up neutral spaces. Large 7 x 10 rugs with a bold print or subtle pattern are a lovely foundation for tan or gray living room seating, while runner rugs add visual appeal to off-white hallways. Look for patterned rugs with crisp geometric prints for modern monochrome living rooms, or opt for distressed designs for beige shabby chic layouts.
