While there may be many reasons or occasions for layering rugs - solving spacial issues, creating contrasts, and/or quickly covering up a flooring imperfection - sometimes it's just plain fun! If you're in the mood for layering, here are three tips to help you make the best of it.
1. Reinforce: If you prefer the more simplistic designs, layer solid, lightly contrasting in color rugs to reinforce clean lines.
2. Draw: Have a little something special you'd like to highlight? Throw a vivid or brightly colored rug over a neutral toned floor directly under your prized piece. This will draw the eyes of guests to your object of affection.
3. Redefine: While layering rugs can define an area, it can also work to redefine one too. Create area "spill-over" or connect two spaces by layering one rug over another in a manner that allows the top rug to flow onto the original floor space - reaching far past the first layer.

Another "duh!" rule: address and approach all editors correctly. Never write just a first name or just a last name in the salutation line of your queries. Address an editor by his or her full name. Show respect. And you need to make sure you spell the name correctly (duh!). If an editor also has a middle initial, don't leave it out. If you are submitting online and the website does not mention the person who is receiving your query (the editor, the managing editor, a departmental editor, the art director), then this is one rule I break: I address the submission to the Editor-in-Chief or use a generic title (i.e. "To Editorial Staff").

Those layered rugs looks really good. They complement each other. Layering rugs is not that easy to do.

I keep reading about layered rugs, too. I'm always afraid that they'll be too bulky and people may trip over them. Glad to find some good tips here so that I can get that modern look to work for me with these stylish http://www.therugswarehouse.co.uk/designer-rugs.html that I've come across online. Thanks!

I think the photos you chose for this post are golden! Layering rugs isn't a design element that comes to mind first but it really can have a nice effect on the look and feel of the room.
