Why a Rug Matters in Interior Design
Beyond comfort, rugs play an important creative role within interiors. They define rooms within open-plan homes, soften tones and introduce pattern, texture and colour in a single setting. Whether minimalist or expressive, a well-picked rug can transform the mood of an entire room.
