Photos: A rug can make all the difference

Life

Besides being a gorgeous flooring choice, hard wood floors give us a wonderful, warm blank canvas to play with a wonderful New Traditional staple: rugs. TNS

Rugs complete a room by anchoring furniture to a specific area. With open floor plans being commonplace, it is especially important to be able to create groupings of furniture that feel like their own separate spaces. (Handout/TNS)

Besides protecting your floor from scratches (and your feet from touching the cold ground), rugs bring texture and interest to your spaces. (Handout/TNS)

One of our favorites is pairing a natural fiber rug (jute or sisal) with a beautiful vintage covering (or trendy pattern or fun shape – the options are limitless!). (Handout/TNS)

Rugs introduce fantastic color palettes to play with in your spaces. (Handout/TNS)
