~layering rugs~

Layering rugs is one of my favorite things to do.

It adds so much interest to a room, whether the floor is hardwood or carpet, layer away!

I recently got a new rug for under our zebra hide in the dining room.

The old one was dirty and dingy and I wanted to try something with a little more grey hue to it to go with the slate floors.

I chose this rug in a 6x9 size from Natural Area Rugs.

{Right now they have a special going on for $25 off a purchase of $100 or more PLUS free shipping!}

It's soft underfoot and thinner than the other rug we had there which works great for layering.

I love all the different textures and neutrals.

And here's a little more layered rug inspiration for ya!

This would be a great idea if you have a family heirloom rug and want to keep it in tip top shape, or if you have an old rug with a ripped or worn out middle area.

Here are a couple tips for layering rugs:

1~Use a flat neutral rug for a base if you are nervous about too much color or pattern.

2~If you are using a hide on top, try angling it for more interest.
