Rugs

Most new homes, whether bought or rented, seem to have more and more hard surfaces for floors. Most of the time, I love that for maintenance and appearance. But, a cold tile floor in the morning, or while you’re trying to enjoy an evening cocktail, is sort of a bummer.

I have a massive rug that sits under my couch as well as my coffee table: it’s the only clear indication other than the furniture and the lamps that my living room is a living room, but it makes the distinction clear enough to make it feel like a much more lived-in, homey space.
