I don’t know if I could do this, but some of these are just beautiful!! I like the woven mat like one on the bottom and a more decorative one on top… Now I just need a beautiful open home like these too ;o)
I love that combination too! I think they could be used in smaller rooms. I have never had a large home but I don’t let that stop me. 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by!
I’m with Kristin…I love the look of layering an animal-skin type rug over a traditional rug. Super chic and give the room an eclectic vibe. Otherwise, I’m a one rug girl.
I notice most layers include a natural fiber rug, but I want to layer a rug over my existing wool rug. Is that okay? Will it look fine? What are your suggestions?
I think you could layer over a wool rug, as long as the colors and patterns don’t clash. ALL of our rugs are wool, I would totally layer if I found the right “top” rug. 🙂 Is the pile on your’s thick?
What’s the best way to keep the top rug in place? I placed a runner over a section of the bedroom carpet for heavier foot traffic. BUT, I am constantly movi9ng it back in place.
Hi Pat! Check out this post for layering rugs over carpet (or other rugs). I think it’s a great idea and it won’t damage the rug underneath. Every time I’ve placed layered rugs, I’ve had furniture legs on them so they stay in place but I know that’s not always practical! Thanks for stopping by.

Totally obsessed with the second look!
Awesome! I love that one too. Thanks for visiting. 🙂

I think that one is a great option and seems to actually make practical sense for layering rugs. 😉
Great post. I love the Office layered rug.
Thanks Carmody! That one is my most favorite. 🙂
I never really thought about layering rugs, but after seeing all of these, I’m feeling so inspired! What a simple and elegant and fun idea! Love it!
What a sweet comment Tiffany!! I love discovering ways to break the traditional rules. 😉

Hi Lauren, check out this post. I like that she doesn’t use velcro or something that could potentially hurt the carpet. Best of luck!
How do you stop the rugs from moving?
