Tips for Choosing the Perfect Checkered Area Rug for My Living Room

[jopit]

Hello everyone.

I'm thinking about adding a checkered area rug to my living room to enhance the aesthetic, but I’m not sure where to start. Can anyone share tips on choosing the right size, colors, and patterns? 

I’ve seen a variety of options, but I want to make sure the rug complements my existing furniture and doesn't overpower the space. Also, any advice on materials and durability would be appreciated, as I have a busy household. 

Would love to hear what’s worked for you or any design ideas you recommend! 

Thanks in advance!

To add a checkered area rug to your living room, choose a size that either fits under all furniture legs or just the front ones. A checkered area rug can complement your space perfectly. If your room has bold decor, opt for a subtle pattern in neutral tones; for a minimal space, go for a bolder design. For durability in a busy home, synthetic materials like polypropylene are great, while wool offers softness but needs more care. Stick to a low or medium-pile rug for easy maintenance.
