This winter, let rugs transform your interiors into a haven of warmth and sophistication. More than a practical layer, rugs anchor your furniture, create depth, and introduce refined texture to every space. From oversized designs that command attention to intricately textured pieces that add a cozy touch, the perfect rug becomes the foundation for winter-ready interiors. Explore our curated guide to choosing a rug that aligns with your style and the season.

Oversized Rugs: A Statement of Grandeur

Oversized rugs create a cohesive look by covering expansive spaces, leaving only a foot of flooring visible around the edge. These rugs are ideal for open-plan living areas or large dining rooms, effortlessly tying furniture together. Opt for muted patterns, geometric designs, or soft textures that blend with the surrounding decor while making a bold statement.
