Two Area Rugs Side By Side
Make sure you line up the edge of the carpet first.
Two area rugs side by side. Although these two area rugs are very different they re compatible because they share a similar color palette. If your two rugs are the same size and if the patterns and colors play well together lay them down side by side so that the long edges are touching to make one big rug as seen here in a new york city loft from designer david howell of dhd architecture interior design. Then press the rugs together to make them appear as seamless as possible. If the span falls short or runs over the allotted space reposition tape to reflect the exact parameters.
Apply the tape to one side of the rug. In making rug decisions for a room another approach would be to bring in multiple area rugs. 9x 12 rug but this only gives 13 of rug on either side of the bed. This can be very effective when the room is large with more than one seating arrangement.
Line up the pattern of the other rug and lay the rugs as close together with the tape as you can. Unroll each rug then lay them out side by side to ensure they properly fit inside the mocked up area. Many rugs are off by half an inch to two inches. Had one been a modern geometric or overtly lower in quality than the other this wouldn t have worked as well.
If it s a simple woven rug without a backing it will quickly unravel once cut. You may not even have to cut the sides you want to join together if they already look seamless when side by side but if you do need to cut the rug make sure it s the kind where the fibers are individually attached to a backing rather than woven together.
