3 Ways to Make Your Rug Look More Expensive

Nothing grounds a room like the right rug. But luxurious, one-of-a-kind styles can be prohibitively costly. Luckily with a few simple tweaks, it’s easy to give an inexpensive rug a designer upgrade. Take a look. 

1. Layer it.

Large vintage rugs can be pricey, so opt for a smaller, more budget-friendly option like an antique-inspired runner. Then, layer it over a neutral area rug made of jute or sisal.

2. Pad it.

If your rug is flat and thin, place a thick, nonslip rug pad underneath. This will lift your rug from the floor, giving it a plush, more luxurious look.  

3. Flip it. 

To get the vintage look for half the price, take a patterned, high-pile rug and flip it over. You'll find that most plush styles are fashionably faded underneath.
