Find The Right Look

With so many different styles of black rugs available at west elm, it can seem daunting to choose just one. First, consider the pattern and color scheme. Here are a few examples of styles that you can find in this collection:

• Monochromatic and dual-tone color palettes are popular decorating choices. Solid rugs work well with just about any decor. They unify elements of your decor and can complement the room's palette.
• Abstract patterns feature big, bold patterns and work well with modern decor.
• Distressed rugs showcase traditionally inspired designs that infuse your space with elegance, comfort and sophistication.
• Choose a solid rug that blends in for an unobtrusive look or bring in a bold pattern to make it a focal point of the space.

Choose a Rug to Fit Your Space

Before you begin shopping for a new rug, consider the size of each room and the room's furniture groupings. Then decide on a layout to best display your rug and your furniture. Here are a couple of examples of rug layouts to help you decide:

• All legs on the rug. This layout requires all furniture to be placed on the rug. It works well in anchoring a living room and creating a defined seating area.
• Front legs on the rug. This option works well when part of the furniture is placed along a wall.
• Coffee table on the rug. This layout works well in smaller spaces and helps make the room feel larger.

Versions of these layouts can work in the bedroom as well. Another popular choice for bedrooms is to place two runners along each side of the bed.
