6. Add Rugs for Warmth and Comfort
Rugs can completely change the look of a living room and kitchen. They add warmth, color, texture, and comfort. A rug can also help define different areas in an open-plan home.
In the living room, place a large rug under the sofa and coffee table. Make sure the rug is big enough so that at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs are on it. This makes the seating area look connected and cozy.
In the kitchen, use a runner rug in front of the sink or between cabinets. Choose a washable and non-slip rug because kitchens can get messy. Patterned rugs are a great choice because they hide small stains and add personality.
Decor Tip
Use similar rug colors in the living room and kitchen to create flow between both areas.
