Like any other aspect of home living, that can vary from season to season and year to year. However, one thing that seems to be universal is rug trends for small spaces. We\u2019re talking about those who live or function in places that are limited in their square footage. Here are some ways of maximizing style while embracing these rug trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/rugs\/primary-color\/navy-blue-and-blues\/shape\/round\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-4-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-4-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-4-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-4-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-4-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-4.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shape<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though various rug shapes cycle in, out, and in again through the revolving door of d\u00e9cor trends, one shape has remained consistently trendy in the world of small apartments: round <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/\"   title=\"rugs\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">rugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is that, exactly? Because a round rug does&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/what-round-rugs-can-do-for-your-home\/\">several things for your home<\/a>. The main benefit of a round rug is that it can make a small area&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/the-4-ways-round-rugs-make-a-room-feel-bigger\/\">feel much bigger<\/a>. When decorating with a rug, it\u2019s often helpful to focus on contrasts. In this case, the angular lines and corners of your walls combine with the round edges of your rug to create the illusion that your floor is longer and wider than it is. The result: the room feels much bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Color<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you ever feel an odd fight-or-flight response when walking into a small room? While many misplaced design elements can create feelings of claustrophobia, few things can make homeowners feel more antsy than a dark-colored rug (especially if that rug stretches all the way to the walls).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One easy way to banish the feeling of claustrophobia is to use color psychology to your advantage. Strong, bold colors such as reds, oranges, and yellows create feelings of heightened energy that work well in large open spaces, but make small, enclosed rooms feel too crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In small rooms, it\u2019s best to stick with lighter shades of blue and green that evoke calm and serenity. Pastel shades of pink and purple also work well, as do lighter neutral shades like ivory or beige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/rugs\/primary-color\/beige-and-ivories\/pattern\/all-over\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-5-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-5-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-5-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-5-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-5-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rug-Source-Template-5.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Layers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the rug industry, there is an emerging focus on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/the-art-of-mixing-matching-different-types-of-rugs\/\">layering<\/a>. This includes mixing and matching shapes, textures, and design patterns in rugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might think rug-layering would make the space feel overcrowded, but this is a surprisingly effective trend for small apartments with an open floor plan. For example, to make a cramped studio apartment feel like a room in a classy beachside suite, you can use a sisal rug as your base, then layer one or two rugs in pastel blue or teal on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find trend-setting rugs at Rug Source!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of the three trends that we mentioned today \u2014 round rugs, calming colors, and lovely layers \u2014 can easily be purchased from our online retail store.
