Tommy, who has been the biggest supporter of the interior design industry at Layout, shares his highly subjective theory on styling as a way of giving back.
accent
You are free to choose how and where to place the rug.
You can use it as an accent in your favorite place, or you can enjoy hanging a small tribal rug on the wall like a tapestry, just like displaying your own one-of-a-kind painting in your entrance or living room.
And that's not all!
Try removing one of the rugs from the wall and placing a flower vase on a sideboard, or placing it on a bedroom nightstand and placing a table lamp on it.Because it is a small rug, you can enjoy using it anywhere you like and decorate it as you like, and it will add an accent to your life that will enrich your life.
Lay the compact sizes one on top of the other, or space them out a little to create a natural flow of traffic.
It creates a very rhythmic atmosphere in the room.
It's fine if it's just because you like your rug and want to put it in a prominent place, or because you want to add a little color to that corner.
There is no right way to lay a rug.
In addition to laying rugs in the living room or dining room, there are many rugs in the home that can entertain us in various ways and create relaxing spaces.
For those of you wondering, "What are the different ways to lay it?", we'll introduce some of them here.
The most private space
You want the place where you spend your mornings and evenings to be the most relaxing place possible.
It's a luxury to place a slightly elongated tribal rug next to your bed or at your feet, and feel the soft touch of wool at the first and last moments of your day, before you go to bed and when you get out of bed.
That warm feeling you get on a cold winter morning when it takes a little effort to get your feet out of bed and get up.
On a hot, hot summer night when it's difficult to sleep, just having a moment of dryness on your hot feet before you get into bed can help you fall into a good night's sleep.
Enjoy the resort atmosphere of an overseas hotel,
We transformed it into a nostalgic bedroom that looks like something out of a French movie.
Because it's a private space, you can enjoy creating a luxurious setting to your liking.
But that's not all.
Placing a rug from the bedroom door to the bed will also provide soundproofing so your footsteps won't disturb your loved one's sleep.
I think being able to pay attention to the small details is one of the reasons why you can relax and get a good night's sleep.
Be the hardest worker in the house
We also recommend a runner-type rug for the kitchen.
The kitchen is a place where you spend a surprisingly long time cooking and cleaning up, and for those who love cooking, it is an important place that is even called a sanctuary.
You want this sanctuary to be a place where you don't get tired.
It's easy to overlook this when cooking, washing dishes, and other tasks require close contact with your hands, but your feet may also be at risk of walking back and forth within a certain area, or standing in the same place for long periods of time.
It's surprisingly easy to get tired, and your feet are also prone to getting cold.
Since space is limited around the kitchen, a long, narrow runner-type Gabbeh is soft and gentle on the feet, and most importantly, it is resistant to water and dirt, so there is no need to worry.
Many people say they are worried about getting it dirty, but once they learn how stain-resistant Gabbeh rugs are and how fluffy they are, they often end up choosing one as their second or third Gabbeh rug for their kitchen.
If you're still worried, just choose a color that won't show dirt easily, such as a calming blue or a colorful panel pattern, and you'll have a special kitchen that you can really appreciate.
Your kitchen might be so cozy you'll find yourself humming while washing the dishes.
Zoning
One of the important roles of a rug is zoning.
You can easily zone your room with a rug without having to use a bookshelf to create a divider or a sofa to separate the living room and dining room, so you can freely arrange your room however you like.
In the same living room, you can place your favorite tribal fabric in front of a single-seater relaxing chair and create an important corner where you can immerse yourself in your own time by reading a book or listening to music.
Relaxation space
Place it in front of a bay window in your garden or on your balcony and relax with your pet while basking in the sunlight pouring into your home.
You can also create a space in a corner of the living room where your children can bring out their toys and play.
Not only does it prevent toys from scratching the floor and soundproof, but the fluffy wool may even allow you to take a nap together.
A showcase of style
Even if you live alone and don't have many rooms, you can easily create zoning with just one rug.
You can completely change the atmosphere of a one-room apartment by creating a relaxing space in front of the sofa with a Gabbeh, a workspace for work or study with a Tribal pattern under the table, or a space to check your appearance with a smaller Tribal pattern in front of a full-length mirror.
Creating the ideal room
Arrange your room in your own way with your own ideas...
Without overthinking it, I feel that as thoughts like "I want to do this" or "I would like the room to have a rug like this" accumulate and connect, the result will be a one-of-a-kind home with a high level of awareness that permeates every corner.
And such a house is exactly the kind of house you want to return to.
I hope you will weave a story from your life through your rug.
