There’s no doubt open plan living is the most common design feature found in modern homes – though this hasn’t always been the case. In the 1950s, houses were considered grand when they possessed a large number of separate rooms, no matter whether their floorplan was large or small. However, homes today demand more from us and want us to embrace being together – not apart. By removing the physical barriers of walls and doors (which traditionally gave distinction to the different rooms in our homes), we have arrived at a sense of spaciousness in which to live. The only tricky thing left to master is how to style these vast open areas. What better way to do so than with us.

The same design are an excellent style element, as they create a cohesive space and result in free-flowing living. If you select our brand of different colour schemes, however, this works well to segment spaces in an open plan setting.

Open plan living is what floods our homes in natural light and gives a sense of spaciousness. But you also don’t want the room to feel clunky – and that is where we can help. Ask yourself, how do you want it to make you feel? For an energetic space, why not opt for something like a rustic Tribal Rug?

Their durable nature acts as a dirt repellent, and the density of their patterns can hide a multitude of sins.
Size Matters
When selecting the perfect rug to accent your open plan living space, be sure to get the sizing right. Anything too substantial will dwarf the room, and anything too small will make the space look cold and cavernous. Measure the front of your sofa/lounge and use its length as your guide. Ensure the Rug is a little longer than this and never shorter. When working in a dining space, the Rug must be a metre wider than the dining table. This allows you to be able to move chairs in and out from the table and still be perfectly positioned on the Rug.
