Using rugs in the house

If using broadloom rugs in the living room, have another one of the same fabric made to fit the hall.

When Orientals or any other individual handmade rug is used try to get a rug the right size for the hall which is related in color, form, scale and texture.

If this should be impossible to find, a plain rug the color of the background, or echoing one of the major shades in your patterned rug, can always be made for you from broadloom carpet.

In the small house, even though your hall is definitely not a part of your living room, it is often wise to avoid confusion and achieve spaciousness by continuing the same carpet anyway.
