A look at layering rugs with Nazmiyal
Layering is a well-known interior design technique. Place decor, accessories, and colors on top of each other and watch your room grow in depth and personality. Layering rugs is the next big thing in interior design. Placing two or more Rugs on top of each other creates beautiful textures and interesting color palettes.

A fantastic vintage Kilim rug and antique Bakshaish rugs were layered on top of each other for that extra wow-factor. Juxtaposing the colorful kilim styles with Bakshaish designs create a playful and beautiful eye-catching design.

Layering Rugs: Dear Interior Design Trend, We’re mad about you.
Layering rugs on top of other rugs is the ultimate trend to have fun with in 2017. In fact, its been in vogue for a while now, making this our second feature on the eccentric look!
There are multiple reasons why we love this look. For one, if you have a small rug that you love but it’s too tiny for the large interior you would like to use it in, you can simply layer it with a large rug, or multiple smaller sized rugs! Mix and match Antique rugs from around the world, or go on a Kilim rampage and cover the floor in a collage of tribals.
Layering rugs is also a great way to protect wall to wall carpeting, which can be a pain to replace. In addition, you can use layering rugs to delineate a certain space such as a sitting area from a walking area. In conclusion, layering rugs opens the door to infinite decor options, expanding your possibilities to a broader more playful spectrum.

Layering Rugs On Top Of Other Rugs – The Interior Design Trend Continues!
Layering Rugs On Top Of Rugs — Sometimes trends seem to exist for the sole purpose of making leading a stylish life more difficult: for example, an ultra-modern, all-white-everything interior looks incredibly chic — as long as you’re willing to forego the use of your rooms in favor of keeping them immaculate.
But sometimes, trends and pragmatism align to give us modern decorating ideas that are as useful as they are attractive. Case in point: this years’ leading flooring trend, layered carpets.

Designers across the web are singing the praises of this trend, not only because it gives rooms a uniquely styled look, but also because it solves a myriad of design dilemmas. Did you fall in love with a rug that’s too small for your space? Layer it on top of a complementary-colored carpet, and you’ve got a dynamic look that makes your beloved piece the center of attention.
Need to carpet an awkwardly shaped room, but hate the look of wall-to-wall? Layer several small area rugs in the room to fill up the floor space. Wishy-washy when it comes to making design decisions? Layered rugs are incredibly customizable — if you get bored of one rug, just swap it out for another, and your space is brand new! Below, we’ve assembled some inspiration for layering rugs from the Nazmiyal Antique Rug Collection‘s vast inventory of vintage and antique rugs. We hope these collages inspire you to get creative with your carpets!
