Rug layering is a sophisticated design technique that adds warmth, texture, and visual interest to any room. At Wool+Loom, we believe that layering luxury handmade rugs is a perfect way to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere while showcasing artisanal craftsmanship. Here are expert tips to help you master the art of rug layering for a truly luxurious look.

Begin with a large base rug that anchors your space. Choose a neutral or subtly patterned wool rug from Wool+Loom’s collection to provide a durable, soft foundation. Handmade wool rugs are ideal for layering due to their natural resilience and luxurious texture.

Next, add a smaller rug on top to introduce color, pattern, or contrasting texture. Consider mixing different sizes, patterns, and weaves—such as pairing a plush rug over a flatweave—to create depth and richness. A bold or vibrant accent rug can become a stunning focal point, while a softly patterned piece adds elegance without overwhelming the design.

Pay attention to scale and placement. The top rug should be noticeably smaller, allowing the base rug to frame it beautifully. Leave some of the base rug visible around the edges to maintain balance and prevent overcrowding. Layer rugs under coffee tables, at the foot of the bed, or in entryways for a stylish, layered effect.

Maintenance is simple with Wool+Loom’s handmade wool rugs, which are naturally durable and easy to clean. This makes rug layering both practical and stylish.
