I'm gonna give you some tough love real quick: It doesn't matter how much effort you've put into your living room, it is simply not complete without a living room rug pulling everything together. Yes, your cloud couch dupe, perfectly ploppable reading chair, and fab drink table are lovely, but they're kinda just floating about without a chic rug anchoring them, ~uniting~ them, if you will. But, you knew that already, otherwise you wouldn't be here.
Or, maybe you just got your first apartment (yay!) and are literally starting from scratch. First, don't sweat—it's all going to come together. Two, might I suggest falling face-first in love with a bomb-as-hell living room rug, and then building out the rest of the room around it? You'd literally be starting from the ground up! And you'd have somewhere cozy-ish to sit until your furniture came in lol.
Either way, I'm here to help. In this here list of super cute living room rugs, I have indeed covered all the vibes—you’ll find modern rugs with geometric patterns, colorful medallion area rugs, neutral jute rugs, and a whole bunch more.
Best Living Room Rugs of 2023
And if watching an unholy amount of Hilary Farr and Joanna Gaines on HGTV has taught me anything, it's that you can really add some depth and visual interest by layering two rugs on top of each other. The warmth and texture this creates in a space is top-tier, and I guarantee all your friends will be wildly impressed with your ~designer prowess~ at your next game night.
