6. Define Zones with Rugs and Lighting
In open or multi-use small spaces, defining different zones helps create structure and organization. Area rugs are a great way to visually separate spaces like a dining nook or seating area.
Layering lighting also helps define zones. Use pendant lights above dining tables, floor lamps near reading corners, and soft ambient lighting throughout. The right combination of rugs and lighting ensures your space feels cohesive but not crowded.
Tip: Choose rugs with subtle patterns and light tones to enhance spaciousness while keeping the layout organized.
