Rugs and carpets are a great way to spice up your living room décor and change the look of your room. Throw on a couple of casual dhurries on a relaxed evening or an expensive Persian carpet when you are entertaining formally.

For an ethnic living room, throw on a couple of mats with pretty zari borders. A couple of throw cushions and floor cushions would complement them well. This arrangement makes for comfortable seating especially if you have surprise guests.

Remember, the idea is to attract attention to your floor. So don't go with something dull and lifeless. Instead try a floor accessory that contrasts with the rest of your décor.
