- Now is the best time to shop for home design items, as January offers some of the biggest sales of the year. - Layering decorative rugs on top of carpeted floors can create a designer look, but ensure the bottom rug is low pile to avoid tripping hazards. - Using a plush, small Flocati rug in the bedroom can add comfort and contrast without overwhelming the space.
