What if I love a rug that's too small?
Layer it. Because bigger often means more expensive, it can be tough to find the right rug in the right size (in your price range). So layer a small statement rug on top of a less-expensive one that covers more area. One popular combination is tight-weave jute or sisal under a showpiece. When layering, the bottom rug should be smooth so it's a stable base for the top one.
