What is the best black rug for you?
Black area rugs should be selected based on a few general factors.
Position.
Black area rugs are commonly placed in the following positions in popular areas: living rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms.
Living Rooms.
Black area rugs can be a great addition to your main seating area. If your room is smaller, you could use a smaller black rug or even a runner.
Dining Room.
Black rugs are a natural fit in the dining room when centered beneath the dining room table. You can always choose a different shaped rug if you want something more abstract and less subtle. Rectangular rugs work well under rectangular tables, and round black rugs work well under round tables.
Bedroom.
It's not uncommon for rectangular or round rugs to be placed under the bed and extend into the rest of the bedroom. Other popular arrangements include centering a rug in the room itself or placing a black runner alongside the bed.
