How to Choose a Rug for Open-Plan Living Spaces in the Philippines
Open-plan homes are common in the Philippines, especially in modern condos, townhouses, and family homes. Rugs help define separate zones, improve layout flow, and make large tiled areas feel warmer and more premium.
1. Use Rugs to Separate Zones
- Living area
- Dining space
- Workspace
- Entryway
Each rug creates a visual boundary within the open layout.
2. Choose the Right Size
Open spaces require larger rugs to anchor furniture properly.
- Living room zone: 160x230 cm or 200x290 cm
-
Dining zone: 160x230 cm (4-seater), 200x290 cm (6-seater)
3. Use Color to Define Zones
Choose rugs in complementary tones, not identical designs.
- Neutral living area rug
- Textured or patterned dining rug
4. Choose Climate-Friendly Materials
- Oeko-Tex fibers
- High-density premium synthetics
- Machine-washable rugs for dining zones
