Best space to use this is for an accent wall in a living room or bedroom.

2. Statement rugs

Rugs improve the look of your room by giving you extra color, warmth, and texture.
They can also mark the division between areas in either a studio or an open-concept apartment.
Consider using multiple rugs at different sizes and/or textures if you want a ‘designer’ look.

3. Wall art and gallery displays (no nails needed)

A gallery wall that is curated properly will help to develop a sense of home and develop the character of the room in which they are located.
