Most floor coverings are multifunctional, serving to designate a specific space or grouping, infuse personality with color and pattern, and bring warmth and cushion to hard-surfaced floors. Often, a rug can be the impetus for the color scheme and overall design of a room. They can also be used to cover floor damage.

In a dining room, select a rug that extends 2 1/2 to 3 feet from the edge of a table so that chairs can be pulled away from the table and still remain on the rug. Select more durable textiles for high-traffic areas such as family rooms.

Outdoor Paradise
Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
