Question:

Do I need an area rug for my living room? Are they just for decoration?

I am moving to an apartment that has hardwood floors. I've never had area rugs before, someone mentioned I would need one in my living room at least..?Thanks

Hi, okorder / Hope this helps.
It's not necessary, but they add a nice touch. I'm getting one too.
Though it is not necessary, rugs add a nice design touch to your space and help define an area. They add color and warmth. I think a room would look a bit bare without them. Your choice.
I have hardwood floors through out my home and I use rugs to cut down any wear and tear in high traffice areas! Plus they add color to your decorating scheme!
