Many of the newer homes have wood flooring and great rooms. That open floor space is highly appealing with its light, airy feel and openness. The decorating challenge is that people add their furniture and accessories, and still, their home does not feel finished. A rug pulls a room together and anchors it to a particular purpose. Rugs add that comfortable feel that is often lacking in a home with all wood flooring; they also cut down on the sound in the house.
