Layered Rug Ideas

Before I share some beautiful layered rug ideas I want to give you some tips on shopping for rugs for your layered rug design.

First, you will need at least two rugs to get a layered look. I recommend a standard doormat for the top layer and then a small rug as the bottom layer. I recommend at least three inches around the edge.

However, I have seen larger under layer rugs and they look beautiful too. The main thing is to keep the under rug at least three inches more than the mat.

Okay, so now that you know how to shop for a layered rug let's get started curating some ideas for your front door.

Hyland Homestead

This welcome mat sends the message that home is where the heart is. If you love the farmhouse look, take some notes from Brittney's layered rug.

If you already have a welcome mat and a solid color rug but want a cute rectangle pattern on your rug, check out our post How To Make An Easy DIY Rug Out Of A Drop Cloth And Chalk Paint. We show how to use chalk paint on material and you could get this look on a plan rug with ease.

Cara just released a post on Modern Farmhouse Porch decor and in her post, she shares about this layered rug idea.

This jute rug looks great with the buffalo check welcome mat on top.

Remember when we mentioned that layered rugs could be used in holiday decor? This fall layered rug idea by Angie is beautiful!

This is a simple and sweet fall porch. The layered rugs add to the decor. The look encompasses everything that is a fall farmhouse like the neutral colors and wooden sign.

The black and white color palette on Morgan's front porch is classic. This striped rug topped with a welcome mat that greets visitors is simply perfection.

Simply adding a few fall elements transforms this layered rug into fall. Once Christmas comes all she has to do is change out the fall decor for Christmas and like magic she has a Christmas porch.

Julia has a farmhouse Christmas porch here. Don't be surprised if the definition of such a porch in the near feature includes a layered rug in order to be considered a true farmhouse porch.

This layered rug idea is lovely! It will bring joy to all that cross its threshold.

This merry & bright layered rug look on Joina's Christmas porch is precious. Using a buffalo check as the under rug is perfect because you can just change the top welcome mat and create a new look.

We promised that we would include an indoor look in this post. Nicole shows us her living room with layered rugs.

Our favorite thing about layering rugs is that you don't have to settle on just one favorite. You can combine two favorites and pull off a great look!

Light Hearted Living

Meghanne has match up two neutral area rugs in her living room and stacked them. They look amazing together. Even the different textures look as though they would feel phenomenal under your toes.

Spring Layered Rug

Now for layered rugs, I have created at my house. Let's start with this one I created in springtime for spring porch decorating ideas.

This layered rug set is made from a custom bleached drop cloth rug I made. I stenciled the design on it with outdoor acrylic paint. This rug is very durable and I share more in the last layered rug set on how to make and paint your own rug.

This year I decided to add some style to my bottom layer so I made these tassels and added them to a bleached drop cloth. I really like how it turned out but my kitty seems to like the most because he keeps playing with the tassels. LOL!

Christmas Layered Rug

This layered rug set is all homemade. The top layer is I stenciled the writing on a doormat and the bottom layer I chalk painted stripes on a dropcloth.

Patriotic Layered Rugs

I love decorating our porch for holidays and independence day is a favorite. This layered rug ensemble is made of a rug I found on clearance at Target and the same mat like the one for spring.
