A room with soaring ceilings and abundant space, like the great room in HGTV Smart Home 2017, needs a bit of grounding to keep from feeling cold and empty. Designer Tiffany Brooks chose this bold tribal print rug from Bassett’s Marrakesh collection to draw the eye toward the cozy seating area and wide, inviting fireplace.  

Here’s a closer look at the charcoal-and-tan print, which picks up the wood tones of the artisan-made square cocktail table. The plush pile of the rug feels amazing underfoot.

In the guest bedroom, the soft, antique-look area rug sets the color theme for an otherwise neutral space. And rugs aren’t confined to the floor—think of them as textiles you can put anywhere for effect. Here, a smaller Southwestern-themed rug is draped over the bed’s headboard as an accent.

The Navajo-style accent rug on the headboard echoes the textures and colors of the wall art.
