While layering rugs can be done with any design style, today we are going to focus specifically on layering rugs to create a modern farmhouse look. Creating warmth through texture, and contrast with a black and white color scheme are the hallmarks of modern farmhouse style that we will rely on to pull off the layered rug look. By layering simple striped or checkered black and white rugs on top of a medium brown jute area rug, a warm, simple and textured farmhouse look is achieved.
