Lowes.com How-To Tip: Creating Multipurpose Spaces

Many of us need to use an area in our homes for more than one purpose. For example, the living room often acts as an everyday gathering spot for family, a place to entertain guests, a space to watch television, an area for the kids to play, and even a room in which guests can sleep in a crunch. Use furniture, such as tables or upholstered pieces, to outline separate, functional areas of a room. A sofa can separate a reading space from a television viewing space. Use area rugs to help define areas within a room. You can mix rugs of different patterns within the same room as long as the colors coordinate. Using two rugs of the same size may tend to divide the room in equal halves. Unless the areas you want to create have equal proportions, select rugs of differing sizes to create more interest and contrast.
