love for layered rugs

When we laid our cork floors in July, we both decided that it was necessary to have some rugs to warm up the space and create a little more definition in our ope floor plan. I really love the look of layered rugs and wanted to do the same for our living room. Here's two examples that I pinned of this exact look.

For our own take on this, we purchased a big jute rug from Pottery Barn. We got it for $299, which is a great deal for such a big rug. Then I searched around for an over-dyed kilim type rug for a good price. RugsUSA came through for me. I loved a lot of their colors but most of them were out of stock. Since I was impatient, I ended up picking one of the few that was actually in stock at the time, a rug with purply pinkish tones. It was a fortunate choice, since it really complements our new chairs.
