Like the idea of an area rug but don't want to deal with an actual carpet? If the answer is yes, follow the lead of designer Nanna Lagerman, who delineated the living spaces of an airy loft studio in Sweden with "rugs" made from white tape; spotted on Elle Interiör Sweden.

Above: White tape outlines a faux fringed rug; to recreate the look, consider Scotch White Electrical Tape; $4.91 at Amazon.

Above: The same idea in the bedroom corner of the loft (also note the headboard made from pillows, which rise in tiers like clouds).
