I think a lot of people have smaller rugs because they simply aren't cheap and the ones that are...look it! So, if you want your room to look good and balanced, you're going to have to splurge on your rugs ladies and gentlemen. The Hyatt Place Hotel looks really nice! I love how everyone was pitching in and helping.

My living room is right beside my dining area like Nina's. I only have a very small rug on the living room side. However, I've only found a great 9 x 12 wool + linen rug for the living room side. You've answered my thoughts on a rug under the dining table - none. Not only from a matching point of view, but I don't want to clean a rug with food on it all the time.

My parents always had a round rug under the dining table, and like Rebecca said, the back legs are OFF the rug, and then get all tangled up whenever any of us try to pull in our chairs. Ugh.

Your home, the parquet floors, + architecture, and your furniture & furnishings, including the luscious area rugs, are lovely, traditional, classic, + quality-looking (hard to tell from my tiny phone!). The pieces are beautiful. I get the feeling your home exudes -- "world-travelled", David Austen Roses, live orchids in the baths -- even from such brief glimpses. I'm getting the aesthetics of English country estates, Portugal. It's really lovely & sweet of you to allow your HOME to be critiqued in this forum! That takes a very secure and self-confident lady.

I can say I loved large area rugs until I tripped, and fell, and broke my wrist. I lost the use of my right hand for weeks and am still healing. The area rugs in my rooms, that enhanced the look of wooden floors, were then donated. Sometimes rugs that extend slightly beyond sofas, tables, beds, and so on can become trip hazards. This should be considered before purchasing any rug.

@jenniferlynn3537 Жыл бұрын

Rebecca, I am breaking SOOOOO many of your guidelines by building a [fake] corner fireplace in my square bedroom - AND angling the bed towards it! Due to a small corner window, my bedroom is off-balance anyway, and rather than fight the placement of closet and window, I’m embracing them so I can do a lavish window treatment (which would have been impossible had the bed been centered on the window wall) - while realizing my dream of gazing at a fireplace from bed. I don’t understand why corner fireplaces are so difficult to work around. They make iron-no/glue-on edging for carpets, so all you need to do is lop off a corner of a rectilinear rug to correspond to the lines of the fireplace, and you’re good to go. Alternatively, circular and oval rugs can be employed. 😊 ps ~ I’m still abiding your advisory as to the need for balance (if not actual mirrored symmetry) in the bedroom - and will ensure the “weight” of the furniture & decor are distributed equally on either side of the bed!

@EmorettaRobinson Жыл бұрын

Well this video answered a lot of my questions. I had wondered if the area rug had to be bigger than whatever was on it? Meaning big enough so that the sofa, chair and cofee table (and/or ottoman) and fit on it. I also thought Rebecca looked like she had lost weight. But I thought maybe it was the camera angle or just me. But I didn't know that the area rug could be used to add a pop of color to a room. So that's good to know.

@dmbalsam Жыл бұрын

We couldn’t find one bigger than 8x10. All the front legs do fit on it. We bought 2 one for the living part of the great room and the same size for the dining section. We can pull out the chairs without going off the rug, except when we use all the extensions.

@kimberlyperrotis8962 Жыл бұрын

I usually decorate rooms, or sets of adjoining rooms, based on a large piece of art or a patterned fabric, or especially, an area rug(s) that I love. I’ll use the same patterned rug in a suite of rooms, each properly sized. It’s nearly impossible to find a patterned rug, upholstery or art that works after everything else has been chosen. A patterned area rug will decide the color scheme, then I choose the largest, upholstered, pieces of furniture in a prominent neutral or basic solid, like navy, etc. from the rug. Wall paint and accessories like lamps, pillows and throws are available in any color, so are the easiest to add last. I like to choose one wood and one metal color for a set of rooms, and the same trim/molding color, at least, if not the same wall color throughout, these give continuity. I think, like you Rebecca, that symmetry is super-important, it has been wrongly ignored for decades. We are hard-wired to find symmetry appealing, starting with in our faces and bodies. It’s just going to be expensive to put in properly-sized area rugs, especially in the wool I insist on. Just get used to budgeting a big chunk of budget for these. Afterthoughts are always obvious.

I have a nice size formal living room with beautiful hardwood floors. This rule would never work for me as I have an 8x10 area rug with just my coffee table so our hardwood floors are the visual point and not the rug. Our furniture works nicely around the area. If you want all your furniture to have a rug under it, maybe just go for carpet. Our floors are a lot easier to keep clean and much nicer than a rug of any sorts.
