How to choose the perfect rug size

Song: "Pretty" - Eyes Lips Eyes

[@DreamsMachine]

I personally would've stick with the 8x10. But I guess up to that point it's a matter of personal preference to go up to the next size. But this was very helpful indeed!

[@oltedders]

6x9 or 9x12, either is good. All on or all off. The 6x9 did a good job of pulling the elements together and still showed lots of hardwood. Informal, casual, relaxed. 9x12 with all of the furniture sitting on it gives a more serious look.

[@tishawnaxoxo]

This helped me to choose my living room rug. Thanks

[@absolutelyrugs2471]

I like the colors a lot throughout your living room at 1:50 Some tan, and nice blues as well.

[@nadial1131]

By all design rules the 8x10 would be perfect. Just the front legs of the furniture need to be on the rug. The last rug was too big! Might as well get full floor carpet in.

[@eizhowa]

"all design rules" -- Surely design rules are man made, so the rule proposed in the video is equally valid? So clearly "all" design rules do not require only front legs to be on the rug? (A full floor carpet won't create zones within a room. It will just give the room a different flooring, which is not the point of the rule proposed in this video.)

[@kimberly3908]

Nadia l that is just what I thought!

[@theandroids]

too big and too expensive.

[@Mayaspiral]

@@eizhowa the designed rules are there to mske things look more harmonious, spaciuos and balanced. The are not created arbitrarily, there are formulas that humans find to be innately aesthetica,lly pleasing. Of course you can break rules if that's your preference, they are only guildlines. I do agree however there is nothing wrong with have all the legs sitting on the furniture, this is also considered to be acceptable.

[@therugpal]

Great video!! The different sizes of the rugs give a great image of what it would look like in the room.

[@ladolerugs5894]

I personally would've stick with the 8x10. because you have beautiful hardwood floors don't need to cover all

[@ShootingStar466]

I agree, when its so big you might as well just carpet the room.

[@gyawunshop2402]

What about a round rug, won't that look great in here. For example ones on here www.etsy.com/in-en/shop/Gyawun

[@susanbrown6349]

great video and tips. room is so west elm which is my taste and my furniture. I am banking on an 8 x 10 retro print wool rug. thanks

[@surbhisingla6418]

My kind of mid century modern look. Love the room!! The final rug also looks great

[@qubafootbag]

you seem to by a happy couple loving each other, congratulations

[@sandyshealingjourney]

The first tiny rug example reminds me of how I decorate when I don't have people like her to help me be less awkward.

[@ob2be1]

She looks like Gweneth Paltro to me

[@LoveOfArt87]

I agree

[@nicholaschapman5232]

She looks like Uma Thurman, when she was in kill bill.

[@sarupi641]

And to me!

[@thinkingoutloud3358]

I’m thinking the woman from Good Girls or Kill Bill

[@datonadepizzol6510]

And a little bit like Christina Hendricks but with blonde hair

[@fefe88sa]

i liked the 8x10 size better ,, beautiful room tho and loved all the furniture

[@BH0889]

I love carpet and being barefoot. The 9x12 would be perfect for me, but I also loved the 8x10. Great video!

[@TheLoudrops]

Right so I'm off now to buy a much bigger rug! Great video and very helpful X

[@brendalovesmariah]

I am going to choose 8x10 for my living room, I recently received and new sofa and love seat , next month getting and coffee table and two end tables not sure which color of the rug my slip cover on my furniture is red

[@HealthyGroceryGirl]

Love that room! Beautiful! :)

[@memekodd]

It is nice. They made an effort to make it look a little too busy. I think it good they discussed getting an appropriate size rug for the room.

[@KarlaDreyerDesign]

+HealthyGroceryGirl such a great room and love the morrocan rug - perfect!

[@karajohnson7690]

How about tips on layering a smaller rug on top of a larger rug? This is where I struggle.

[@gottalottarugs]

I never stop rug hunting.

[@miahah1067]

That love you helped me so much🥰😘

[@iswaryanandini2171]

Live the elements of color here rather than all white trend recently

[@mustardpotatoes]

This was super helpful. Now I just need to watch a video on finding the right layout for a room. 😖

[@ur5860]

Same !💖💛💖💖

[@RabanABurr]

Just get a fitted wall to wall carpet.

[@ladeidralittle8817]

Hi Emily! I love your videos! However, I noticed that all the rugs in this video have an off white background within the patterns mostly. All the patterns look good with the hard wood flooring, but what color rug would you pair with white tile flooring? I'm having a hard time choosing. I would really appreciate your advice! Thanks!

[@MohdDanish-jk9ce]

Do you need rugs... I m manufacturer of all carpet and jute rug

[@jessicaaguirre1755]

This is great but what if my living room is one couch 🛋 coffee table, side table, book shelf and entertainment center? What goes on the rug and what doesn’t?

[@Seek-God-First]

Good information, it's very helpful ! Thank you !

[@danphxaz]

Where are the final rug and the blue sofa from?

[@sweetlouisee]

wheres the final rug from?

[@NousDecor]

Love this video!

[@piratepeak]

Love the final rug! Are you able to tell us where it's from? Online perhaps? I'm in Australia! Thanks x

[@Dany-G.]

Very helpful!!

[@fitwill73]

Great tips! Choosing the right rug size always messes me up. Btw, you look so much like Gwyneth Paltrow. Thought I would just tell you that. Lol

[@Watchoutforsnakez]

Where do I know her from? So familiar.💕 nice vid.

[@victoriasweet7870]

Is this what Apple Martin will look like grown up

[@glroiading]

You are so like KATE MOSS!!!!

[@ManuelMartinez-uv7ei]

Awesome, thanks for the video I wasn't sure what rug size but with the visual effect of seeing am getting 9' by 12' Oh, what kind of rug is it? I like how it unfolded so easily it unfolded.👍👍

[@nicolevelez6818]

Where did you get the final rug?!

[@danielcastelo]

Totally wrong size!!! You've got beautiful hardwood floors and yet you cover most of it with a 9x12. The 6x9 rug was the perfect size. It reaches the furniture.and brings everyone comfort. AND you'd show your floors.

[@KarlaDreyerDesign]

+Daniel Cruz No...bigger is better for rugs! I just did a you-tube on this very topic :-)

[@danielcastelo]

+Karla Dreyer Design honey, let me tell you something. you see big rugs being advertised, decorators, magazines , articles pushing big rugs.. of course they want to sell big... I've been working with area rugs for 6 years. the best is for the furniture, not for the room anymore. But if you wanna get sucked in, that's your problem.

[@Hyacinth600]

You're right dude....school them

[@hitxmark404]

rekt

[@HeatherRawVeganHenry]

What if you're trying to protect a really vintagey, really expensive to replace, wooden floor made in 1906? It's got a pattern of dark wood all throughout the honey colored wood.. so irreplaceable and I have kids..

[@jenuwineblu450]

This was so helpful . T.y.

[@farendor4780]

Looks more like a blanket

[@kristenhenryking]

I have a question? Do the rule applies to sectionals, especially if one side is up against the wall?

[@KarlaDreyerDesign]

+Kristen Henry King (decode hollywood) yes, I would still apply this to sectionals. I just posted tips on how to choose the right rug size - bigger is better!

[@tiffanygf88]

Love it! So great to see you and Orlando on camera together again :)

[@klmjtr]

What about the round end table that was half on half off the rug? 😆

[@skularatna8136]

What if you have open plan. Sofa living Tv area and also dining table

[@joaom2131]

[@msl5131]

[@seangoodrich7177]

[@tammy7423]

How do you know what the right size for a play room? Do you do 1 big one or for ea section smaller ones?

[@itsgbi]

i liked 8x10 tbh

[@Theheartographer]

This is an awesome video, Emily, but I have a troubling question! My fireplace hits at a weird spot in the room, such that if I center a rug for the conversation area, it isn't centered with the fireplace. This drives me crazy. Should I just ignore that and prioritize seating?

[@amritasingh6644]

I noticed the end table is partially on the area rug and partially off. I’m assuming that is OK? We are buying an area rug for our lanai and will come to this dilemma between the two sizes.

[@usatrendsnow]

best ideas

[@ClaudKaKeiYeung]

It's like an energetic Uma Thurman and a hot gay dude.

[@kevinespinosa150]
