[@LisaHoltDesign]

That's a great request!! 🤩🤩

[@DS-zj2on]

I love that even though you are highly trained and educated in design, you give budget options. This is true interior design, dealing with the reality of where people are. I bet you don't expect everyone to throw out every single thing in a room so you can design it. You work from where they are. ::smile::

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Exactly! Design is really about understanding project parameters, then. Finding solutions that work! 🙌🏻😘

[@claraniniewski2045]

This is a great video thank you for all the tips Lisa! I have one question, what is the rule for area rugs in open plan living rooms (with 3 functions: kitchen, dining and sofa/TV) that aren't big spaces. Do you keep to just one area rug where the sofa & coffee table are? And do you still make it around 6inch wider on each side of each piece of furniture going on it? Or can the area rug be a little bit smaller?

[@wilmabier-yanes9485]

Thank you, I learned a lot about how to choose the right carpet!

[@Freesingskills19]

i made the mistake of getting a rug that was too small for an already smallish room. when i replaced it with a larger black and white zebra stripe rug, omg, it changed the size and personality of the room. so much better, now! just found you...really enjoying your videos and in agreement with your advice.

[@suzew609]

Love that you’ve said an area rug isn’t required under a dining table 😊. I just can’t imagine trying to cleaning up after the spills and general debris that would be inevitable, so thank you for saying it isn’t required! Do you have any videos that deal with rugs in awkward spaces? I have a smallish room that’s part corridor from hallway to kitchen, with the walkway essentially a diagonal across one edge of the room. It’s a really unbalanced space with a single door on one side and a double door sized opening on the other in the wall. The room is small so furniture is just pushed against the walls .... it’s really a troublesome space that’s giving me a headache! Any guidance on how to find a solution and make the space feel from content in videos would be amazing! Thank you ☺️

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Suze!!! I TOTALLY get this - depending on your situation, some pieces just don't make any logical sense! 🙌🏻 An area rug under a dining table is a perfect example! 😂💖 As for the awkward spaces, I don't have a video on that topic yet - but I'll totally put it on my list!! 💚👍🏻 I'd love to do an awkward spaces series - everybody ones got a few of them! 😂💚 Thanks for this suggestion, and thank you so much for watching!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

You’re awesome too, deft! When you move a lot, it’s hard to make commitments… Consider getting an area rug that’s cut to the size you need from wall-to-wall carpeting. This will be an expensive, wear well, and won’t break your heart if you have to lose it for the next place🙌🏻👍🏻😘

[@francescareese7118]

I'm just adoring you! Watched about 10 of your videos just this morning. I have all hardwood on the first floor and do have a more open concept. I was the one that mentioned a few minutes ago in a different one of your videos that I decided on a less expensive couch and went with the Soderhamn corner sectional which seats 6 comfortably vs. my destroyed RH. I thinking going with a hide rug at an angle (to warm up the space) as I have one in my entry and it's bullet proof with my animal!! Essentially, I would try to get a very large one and angle it as I don't want a sectional, a square coffee table and a large area rug that is semi square/rectangle. I'd just place it at an angle. We are empty nesters so two ppl living in a large home. However, being raise a Vegan I struggle with it!!! My husband purchased our entry hide rug 8 years ago and it is completely indestructible and I morally struggle with it, but holy cow :) it's been a trooper. We were fortunate it did not cigar and had no patching. I just don't know a decent vendor I can get one from that won't cigar and won't be patched on the top surface and my husband doesn't recall where he got it. Perhaps you think I might just go with a basic rug that mimics the same shapes of the rest of the furniture? Do you know a reputable vendor for cowhide rugs?

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Hi Francesca thanks so much for your kind comments! I'm so glad you've joined the channel! I know what you're saying about the cowhides, so you'll one want to stick to an American supplier. They have bigger hides than European suppliers. You could also consider a fake one, several of the vendors at the end of the rug video will carry the faux version, however, in my experience, they don't last as long.

[@coloradocorri]

How do you deal with electrical outlets in the great room floor? How do you accommodate the outlets when installing an area rug?

[@LisaHoltDesign]

First you get the Electrictian to bring over the outlet in the floor. Many ways to do this. You literally run you cord under the rug/mat and cut and X with a sharp knife on the underside of the carpet and thread the electrical cord through. Because it’s carpet, your unlikely, carpet depending, to see anything. 🎉😘✌️👌🏻

Thanks for you help. Lisa

[@choirguy100]

Great video addressing the size, functions, and materials of area rugs. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the relationship between the rug and the type of flooring (material and color of the floors) and room decor. This has more to do with style than function, perhaps, but I’m often conflicted about whether I should choose a rug that contrasts with the floors and really stands out, or something that’s more subdued and doesn’t draw much attention and basically just serves the functions you described in this video. My furniture pieces are very simple (clean lines, mostly solid colors), which I complement with colored pillows, throws, and other accessories. I feel in my case the rug could go either way so it’s difficult to make up my mind. Any tips?

[@LisaHoltDesign]

I personally like textured area rungs vs. ones with big patterns, although it sounds like your space could handle it. If you want the rug to be the focal point, pick something with lots going on. If you've got other things art, etc that you want people to focus on, keep it quieter...Hope this helps, and we’d always love to see the before/after shots at [e-mail]!

Lisa, you said it's good to put a mat or underlay under the area rug, but didn't say what the purpose was. Is it to hold the rug in place, or is it to make the rug more comfortable on your feet?

I love this video, very helpful. I know its been a while. However im seeing a jute carpet tile. You were saying they are good for high traffic area. I love the one which was a caramel color and it had a star like design. Was that costum made, and would I be able to find it? Its perfect for an entryway I'm doing.

[@robinbailey3927]

Love your channel Lisa. If your sofa is against a wall (small room) do you put the rug all the way against the wall or just enough so the rug goes underneath the front legs of the sofa? So confusing.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Tthis is the one place you can cheat a bit… The rug should be 3/4 underneath the sofa, you can give it a little space at the back as the sofa is against the wall. However, if you have end tables, make sure they are completely on the area rug.

[@alexpal1495]

Do we really need rugs? Is there a way to have a rugless home? And if yes how you compensate for the luck of warmth a rug gives?

[@crystaldaley7850]

Would it be okay to put a rug under our bed but that starts after the nightstands? You had a photo of an example but you also mentioned to have it under all of the furniture. And if not would it be weird to have the rug only go half way under our nightstands? We have a king size bed and our nightstands are 30in wide so in total it would be about 14ftwide so it can fit under the bed and nightstands$$$ thank you :)

This was totally helpful & enlightening! Lol, “dinky ass rug...” 😝makes sense 😋👍

[@LisaHoltDesign]

LOL B!! 😆 Just telling it how it is!! 😂😂 I'm SO glad I could clear a couple of things up on this HUGE topic - choosing a rug is NOT easy!! 💜 LOVE hearing that these videos are helping you guys...absolutely makes my day!! 🥰💚

[@realbeauty938]

How refreshing, finally someone who breaks down the rug world! Super informative,thank you!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Hello. I discovered your channel yesterday and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Been putting off area rug purchasing because I didn't know what sizes so this vid was perfect. On to a question for area rugs in dining room. Do you add 6" with chairs pushed in or out as if being sat in? Thanks so much Ms. HOLT. 😊

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Hey there! Welcome to the channel! This is a great question… Do you want to pull the chair back so that someone will be seated in it and then give yourself 4 to 6 inches beyond the back leg. This will prevent you from falling partly off the carpet when dining.😄

Thanks Lisa, you're very easy to follow, you give this positive way of finding a solution to things

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Hey Susana! Thanks so much for your kind comment, I'm glad you enjoy my videos! Tune up for more fun stuff!

Im at the end of a major renovation and are binge watching your videos.Love your delivery and so helpful! I’m guessing you would say synthetic for a mudroom. How do you feel about the washable rugs (eg Ruggable brand)? Now I have to talk someone into a luxurious silky shag for the bedroom 🤣

[@LisaHoltDesign]

YES, if you want to put a carpet or a small rug in your mudroom, a washable one is a good idea! I have heard from other designers that Ruggable is good, but I haven't tried it myself, YET! 😇

Hi Lisa, I’d like to see a video for all things living room seating: what to look for in a couch/sofa/sectional etc, material, what styles to match, all that. I know your insight would be so helpful!

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Great request! I’ll add this to the list of videos to come! Have you joined the list for the Design Club yet? I think you’ll love it, we’ll livestream Q&A’s, deep dive and give lots of pro tips all about design, great for if you've got a project coming up, so send your email to www.lisaholtdesign.com and you'll be in the loop!

[@camillepowell5937]

Your videos are turning up at just the right time for me. Question:: do we extend the rug under the TV cabinet stand that is against a paneled wall or just under the seating /sofa/ armchairs?

[@LisaHoltDesign]

In this case you can get away with just the seating area...

[@staceyjackson7253]

Thank you, Lisa!!! I would like you to talk about picking rugs for certain rooms. I am in the middle of choosing a rug for my office, but my artwork is off from my rug... Back to the drawing board.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

That's a great request Stacey! 😊 I'll add it to my list!

[@triciaosborn8093]

How do I determine area rug size for home office that's IN my living room??? Also don't like my living room carpet either since we have the classic apartment "tan" carpet. 😒

[@susanyakus7364]

Thank you for this subject. Question, should the dining room rug, be the same pattern as the living room, if it connects from a great room? Not quite sure, if one should have the pattern and another plain, or something similar? TIA!

[@vyh5357]

What size runner for a 3ft x 16 ft corridor. This corridor is to all bedrooms, dead ends at a wall and leads to the main living space. I find a lot of 12ft long runners but 16ft not so much. Is it ok to be 4ft shy? I tried to scan the comments to see but didn’t see this Q. I was impressed with how many responses to comments there are. 👍

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Tracy!! I always do my best to get back to everyone that comments in all my videos, it's so much fun to talk to you guys!!! 😋💓 Have you tried looking into getting a custom runner that is 16ft?

[@marinska1]

Hi Lisa, thank you for all the good advice you are so generously giving and all the top quality videos! I was looking to find a video on natural wood versus laminated flooring options but didn't find. Have you covered the topic?

[@LisaHoltDesign]

La Marina!! AMAZING question, I am actually going to cover this in the Dezign Club!!! 😉 In the club, I will be doing TONS of specific design deep dives, project tutorials, webinars, and SOOO much more on there - you don't wanna miss it!!!! 😍👏🏼 Send me your email here www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub and I will send you all the details!!!

[@BarbaraGlaeser1]

I find your videos entertaining and so full of good information. Thank you for making them. Did you just start to put music as background while you talk? For me, I find it hard to concentrate with the distracting background music.

[@LisaHoltDesign]

Barbara!!! 💕 I'm always experimenting with those little details on my channel...hearing what your preferences are is actually SUPER helpful!!! 👏🏻😘 I do my absolute best to make every video even better than the last - getting you guys' thoughts is super important to me!! 💚 Thank you SO much for leaving such a sweet comment and thank you for the feedback!! 🥰💙
