Top 10 Design Mistakes You're Making in Your Home | ALL ABOUT AREA RUGS

[@jilllilley516]

I'm just gonna say it - your skirt is fabulous!

[@princessbc9791]

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.

[@Tied2TheTube]

YES!!! Pleazzzzzzze do a video about dealing with an angled fireplace. It is the bane of my existence! 🤬

[@cindysimpson878]

Me, too!

[@missgloriaingram1588]

Shout Out to Hyatt Place for taking great care of you. Kindness speaks volume. Area rugs are not my strong point, thank you for this video, much needed help.

[@robb6170]

What a difference the right area rug can make in a space, the hotel should invest a little money to "elevate" that room even more😃! Thank you Rebecca! I take Becky's recommendations seriously and my house is a reflection of that from the moment you walk in!

[@lindamoeder1681]

Rebecca... what are your thoughts on placing a rug on carpeting?

[@carmensicilia-lopez8387]

Yes corner fireplace video would be great

[@Sconzette]

Yes I have a corner china cabinet, I would like to see some of your ideas

[@tthomas501]

Great advice! And it still cracks me up to hear you talk about places in Tulsa😅. When I started watching you years ago, I would have never thought that one day you would be local!

[@IAPeg]

Love this! ❤ so helpful, and BTW, I vote yes on doing a video on corner fireplaces!

[@lesliesharnas7612]

Good video!!!!! Please do a video on corner fire places!!! I have one and awkward!!!!

[@staceyharrington5367]

The rugs from Ahmady’s were absolutely gorgeous. So kind of them. 💕

[@sharonpate6361]

Yes do a video on angled fireplaces! I have one and it is the reason why I haven't redecorated. I don't where to put sofa, but don't want to block fireplace, don't know where to put T.V. so that you can see it.👏

[@sharonmeredith7106]

As an almost 62 yr old lady I appreciate your journey both personal and professional. I love your style and I’m waiting for the Rebecca Robeson Eyewear line!

[@freeandfabulous4310]

Thanks for the feedback on my rug, Rebecca! ♥️Francesca 😊

[@karensorto6405]

i love the explanation of how to choose the right rug

[@MizJilly]

Talk about making lemonade out of lemons, turning an emergency hotel stay into this!! Thank you for this, and you look great!

[@valeriehowden471]

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.

[@jekku4688]

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.

[@jenniferhatch1802]

Yes, please give us more tips for working with a corner fireplace in a family room. I can't figure out how to have symmetry/balance, the U shape with furniture, and a tv placement when it cannot go above the fireplace. Thank you!

[@veannewillson]

My dining room was used. Thank you Rebecca as I’ve been trying to convince my husband to purchase a bigger rug. I need a new light too. ❤ No feelings hurt here just a stubborn husband 😂. My living room rug is huge, bound carpet which was much cheaper than a rug.

[@charlotteerickson2486]

Design is the eye of the beholder.

[@maryfriedman6035]

Hyatt should buy the rug!

[@misseee965]

Yes!!!!!! Please do a video on the “corner fireplace!” I have one too. Need help!!!! Please?

[@Toni_Snark]

Wow, that was super nice of Ahmady's! It was so great to actually see the differences with the same furniture~

[@victoriags1]

Yes please do the corner fireplace video.

[@kathleenshaw932]

OMG, I’ve missed your videos. Got mixed up in the politics for the last few years and forgot how beautiful and mind refreshing your designs are!

[@missgloriaingram1588]

Those rugs are so beautiful. Wow, made the room look like a place I want to be.

[@almaskhan2040]

Rebecca nailed it again 👏

[@helenalexander2567]

Wow amazing x Rebecca so pleased you are all safe after the storm x

[@lindawatts5260]

Perfect timing! I’ve been telling my hubby our rug was too small! If you say it is it is!!!!

[@charmainehaynes1060]

Thank you that was so helpful. I would like you to see rugs when you have a corner fireplace. please.

[@tamoracernyprofessionalorg7647]

❤❤❤❤❤❤🙌 I see rugs sale going to a very high level!

[@pricedesign8805]

The larger rugs look so much better, thank you!

[@brendadoyle643]

Rebecca, Love this new series of videos that you are doing.

[@704margie]

Just when I thought I had it down-packed, I'm now headed to get a new area rug! It just makes sense🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️

[@shellywhite1929]

I have the largest area rug I can have because of the walkway you talked about. And the way my den is laid out, I have a walkway on all 4 sides. So no walls have sitting furniture. BTW, I saw your 'too much stuff' video, first one I've ever seen. Everyone is right. You're spectacular. I subscribe to only a few channels and yours is one! TY. I'm gonna purge, and I changed from dark to light on my rug, can't change size. I love it! ❤️

[@space00091]

Hope your back home soon thinking of you stay safe best wishes from the UK x

[@ninatang7015]

Love that you used different rugs at Hyatt to make your point!

[@patriciakeegan4228]

I’m so sorry you had to leave your beautiful home. 😢 I hope the damage is able to be repaired quickly. Thank you for finding a way to set up videos for us!

[@karinaavila7522]

😮wowo 🤩thank you Rebeca for all great s ideas 💡❣️🙅🏻‍♀️and send you the biggest hugs and blessings 🫂 for this times!! Wish the naturally storm🙏🏻you be passing now🙅🏻‍♀️🙏🏻😘

[@Jaacck45]

Your great tip - if you can select rugs before decorating it can help choose a colour palette - also great way to get your point over by setting up a rug in the hotel room 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 # feel better soon Becky

[@leahpruner4410]

Great start to this series! Looking forward to more!

[@minadanigeli4486]

My living room was used, thank you Rebecca!! So inspiring and generous!! Your experience is invaluable, I really appreciate 🫶🏻 keep on giving us valuable unique content ❤️

[@freedomofreligion3248]

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. Loved it, thank you.

[@sarahparmeter1831]

Loved this video. What a difference you made in that room. Size does indeed matter!😉🤣

[@loislichnerowicz3724]

Great video! I would love a video on corner fireplaces! The struggle is real. 😩

[@debrastanovich724]

Wow! Great information! Could you please do a corner fireplace video?

[@susangarcia3466]

Yes! Corner Fireplace video, please!

[@jacquelinesinke6234]

I like seeing real people's spaces and hearing your suggestions!

[@carriecampbell9455]

I Love this rug episode! I learned so much. Thank you

[@sandybartlett7828]

Your “love life enthusiasm” is inspiring Rebecca!❤

[@dianejohnson7235]

I am so happy to see this video!!!! I have my area rung in the proper placement!!!! Yeh!!! I did it right!!!!!

[@paulaleeper3668]

Absolutely enjoyed seeing downtown Tulsa from your hotel! Rug training 101 was so fun to watch. Point made!!!! Larger rugs always look better! Thanks Rebecca 👍

[@marthas746]

Yeees please, corner fireplace video 😊

[@marissaclaridge7627]

Lovely video...great ideas...just what I needed to know!!!Thank youxxx

[@sandrabradbury4962]

Yes! Please tell us how to decorate with a corner fireplace! YES!

[@bevfast865]

awesome video,...love the practicality of your teaching style! thank you!

[@CynthiaLee-cx6qo]

Love these videos of big mistakes!!

[@kathleensturgeon3673]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do a video on furniture placement with a corner fireplace.

[@brendadoyle643]

Furniture placement, rug sizes, before and after pictures are so informative. Thank you

[@petramueller7674]

Such an informative video. Thank you so much !

[@joedevitto6113]

Perfect topic today , because im trying to decide on an area rug for my new renovated living room ~ this is great !

[@camicri4263]

I like the biggest rug, for a room like that a 12'x 20' would have been awesome! Thanks Rebecca, I am very visual! Ahmady was amazing for letting you get your point across, what a great store! Blessings 💕🤗

[@lindab8397]

Brilliant video Rebecca ,,,, seeing it really does help and your right it does look much bigger . I think NOW when people go to buy rugs they will remember this video. I know I will. I have learnt so much over the years by watching your videos . THANKYOU 👍🇬🇧

[@nadinelynch9591]

Love the information on sizing and placement really makes a difference ❤❤❤❤

[@denisedurham9385]

Love the rugs you used in your demonstration.

[@juliatosti1567]

Excellent visuals! Thank you

[@amberorton6633]

For the room with two rugs…would you suggest using two identical, appropriately sized rugs in adjoining areas like that, or omit one in the dining room altogether?

[@evandenberg196]

Hi, lovely that you will help us to improve our homes. Please, can you say ithat in the title and when you speak ? I think that people are more willing to change there home when they did not hear there ‘mistake’, but when they hear how to improve and make it more plesant and beautiful than it is now. Thank you for your time and effort !

[@GardenRudiments]

Please do a video on corner fireplaces! Love your videos

[@adam4025]

oh my gosh! I have the same medium rug that sofas foot outside.! Must buy a bigger rug now! Thank you ! Can we have also everything about the fireplace? Which kind should be for the living room, please?

[@inkyimpressions]

Hi Rebecca, I am a newer subscriber and I’ve been binge watching your videos. In regards to placement of area rugs what do you do if you’re working with a room that’s about 16 x 21 and you’ve got an oversized sofa which is approximately 140” on the 16 foot wall and another sofa that’s about 110 inches long on the 21 foot wall. Where do you put the area rug? I’m struggling and could use a professional opinion. Oh it’s also in a room with Berber carpet. Would you maybe just do the rug under the one sofa and coffee table and leave the other one? Thanks so much for your videos….. Newly subbed and will always watch! 🙏🏼💯

[@mandymiller5677]

I needed this video!! Ugh!! So badly. I need to invest in area rugs. The videos were very helpful too! Would love to see more of that where people submit their videos for critique.

[@wendiewegner9236]

Yes please do a video on corner fireplaces. I have a corner fireplace and a small living family room not too small though. So we also have a tv in there, not above the fireplace.

[@jillbruce3624]

Great tips and I definitely am guilty of the dining room rug being too small. Thank you.

[@lyndam6640]

Please do a corner fireplace video. I sent you my pictures and it has a corner fireplace in it. Thanks a million!

[@susanfusuma6472]

Aloha from Honolulu! Thank you, Rebecca, this is such an eye opening video and I learned so very much from watching it. I would love to send you a photo of my living room area rug, which I now realize is way too small after watching this, but where do I send the photo to you?

[@rinaberisha5125]

Simply perfection! It’s such a small detail, but the difference is huge. We’re building our new house and I will definitely take your advice. Thank You for sharing!

[@annad1921]

What a great series ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Charlotte-io7so]

Oh yes please a video on a corner fireplace please please!! I have a tall white corner fireplace with mink color wood floors..Need some ideas on how to set up my room please please

[@AtHomeWithZaneR]

I love all your tips! I submitted photos and my room definitely falls into the “too small” area rug category (among other problem areas) 😂 I’m glad I watched this! Now I know what to do to correct my area rug problem. ❤

[@toscaemmanuel8433]

Totally enjoyed this!!!

[@swift1374a]

Love this series SO much!

[@suehernandez1407]

Love your videos! YES PLEASE do a video on angled fireplaces! Ours is pretty big with u-shaped brick that goes up to the top of vaulted ceiling. It's dark multi-toned brick and we tried to put our TV above it and it seemed to high because the room is small.

[@cathyb6358]

This was very inspiring.

[@jamiebroderick7599]

Can you use the mouse to show us locations of things? When you point with your fingers, your hand covers up the image you’re trying to share. Thanks! Love your content.

[@RhondaOlmsted]

I love you videos! Please do one addressing a corner fireplace. It makes it the hardest rooms to place furniture.

[@patriciajankowski1]

Please do one on corner fireplaces.

[@talisacopeland1767]

These are all wonderful demonstrations and suggestions. What a difference the right size Rug can make in the room. How do you purchase a rug for a rectangular living room with a fireplace?

[@paula6446]

Yes -please do the corner fireplace video!!

[@cathypaldino3966]

Hello Rebecca.... love You! Do you recommend any websites to order rugs from?

[@busybecky6327]

I love your videos! Question: I have an open layout. Is it bad to have 3 of the same rug in neighboring spaces? I found a rug I LOVE, but am finding it impossible to find any other rug that mixes well with it and also goes with my style, so I'd like to use the same rug in each space so it feels cohesive, but is this a big no-no?

[@EmorettaRobinson]

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.

[@jenniferlynn3537]

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!

[@lisabonelli4908]

Does this apply to bedroom carpets as well??😊

[@marrodriguez6173]

Excellent video, Thank you !!!

[@hedo24680]

Would you suggest a large area rug in a small living space with a corner fire place?

[@JoshBrezzy]

This is Classic Rebecca!🔥 I wonder if she will print the pictures out and draw on them?🤔 Excellent video!

[@marylenhastings6533]

Loved seeing the different rug plans. Impressive! Thanks for all of your wonderful tips!

[@Hmcet]

What do you think of using the same area rug in the living room as the dining room for the sake of continuity? I have a sofa facing away from the dining area but currently I have 2 different rugs that are really pretty close together.

[@cherigossen3864]

Please do a video on corner fireplaces. We are looking to possibly move to the Dallas area and have been looking at homes. The builders there are obsessed with corner fireplaces. We are not fans and would love to see what you would do with a corner fireplace.

[@clairehallman7449]

Please do the video about corner fireplaces, there is a need.
