I’ve made plenty of these mistakes so you don’t have to! Let me know if you want an ultimate rug sourcing guide video! Should I break it down by materials? Pricing? Rooms in the home?
Yes! I would love to see a rug sourcing video. Maybe broken down by pricing and/or materials. Thank you for your videos. I have learned so much from watching them.
I had to laugh when you shared that you buy the area rug first and then build your design from it, because my friend does the same thing with her shoes. She chooses her shoes first and then from there she chooses her outfit and accessories. ❤️
Love this video🙌🏼 I have done the mistake in the past of buying cheap rugs; but through experience I have learned to wait, save, and buy quality. Your video tips confirm I am doing the right thing. Thank you for mentioning about pets, that’s great to know when investing in something that we love and have been wanting but don’t want our pets to ruin. Thank you again for your videos ❤️
Totally agree with yr motto - Buy well, cry once. I spent thousands of dollars on a silk Persian rug for the living room...over the past 10 years, it has maintained its rich colours and luxurious feel, totally justifying its cost. Actually, it is surprisingly tough (so I wouldn't just confine silk carpets to decorating the wall). And of course, nothing compares to the feel of soft, smooth silk on your bare feet!
Wool rugs are EVERYTHING. I own 2, you're right they look brand new after shampooing. I recently stored one I've had for about 12 yrs. I literally shampooing it 5x, letting it dry between each shampoo. It is immaculate. So worth the money if you can make that splurge. You'll eventually spend the same amount on replacing multiple "throw away" rugs.
I have a beautiful , 73 years old Turkish kilim rug in my living room ; Family heirloom . Still in pristine condition with proper care . Whoever walks in asks about it and can't believe the age . It's a gem !!!❤
@@miramaric4383 definitely worth the money. Unless you're someone who likes constant change, go with the less expensive since you'll probably only keep it a yr
thank you!! i have an open space and already have a beautiful area rug in the living room that im obsessed with…so obsessed that I almost checked out my Amazon cart which contained a second rug for my dining room. Right before placing the order I decided to come to RUclips and see what designers say about such move; I just knew something was questionable about having the same rug for the living room and dining room in an open space. Thank you!
Thanks for giving so much clarity on such topics.. all your tips really help to narrow down our search and get the best items for our space without stressing about it.. you make us understand interior designing instead of just laying down the rules..and the tip to buy area rug first makes so much sense but surprisingly never heard of it anywhere.. you saved me from buying it in the last and stressing about the perfect colours.. thanks n loads of love ❤
I really learned a lot here. Especially the comparison of different materials like silk, wool, polyester and where they work best in the home. I was buying polyester for kitchen area but learned on my own that not a good fit for me as I cannot clean them with any water and I prefer not to throw them away.
yes please I would love even more suggestions of styles and what colors/textures would look good in a rug to add to an already furnished neutral living space!
Anything you like! That’s the beauty of a neutral space- you can go wild! I would look to Pinterest for inspiration and allow your favorite spaces to help guide you
I'm glad we didn't pull the trigger last night while rug shopping. Gave me the opportunity to find this video and learn before mistakes were made. Now I understand why some of those rugs were super cheap and why some were eye popping expensive. Guess I'll get ready to clinch my teeth and buy an expensive rug.
Great Video! I would love an ultimate sourcing video/guide for rugs! All your videos are giving me the confidence to go into my new home with great design ideas. Love them all.
Your illustrated pictures make your videos fantastic. A picture does saves a thousand words. Your tips and suggestions help us so much with design questions and suggestions. Thank you!
I finally set up my antique Anatolian rug the other day and it helped take my living room design from like 30% complete to about 85%. A nice rug, vintage or new makes a big difference for living rooms.
The info on materials and care was really helpful. A sourcing guide would be great! I’ve been hunting for a large (10x13 or 11x14) living room rug and it’s been a challenge to find a style, material, price and size wanted. Specifically I’m curious about wool Moroccan, Turkish, Aztec type styles in neutrals but I’ll be replacing more rugs soon so any sourcing info would be valuable.
Standard sizes are 9x12, 11x13, 12x15 Kelly. Anything in between is usually custom. Filter the rug sizes from any of the vendors I linked in the description box. These sizes are more expensive of course in the materials you listed, but worth it when you’ll have it forever!
This video was super helpful Julie! And practical. No rug in the dining room. One subject that I struggled with a corner fire place for a few years. It's located in a small (about 13 X 14 ft) open-concept living room with hard wood flooring. I used overlapping identical circular rugs, which actually was ok for a while. Last year, I had carpeting store professionals make one that defined the seating area, and that corner fireplace. It wasn't nearly as expensive as I imagined--less than $1500 with padding. My stress level is less too. : ) An expense for sure, but ok if I stay a long while in my house ; and some options if it's in good condition when moving. Sell to new buyer, or someone in neighborhood with same floor plan.
A lot of times custom carpet is less expensive than a large area rug KBS- most people are afraid to hear “custom” but I do it all the time for irregular and oversized spaces. Great call 🙌🏻
Wonderful info, thank you. Word of caution with wool rugs or any animal fiber rug...your dogs will be highly attracted to these very expensive rugs, and.. impossible to professionally remove stains. I go with cheaper fiber rugs so it doesn't hurt as much!😂
Loved this video. Haven’t been able to find a simple video on this topic. Helps a ton! I also like your warm, slightly olive toned skin color! You would look GREAT in more muted colors 🧡🤎
Another great video, Julie - thank you! This one gives more explanation into the rug concepts you share in past videos, which confirmed some of my choices I made with your guidance & is helping me navigate new ones. I found the advice on entryways & kitchens especially helpful, as well. So sweet to see you glowing with your precious baby bump, too…
Thank you so much Michelle! I definitely wanted to dive deeper into area rug concepts so each video can complement the previous basic guides. Thank you for noticing 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Julie this video is right on time. I changing out the floors in my bedroom from carpet to LVP and didn't know what size rug to purchase nor did I know what fabric. I will refer to this video when shopping. Thanks a million.
Great tips! I appreciate it. I was agonizing about matching in my great room or not. I had the feeling I should avoid being "matchy" but wondered what designers tend to do and this video was the answer. :) Thank you.
Love this video!! Made me rethink what kind of rug I need and it’s going to look amazing thanks to your help! I would love a similar style video about TV stands/cabinets. I feel it’s so hard to come by one that looks good!
Julie desperately need the sourcing video on are rugs! I have spent 2 weeks trying to decide which one I need for the various spaces and from where to purchase them from! Please do make the sourcing video!
You look so fresh and so much energy. This video is just so timely. I just came from Crate & Barrel. Wow, the rugs were so expensive but the designs were unique and awesome. Loved this video🙏🏽😘👏
@@JulieKhuu I just want to say I would love that video, but you just make sure you are taking care of what you need first! We can wait however long is necessary. You and your family are #1 ALWAYS. ❤
I've just bought a second-hand turkish rug, which I'd hoped was wool, but it's 100% synthetic. I've clean it using upholstery shampoo and a wet vac and it looks like new now.
Thank you Julie for another great video! I am currently in the process of replacing my formal dining and living room rugs(I am tired of them), but I have put it off since I would have to re-paint and hang new art that would be cohesive with the new rug. Right now everything blends well together... So I am stumped. The videos help. So I may tackle this in the Summer. The dining room table is heavy though and will be a bugger to move. So part of the reason for the delay. I too buy the rug first and then paint... Easier to do this then find the perfect affordable rug that works with the design style. 😊
@@JulieKhuu I also tied the art in with the rug and paint. The dining room is a tastefull deep red and the rug matches it well. The art has cherry wood frames with original art(local well known artist L.R. Mongomery) and a print I found with a beautiful country scene with accents of fall colors(red, gold, yellow, bronze trees)with a warm bronze frame. The table is cherry with a mission style with beautiful graining(bought in the 1980's) seats six. I am an artist also and I have a new painting I just finished of my son and husband at the lake that I want to hang. It is hard to mesh colors together. I think I can use this painting in my living room? The walls are soft cream with a hint of yellow and the painting has the blue/green of the water--reddish cream/brown of the beach and green/brown treeline and crystal clear blue sky. I framed it myself in a warm brown wood and bronze. I am hoping it will work. I still have a light house painting that I did that I like, but still no place to hang it yet. More on the cool color side... I will figure it out... I just need to find the time to do it(I work full-time) 😊
years ago, i bought a thick zebra striped rug from builder's square at an unbelievable price. probably one of the best home purchases i ever made. i have a few other beautiful large area rugs that i keep rolled up and every few years i resurrect them, and switch them out, b/c theyre timeless and i still love them! i also swap out the rugs with other rooms if i start getting bored with the look. it works for me. thanks for the useful tips, jk!
Thankyou for all your tips on area rugs. I should have gotten rug first before my furniture. My furniture color is Pewter and I am still looking for a rug.
I've seen a recent trend in going solid and textured in area rugs now. I do not care for jute as they are scratchy and uncomfortable on my bare feet when I get out of bed in the a.m. plus I have a large dog. I just bought an 8 X 10 ft. polyester rug for my bedroom. I have two twin mattresses (hospital type bed that moves up and down) that fit together to create a California King under the bed sham.
I have an open concept (living room & dining room combo. How do I decorate with area rugs. Living room has round coffee table, dining room has rectangle table.😅
Totally agree Julie about an are rug over wall to wall carpeting, especially when it's apartment grade drab carpeting to add some interest pattern and personality and to define a space, just as they are used over solid flooring. Hear often it's faux pas to do so but I disagree.
@@JulieKhuu agree completely!! My apartment has this drab brownish grey carpeting and I threw down rugs to cover that mess up! Thanks for your videos I love watching them on my mornings off with my coffee. Keep em coming!! What do you think about post modernism interior design making a come back?
A lot of technical information, but as for me, I never think of any this stuff or even care about it when I go inside any place that has an area rug. I pay attention to the pattern and color, and that's it. Going by your rules, a lot of places I've been did it wrong, but honestly, I don't remember any place where I said "wow, this looks terrible", so that's that.
Hi dear how to place rugs in a living room where the sofas are facing different directions? Should i go for two different rugs or customise rug for the whole living room ? 🤔
The rooms you show are so cold and uninviting. Some are beautiful, but look as though they are meant to be admired from the door. They aren't for actual people to use or converse in. However, your rug advice is right on.
Most of these spaces are pulled from my favorite area rug vendors and their catalogs. So it makes sense that the rooms aren’t “lived in”- they’re selling a rug, not the room 😊
I like dark browns mix colors with tans maybe blues in area rug i wonder if dark paintings its too matchy-matchy? I was planning to purchase a dark area rug how i have dark abstract paintings at home now I’m having second thoughts…
Omg just the video I was looking for! I have wall to wall beige carpet in my rental unit. I want to add a terracotta hue rug on top of it, since its carpet over carpet do I still need to follow the rule of fitting all the furniture on top of the rug I will add? I see in the last section that the rug over carpet didnt cover all the furniture hence the question :) Also should the tv table come over the carpet too? I have a 10 foot space between my sofa and the tv table
Yes, if that’s your intent Carol. I like how a large area rug anchors the space, but I’ve seen it done with runners to have something soft to land on underfoot 👍🏻
My soon to be apart apartment has honey/orangeish wood flooring, dark espresso wood cabinets, and dark greenish shade gray granite countertops. Im kind of at a loss on a color palate for pretty much everything. Any ideas for rug colors or anything else? I have no furniture so I'm trying to get the designing right the first time. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!
I have a new three bedroom house with no furniture in it as of yet. Its rooms have what feels like a huge expanse of ceramic tile flooring. In keeping with your suggestions I am looking for area rugs first. Can you talk to us about cleaning and maintaining our rugs and floors? In your experience which rug shampooing machine can you recommend? Are robot sweepers a good investment? If any listeners have opinions, please comment. Thank you.
I have two robot vacuums and also a rug doctor which I use for 100% wool rugs. I love the combination- watch my video called Best Investments I’ve Made for My Home with detailed explanations on why I love them 😊

You’ll see silk rugs in bedrooms since it’s less foot traffic and won’t crush the pile Chia. So luxurious indeed 😍

Will now I know I should have bought and area rug into of two smaller, but still large ones for the sides of the bed that keep moving!😂
Very useful video. Should i have a rug for living room but not for dining room?
That’s a personal preference and should help to anchor the seating group
Hi Julie Great video as always!!🤗
Thank you for watching Shar 🙏🏻☺️
thank u so much! i needed all these tips!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Maybe you should do a video explaining the difference between an accent, throw rug, mat, area rug, runner and carpet bc ppl don’t know
Awesome idea! You’re right, I can talk about these differences with greater detail Kristin 👍🏻☺️
Thanks for the information, great video.
Thank you for watching Sophia 🙏🏻☺️
What are your thoughts on a patterned quilt with a rug with a pattern?
Thanks Julie, very informative. 🤗😘💖💖💖
Thank you for watching Lorraine 🙏🏻☺️
A lot of technical information, but as for me, I never think of any this stuff or even care about it when I go inside any place that has an area rug. I pay attention to the pattern and color, and that's it. Going by your rules, a lot of places I've been did it wrong, but honestly, I don't remember any place where I said "wow, this looks terrible", so that's that.
If it feels good to you, that’s all that matters 🙌🏻☺️
I only get polypropylene rugs with pets. They shampoo up great and last for years and years. My wool rugs definitely are not as cleanable.
Hi dear how to place rugs in a living room where the sofas are facing different directions? Should i go for two different rugs or customise rug for the whole living room ? 🤔
Your belt adds a wonderful accent to your outfit. 😊
Thank you so much! Had to add some shape to that popping belly! Lol 🤰🏼
Thank you for sharing these mistakes
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
The rooms you show are so cold and uninviting. Some are beautiful, but look as though they are meant to be admired from the door. They aren't for actual people to use or converse in. However, your rug advice is right on.
Most of these spaces are pulled from my favorite area rug vendors and their catalogs. So it makes sense that the rooms aren’t “lived in”- they’re selling a rug, not the room 😊
I like dark browns mix colors with tans maybe blues in area rug i wonder if dark paintings its too matchy-matchy? I was planning to purchase a dark area rug how i have dark abstract paintings at home now I’m having second thoughts…
Omg just the video I was looking for! I have wall to wall beige carpet in my rental unit. I want to add a terracotta hue rug on top of it, since its carpet over carpet do I still need to follow the rule of fitting all the furniture on top of the rug I will add? I see in the last section that the rug over carpet didnt cover all the furniture hence the question :) Also should the tv table come over the carpet too? I have a 10 foot space between my sofa and the tv table
What if you have a corner fireplace - how do you measure the area rug?
Clear the fireplace by a few inches and that’s the max you can go Deborah
Very helpfully thanks❤🌟
Julie if I don't want to purchase a full area rug, would it be ok to have a runner on either side of the bed? Thank you.
Yes, if that’s your intent Carol. I like how a large area rug anchors the space, but I’ve seen it done with runners to have something soft to land on underfoot 👍🏻
@@JulieKhuu great to know. Thank you
My soon to be apart apartment has honey/orangeish wood flooring, dark espresso wood cabinets, and dark greenish shade gray granite countertops. Im kind of at a loss on a color palate for pretty much everything. Any ideas for rug colors or anything else? I have no furniture so I'm trying to get the designing right the first time. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you
Thanks for this video beautiful very inspirational 😘
Thank you for watching Ella 🙏🏻☺️
Hi can you tell me if white based multicolour floral area rug will look with teal sofa and marble gold dinner table set?
can you put a rug under a dining table whilst there is a rug in the open living room right next to it?
Thanks!
Thank you for the support Lynette! 🫶🏻
Right, I am going to exchange the rug for our entry ^^
Hope the next one works better Grace! 🙌🏻
@@JulieKhuu It does! :)
I have a new three bedroom house with no furniture in it as of yet. Its rooms have what feels like a huge expanse of ceramic tile flooring. In keeping with your suggestions I am looking for area rugs first. Can you talk to us about cleaning and maintaining our rugs and floors? In your experience which rug shampooing machine can you recommend? Are robot sweepers a good investment? If any listeners have opinions, please comment. Thank you.
I have two robot vacuums and also a rug doctor which I use for 100% wool rugs. I love the combination- watch my video called Best Investments I’ve Made for My Home with detailed explanations on why I love them 😊
Please share places to purchase area rugs
They’re linked in the description box Deborah 👍🏻☺️
