In this video I go over how to choose a rug for your home! We talk about what size of rug to buy for your home, what material you should choose in your rug, how design style impacts the rug you choose and more! Buying a rug can be an expensive investment so I also talk budget as well and the tradeoffs you will make by choosing a cheaper rug and I even included some affordable but durable rug options.

Love Austin, need to go enter!
Nick, can you nake an episode about customized vs standard. Which item in the house that can be customized which ones should be bought based on standard.
“We don’t do that...it looks stupid”. Understood LOL.
Hi can we get a video explaining antiques and how to decorate with them? I love antique furniture and never see any designer discuss it ever. Thank you!! Love your content!
Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@Nick_Lewis 🙌🙏 so excited!!!
Dig deeper into the RUclips world.. I had seen decorators that indeed use a lot of antiques in their spaces. Check Lisa Holt for example. She explains all styles. Plus reading articles on internet gives a lot more insight than videos can.
I also decorate with antiques so I am always looking for more info that can be found at first sight.
@@Nick_Lewis and mixing them with modern pieces, or what periods we can mix together that look best....
Yes! Would definitely love a video on this!!!!
"Sorry, I'm all flustered" LOL - Thank you, Nick. This is a great subject.
Haha I always have those moments when I realize what I said, just after I said it! You know us extroverts - Talk first, think later! 😂
Thank you for featuring Folds of Honor. My son in law did two tours in Afghanistan and is 90% disabled due to an IED that exploded by him and his fellow soldier. They both survived but with life changing injuries. God bless all those that have sacrificed their lives/quality of lives, for our freedoms. ❤
Thank god you don't have a long intro-talk, just straight to bussiness 🙏
Yes and not that "if you want to see blahblahblah, stick around" or "if you like this, subscriiiiiibe!!" nonsense.
This is literally one of the only times life has shined on me. I inherited the most GORGEOUS vintage rug. Everything else has been budget built, and your channel has been incredibly helpful with making my home gorgeous
You masterfully sequence your videos to answer questions of your viewers without it being a “series”. You are one of my favorite content creator with consideration of your viewers. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh thank you so much! I try to structure it that way when I do my outlines.
@@Nick_Lewis Thank you for the video. Many videos seem to subscribe to the conventional rug sizes and furniture placement. However I recently came across Nina Garcia's AD home tour. Her designer Carlos Aparicio challenges most of the "rug rules" where the furniture in the living room and other seating seating areas seem to sit outside of the rug and it looks so beautiful. Can you please comment on this. Thank you.

Please do one of these for lampshades! I'm struggling! What's worth paying for, what's overpriced rubbish?
I just bought rugs a month ago and I totally didn't think I needed to measure... 🤦♀️ We all know how that ended.
You make rugs sound fun! You have a gift. I just love your passion. No matter what people do or talk about, it's the passion that makes it great.
“Have fun with design”
One of so many wonderful quotes to remember!
Have fun! Sometimes we forget that and we make it stressful.
Oh, my word. My son and I benefit from Folds Of Honor. What a wonderful charity and video. Just made me love you even more!!!
They have folds of honor on the cups at my local Quiktrip also ❤
Oh my gosh that warms my heart! ❤️
@@jessicagameros5321 beautiful! They're truly a wonderful organization. They help a lot of families of the fallen, like mine.
Yes! Thank you for mentioning the need for more durable rugs in places like the kitchen or high traffic areas. Your approach and information are useful for all budgets.
This is perfect for where I am in my decor right now! I’m in a small apartment (side chairs? No room) and I’ve fallen in love with our multicolor, recycled fabric rug. It actually made me realize that my space needs to be a lot more boho to incorporate the softer, more natural side of what my partner and I love. I was debating getting rid of the rug, even though it was expensive and I love it, but I don’t think I have to!
Suuuuper helpful! This is the first rug related video that made me feel empowered to make a decision on what kind of rug I want in my new apt. It's been making me really anxious lately. Thank you so much!
Nick, I just love your channel, you make design very approachable to those of us who have no idea what to do 👍🏼
Always learn from your videos. I would love, love more where you analyze a room and WHY it works (or doesn't!). I understand concepts as you explain them, but there's nothing like experiencing them/seeing multiple concrete examples to really understand.
“Sorry I’m a little flustered.” 🤣 I LITERALLY laughed out loud. Thanks for that Nick 🤣
😁
Smashing the like button and nearly crying! I’ve been online, searching for a rug for our newly made over bedroom, and I’m so lost. I literally thought, maybe one of my RUclips gurus can tell me what to do, and BAM! There’s Nick. 🤩🤩🤩
Another informative video and I’m planning on purchasing a rug for my new living room furniture within the next month. Thank you, Nick. 👍🏻
Would love a pet friendly decor video! We have two cats and a large fluffy Bernese. I need to have a cat tree but never see any rooms where they are styled in, they always feel like an afterthought thrown in a corner. Or like what dog friendly furniture do you recommend because our big boy jumps on the couch all the time and our cats scratched so much at our old sofa...
I was thinking the same! We have four fluffy felines. A jute rug would be DESTROYED in a day!
I had a gorgeous cat tree at my last apartment. I got it from a local cat store, but it was designed from real tree branches and looked like a heavy duty tree with 6 platforms at various levels for the cats. I can’t link you to this, but it was super easy to style into the apartment and looked like art instead of just a cat tree
i picked up a jute rug yesterday and sat my cats down for a talk to not destroy it 🤡
Ha! I married my guy (he has four cats: it must be love) & we're finally building our new house together. I'm a modernist but my rugs are antique Orientals & flat weave Kilims (I'll sell them); his rugs: cat resistant indoor/outdoor rugs. I am spending hours combing websites looking for indoor/outdoor rugs that the cats won't claw to pieces, and (it must be said) that will be easily cleaned of cat vomit. Any leads on design, color, materials & sources would be great.
YES! I have a cat and a chowchow, so I feel your pain. Picking out rugs and textiles is one of my favorite parts of decorating a space but I'm so limited to what my animals won't destroy
Thanks Nick! Great info and I love the last bit about having fun. You're right, I need to let up and just have fun. Mistakes will happen but I can't find what I like without trying.
Binging on all your videos! Love your style, tips, education, and energy!
Another inspiring and helpful video Nick! Love it 👍 Could you do a video on how to decorate with finishing touches like candles, vases, mirrors, plants, ect. Thanks so much 😊 Can't wait for the next video.
This is great information. I always struggle with rugs. Thank you!
Would love to see a specific rug video like picking out rugs for different styles and companies you’d recommend
Congrats on 200K subscribers! Yeah! Your videos are so informative and hilarious! Love them. Blessings from California XXX
Thank you, I needed this! And can you also do a video on *scatter cushions*: how to co-ordinate colour, pattern, style, what size(s) to get and how many to have and how to arrange on sofa.
Big fan of your channel Nick! Everytime you release a new video, I say to myself “ how does he know I needed this video?!”
Thank you for explaining this! I was looking through your channel yesterday for a video like this and miraculously it appeared today.
Nick you’re the best ! Buying my home soon and will incorporate most of your tips, if not all 👍
Yay! I've been waiting for a rug video. I bought one from Wayfair and it took 4 months for the odor to disappear. They refunded my money after sending 2 stinky rugs. One I gave away and I had to store the other. Now, it's in my new condo but looking to replace it. Rug shopping can be fun but, exhausting with so many choices available. My problem is I like so many different styles. I've bought and returned several, unfortunately.
Congrats on your new sponsors.
Yeah it can be daunting! Thanks Lori! They've been great to work with and I actually find filming the spots to be quite fun!
Every time Nick is sponsored, I feel like a proud parent watching their kid grow up
You should do a popcorn ceiling video!
Thanks Nick. I have a Afghani rug that I got when I was stationed in the Middle East. It is definitely a little small for the space in my new house but I just refuse to put it anywhere else. It was in storage for years and I want it to have it chance to shine. I did get the front legs of my furniture on it but that was it.
Been looking to buy one since I moved in January but would not dare to do it until you made a video on rugs, so I patiently waited as I knew it was coming sooner or later. I guess I'm ready now , thanks !😎
Thanks Nick, you are my go to person for design in my home.
Nick never mind rugs or small spaces...200k! I mean 200K!!!!!!!!!!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Congratulations Nick, you deserve this and more. I hope your channel keeps on growing and thank you for your kind and funny way to make us, amateur everyday "decorators", a little bit better...🤗
hahah thanks so much Carolina! So sweet of you - yes it's been quite the year! Thanks so much for your support! ❤️
Congrats on 200,000!!!!!!! I subscribed after the 1st video! I knew you would be successful, I really enjoy your content.
Were you one of the first subbies?? Thanks so much!
Literally one of the best design channels on YT! Informative, well paced and relatable to all walks of life. Thank you!
💉👶🏾
😭
And not catty...unlike SOME people...
I will love you for ever for not bagging on the polypropylene rug. I have one in my living room, and after listening to enough online designers, I was ready to let it go and buy a wool, because clearly it was holding my space back. Then my 4 year old dropped spaghetti all over it. I pulled out the straight bleach and thanked my lucky stars I had a plastic rug. We may never be grown up enough for a wool rug in the living room.
Yeah let's get real - wool isn't for everyone!
I'd love wool but it's just not in our budget and even if it was I can't justify spending that kind of money on a dang *rug* for Pete's sake. And yes, much easier to clean. Not great for health or planet but 🤷♀️
REALLY needed this video! Thank you! Looking for an area rug for our home in Hawaii and worried about moisture and it holding up with me working out on it. Love the texture of jute. Can't imagine laying on my bareback working out on it. LOL Thank you for the advice!
You're awesome Nick!!! I see why you have so many followers. :-) Appreciate all the links in your description...it really helps!!
The best part I like about this video is the " have fun " part👍👍 ALSO when you said u could find art on the floor 🙏🌹👏maybe ALSO when you said "Sorry I ' m all flustered !! " 🧡💙💚 Thank u so much for these 🤣 rugged tips 💝🙏🌞 🎯🙏🌝
Nick: "have fun with rugs"
Me: 😳
Than: walking straight into my living room and start layering my rugs.
This video is a total lifesaver! Thank you.
Those jute rugs are gorgeous. Love them!
Great video! Helped me out a lot.
How do you know I needed this? The coincidence is amazing
this was so helpful! thank you.
“Art for your floor” - love that.
Love this (and all your videos)!
Thank you so much I didn’t realize all the cool places to put rugs! Love your videos!
hey I am a rug seller
if you want so i can send you my shop link
believe me you will find rugs on low price which qualities will be extra ordinary
Excellent tips! Thank you sir!
How have I been watching your videos for so long, but just relaxing I am not subscribed !?! I fixed it. ❤️
Love your videos.
Thanks again for the information!
Congrats on the 200K subscribers!
I would also love some pet friendly options in videos like this! We have a German Shepherd, they're a all year shedder, so that changes a lot haha
You are a life saver, thank you!
Thank You!!! Very informative!!!
Like you were reading my mind - I am in a process of choosing a rug for my (barely decorated) place and it's so difficult! 😀
Thanks for the very informative video, I learned a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
That part about putting a rug on your wall made me chuckle - I'm from Russia and I think every Russian had a huge funky rug on a wall when they were little and thought it was weird 😅
Thanks, Nick---- Another winner!!!!!!!!
Love your ideas!
DANG NICK! so many great videos... I'm going to have to just start saving them for later... I have a new place it ain't much but it's mine! and I'm going to take it from a turd to a gem... I've always loved interior design I'm almost 70 and I finally have a place of my own... And my head screwed on fairly straight....lol.. it's a great project for me. I have piles of fabric sewing machine elbow grease and I'm very resourceful when it comes to materials.. I'm not beyond pulling over for a nice table or a chest of drawers couple weeks ago I got a nice beveled mirror on the side of the road...😃 Funnnnnn
Thank You very helpful information 😀 😊 👍
Hi Nick. What's your idea on putting a rug on a carpeted floor already? Is it recommended for aesthetic purposes? I look forward to your answer. Thank you!
Love this video 💯!
Thank you Nick, I feel like I hired my very own interior designer while building my home, you are the best, and thank you from saving me from farmhouse barn doors. ☺️

My home is tiny 2 bed and our place gets dirty quickly and easily. I bought a cream shag for my toddlers room and I should of known because the rug got filthy and even with getting it professionally cleaned it still wasn’t cleaned. I’ve decided to forgo a traditional rug and have a large playmat and leaving floors bare. Minimal look for me.
You go have at it!!!!! That was hysterical!!! Love u nick!!! 🤣
Such good tips!
This is super helpful!
Awesome thanks for the video
Home Depot online has a very wide selection of rugs for a great price! Contemporary and boho styles too!
Nice video! Thanks!
The timing for this video was perfect! I was in the market for an affordable transitional rug, and I just bought the Sagefield rug you linked from Wayfair - thank you! :)

Well i’m a day late lol, & just bought a rug for my garage studio- hope i did OK! Lol - I think I found a good deal, from Home Depot 🤷♀️ I wanted a 9 x 12 (its a big space) but i loved the pattern best of a 8x 11 ... & figured me loving the overall color & pattern is more important to me than losing one foot in length/width - I found it for under/around $150! The search/filter options really helped me narrow things down to make my decision easier, I just ticked the $100-150 box & that narrowed it down to a couple favorites. I’m sure its synthetic, I got it for under my bed & to stretch/do yoga/& workout on. Can not wait to finally get things pulled together. I think i should finally be able to finish my makeover project within just one more week! 😝🤗 i wanted something restful for my eyes, & went with a blue, i think Persian? inspired style... i got the Abigail Britta Midnight blue by United Weavers🌊🌊 😌🧜♀️😉
how big is your space? Did the 9x12 look good?
Thanks for this video. so helpful. In an open space dining/living room, how do you choose the patern/color/material of the rug in the dining vs. living room rug so they don't clash or match too much but rather perfectly coordinate?
Video idea, how to design around a tv. I’ve been struggling with this. Love this video!
Wait! You have a floor? I've been watching your videos forever and am thrilled to get a glimpse at another part of your home. :)
This is just the video I needed! Thank you 🥰

Thx for the content Nick ❤ could you please make a video regarding vacuum robot friendly rugs 😅. It’s really a challenge for me knowing, as they can not climb over a specific thickness like 1 cm which excludes a lot of interesting fluffy thick rugs 😢.
Hi Nick! I’m new to your channel. Thank you for all the amazing information you share here. I’m choosing a rug for our living room. We have 2 kids under the age of 4, and was looking for a durable/stain resistant rug and according to your video that would be the Poly one. I do love Wool rugs though! But I have read they shed a lot and I’m afraid all the fibers will end all over the sofa, their beds etc. They like to play on the living room so that would be considered a high traffic area because of the kiddos. Would you recommend I go with Wool or the Poly? Thanks!!
Ummm sir. Are you stalking me? Cause you just posed a video about small apartment decorating which was perfect for me cause I just moved into my first apartment and now you’re posting about rugs...which I am in fact frantically looking for. You’re a hero!😂💕
Great advice. I am sure that I will never buy a $5,300 rug in my lifetime, though. An investment piece rug for me would be more like $530. :)
Don’t forget this ass says “a little more expensive” when referring to that rug. something that is the same as price as a down payment on a car. It is not “a little more expensive.”

I really enjoy your videos & find you very entertaining & informative. My kitchen is oddly shaped, with a few angles. I would like a rug or two, but unsure to get small rugs for in front of sink & stove. This seems old fashioned. Or 1 larger area rug that would be floating in the center of room with cabinets around. Maybe a circle rug in center. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
You are awesome. Love your videos!,
I just found your channel! Love it. Would you be okay with doing a home tour of your own place? I can see some nice pieces in the background of your living room but I'd love to see the wall treatments and furniture of all the rooms :)
Congratulations on the 200K subscribers!
Thanks! Just ticked over the 200k earlier today. Thanks for the support!
Lovely video with lots of Information and knowledge

Hey Nick! Congrats on 200000 subs!
Hey, thanks so much!
With one exception, being when the bottom rug is a closed loop, low pile jute, I find layered rugs a problem. They can be weird to walk on (too cushioned, like walking on jello), and the top rug travels and buckles as it is floating over a rug that has a nap and pushes the top rug along.
bahaha "I'm a little flustered", love your content thank you!
The LOHALS rug is so nice. So nice. Go buy it!
Great video ! Thanks !
