    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!

    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

  • @nadial1131
    @nadial1131 7 лет назад +146

    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
      @eizhowa 7 лет назад +10

      "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.)

      @@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.

    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.

    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!

  • @danielcastelo
    @danielcastelo 9 лет назад +93

    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.

      +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.
