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
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.
"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.
I am manufacturer of all carpet and jute rug you can buy from me .. i have lots of design and sample of rugs first you can see I can send you pics .. waiting for your reply Thankyou
This is great but what if my living room is one couch 🛋 coffee table, side table, book shelf and entertainment center? What goes on the rug and what doesn’t?
U can contact to me sir... I am manufacturer of carpet and jute rug?? I will make your project at affordable and reasonable price with fine quality. Waiting for your reply Thankyou.
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!
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.
What if you're trying to protect a really vintagey, really expensive to replace, wooden floor made in 1906? It's got a pattern of dark wood all throughout the honey colored wood.. so irreplaceable and I have kids..

I noticed the end table is partially on the area rug and partially off. I’m assuming that is OK? We are buying an area rug for our lanai and will come to this dilemma between the two sizes.
+Kristen Henry King (decode hollywood) yes, I would still apply this to sectionals. I just posted tips on how to choose the right rug size - bigger is better!
Awesome, thanks for the video I wasn't sure what rug size but with the visual effect of seeing am getting 9' by 12' Oh, what kind of rug is it? I like how it unfolded so easily it unfolded.👍👍

This is an awesome video, Emily, but I have a troubling question! My fireplace hits at a weird spot in the room, such that if I center a rug for the conversation area, it isn't centered with the fireplace. This drives me crazy. Should I just ignore that and prioritize seating?

Love that room! Beautiful! :)
It is nice. They made an effort to make it look a little too busy. I think it good they discussed getting an appropriate size rug for the room.
+HealthyGroceryGirl such a great room and love the morrocan rug - perfect!
How about tips on layering a smaller rug on top of a larger rug? This is where I struggle.
My kind of mid century modern look. Love the room!! The final rug also looks great
I personally would've stick with the 8x10. because you have beautiful hardwood floors don't need to cover all
I agree, when its so big you might as well just carpet the room.
What about a round rug, won't that look great in here. For example ones on here www.etsy.com/in-en/shop/Gyawun
Fantastic tips and very cute video! We are using this on our website to help educate our customers. Thanks for a great video!
She looks like Gweneth Paltro to me
I agree
She looks like Uma Thurman, when she was in kill bill.
And to me!
I’m thinking the woman from Good Girls or Kill Bill
And a little bit like Christina Hendricks but with blonde hair
i liked the 8x10 size better ,, beautiful room tho and loved all the furniture
What about the round end table that was half on half off the rug? 😆

+Daniel Cruz No...bigger is better for rugs! I just did a you-tube on this very topic :-)

What was the size of the first rug tried
I noticed the end table is partially on the area rug and partially off. I’m assuming that is OK? We are buying an area rug for our lanai and will come to this dilemma between the two sizes.
I have a question? Do the rule applies to sectionals, especially if one side is up against the wall?
+Kristen Henry King (decode hollywood) yes, I would still apply this to sectionals. I just posted tips on how to choose the right rug size - bigger is better!
Awesome, thanks for the video I wasn't sure what rug size but with the visual effect of seeing am getting 9' by 12' Oh, what kind of rug is it? I like how it unfolded so easily it unfolded.👍👍

Hey Emily, what size would you recommend for a living size of 18 x 17?
Im Having a hard time deciding what size rug goes with my small living room.. I need help
+lisapr8 it can be a tough decision! I just posted tips on how to choose the right rug size on my channel.
This is an awesome video, Emily, but I have a troubling question! My fireplace hits at a weird spot in the room, such that if I center a rug for the conversation area, it isn't centered with the fireplace. This drives me crazy. Should I just ignore that and prioritize seating?
Very helpful!!
Love it! So great to see you and Orlando on camera together again :)
Did anyone notice when she said bigger is better at 1:33 she looked directly at the front of his pants?
Is this what Apple Martin will look like grown up
Looks more like a blanket
This was so helpful . T.y.

Great tips! Choosing the right rug size always messes me up. Btw, you look so much like Gwyneth Paltrow. Thought I would just tell you that. Lol
i liked 8x10 tbh
It's like an energetic Uma Thurman and a hot gay dude.
You are so like KATE MOSS!!!!
Apparently Emily doesn't respond to any comments, smh.
best ideas
The blue rug looked better.
At this point why don’t you just get carpet?
She looks like Anne Heche and Uma Thurman
1:22 just listen from there 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾💀
Helpful!
Love that rug.
I wish the guy would have talked more..
LMAO--I wondered why he was even there! But I guess to help her move shit around☺
oh my word. you look like Gwyneth Paltrow... (not you Orlando)
All these rules, get a rug that fits your taste and style
Nice
nice movie saggy carpets
It was way to big IMO I liked the 8x10!
I prefer 6 9 rugs that's displayed like a piece of art on the floor.
Right so I'm off now to buy a much bigger rug! Great video and very helpful X
Always asked me what hes doing Orlando there he dont do anything
Just measure the space you have and that's why you do it!😂😂😂
No kidding on small rug
Wow
You can really pick some rugs
I’m out of breath watching this
Why bother with a hard floor... why not just get a carpet!
