Affordable Area Rugs

Let’s talk rugs!

They define a space, add color and texture, and also help with the acoustics of a space by dampening noise! Next time you are in a loud space where you can hear every little thing, look around and I’m willing to bet they have mostly hard surfaces. 

Rug sizes can be tricky but I am here to help! 

In living room situation you want to at least have the front legs of all the furniture on the rug. If you have a larger space you want all the furniture on the rug to define the space and not have just a little floating island of 

In a bedroom you would either want to have all  of your bed and nightstand legs to be on the rug or start the rug just past the night stands and have it come past the bed. Two runners on either side of the bed can also work in a bedroom! 

In your dining room you want at least 24” from the back of the dining chair to the edge of the rug. This not only works with the look and proportions but it keeps your guest frame having wobbly chairs! 

Now there are exceptions to every rule! For instance.... in my current life stage (3 only dogs, one messy toddler), I have a rug that can be thrown in the wash (hey @ruggable) and I get it at a size that none of the furniture is on top of it. It just sits in the middle of my sectional and my arm chair so that I can pull it up easy. All I’m trying to say is you do you! If you like it, it works, if you don’t, call me and we can fix it!  

Below I have some great affordable choices that can change your space in an instant! Don’t forget a rug pad to extend the life of your rug and to add a little more thickness and cushion!

Happy shopping!
