DON'T MAKE THESE MISTAKES WHEN BUYING A RUG

You’ve been lied to about rugs. Specifically, by everyone who stopped the conversation at size. Yes, sizing matters, that should be common knowledge by now. But nobody’s talking about the rest of it: shape, material, pattern, and how the path of travel through a room should actually inform the design you choose. That’s where most people quietly go wrong and never know why the room feels slightly off. A rug isn’t just an anchor. It’s not there to stop your furniture from looking like it’s hovering in existential crisis. It should match how you actually live in the space, a high-traffic hallway and a formal sitting room are not having the same conversation, and your rug choices shouldn’t either. Get the shape wrong and the room fights itself. Get the material wrong and you’ll hate it within a year. Get the pattern wrong and suddenly everything else in the room is competing for attention. Size is just the beginning. The rug is doing a lot more work than it gets credit for. . . #interiordesign #interiordesigner #rug #homedecor #homeimprovement
