AFFORDABLE AREA RUGS

Area rugs really ground the space in a room and they should be the base of your color palette. Your decor accents (i.e. pillows) should be pulling colors from your rug to tie the space all together. However, want to know the #1 design mistake with area rugs? Answer: wrong size!! More often that not, rugs are way too small for a space. A good rule of thumb is to never have your furniture floating around the rug. Either all of your furniture should fit on the rug in a large living space or the front legs of your furniture should be able to fit on the rug comfortably. The smallest size you should get for a living room is 8x10 unless you have a really tiny living room. I can even fit a 8x10 rug in my small SF apartment!

There’s soo many great affordable area rugs out in the market that look way more expensive than they actually are. While, I personally would love to have a an authentic Turkish or P{ersian rug, I do not have the funds to purchase one. Luckily, there’s a lot of great “look-a-likes” at a better price point! Alternatively, if you already own one, or wanted to purchase a smaller authentic woven rug as they are more wallet friendly, you could always layer that rug over a large Jute rug! Food for thought :)
