MEDIA ROOM RUG HOW TO
One of the biggest mistakes we see (as we’ve pointed out before) is the “ too small rug.” However, today I’m going to walk you through how to not only pick the right size but show you how to lay it out. There are a bunch of new rugs that we have sourced too. So, if you are now in the market for a living room rug, or just want to spice things up, we hope these formulas will help you find the one. And we get it! It’s a BIG piece that isn’t cheap so you want to get it right the first because also, who wants to return a rug? No one.

It’s one of our most requested topics in both “how” and “which one”. This room is upstairs, so we have woodent subfloors. This wouldn’t work for us downstairs because we have a concrete slab under our carpet.We’re back AGAIN with one of our favorite topics: rugs. And you know what?! It worked!! We removed the screws to see if there was any damage and because of how close the carpet fibers are you can’t even see the hole that was in the floorboard! That’s our hack! Screw it down! (Disclaimer: make sure you’re screwing into wooden sub-flooring. A while back, after trying every rug tape that ever lived, we decided to try screwing the rug into the floorboard. Especially when you have heavy furniture on top of it. The Rug we chose for this space is a large one-9×12’-and we have a HACK for you! Have you ever tried laying a rug on top of carpet? It honestly doesn’t work. I think it could also look great in a bedroom above a bed too! Did you know that Home Depot had all of this cool home décor to choose from? That bear honestly completes the space-and could really work in so many spaces. We paired those with this Wall Art (Bear Canvas) that is a whopping 54” x 54” wall hanging. The soft amber glow of the light really helps set that ambiance that we were looking for in a theater room. For the side wall, we really wanted warm, moody, modern lighting and these iron Home Decorator’s wall sconces fit that description perfectly.
