It’s not large enough to fit under all the front legs of all the pieces of furniture BUT it works. However, it’s not the only option, Take a look at Allison Pierce’s living room rug. RULE: Your area rug should be large enough for at least the front legs of the sofa and all chairs to rest on top of it.Īgain, this rule is a great way to make your living room look and feel great. Now to end this WILD topic, let’s touch on living room rugs. home of allison pierce | styling by velinda hellen & erik staalberg | photo by sara ligorria-tramp | from: the no-reno house that looks completely renovated They’re the cool kids that do what they want. I feel like there’s an unspoken rule that when it comes to vintage rugs the rules don’t really apply. It looks cool!” I think this really works because of the relaxed style of the room and also because the rugs are vintage. Instead, they were like “we don’t care if this rug is too small OR that it’s running vertically not horizontal. In this bedroom (not in the book), you don’t have the same need to zone out different areas in the same room like the one before. Let’s talk more about that… photo by michael sinclair | via ad italia Basically, it just works!Īlso, this stunner is vintage which also makes it prime rule-breaking material. The size actually helps to create a divide between the bed and desk zones. This rug is also heavily patterned so if it were a lot bigger it might overwhelm the space and compete with the gallery wall. So a large plush, soft-under-your-feet rug would be a nightmare to have under an office chair. Now, first off this isn’t just a bedroom which I think is important to point out.

RULE: Ideally your rug should have at least 24″ on all three sides of your bed. But before I do that here is the general rule when it comes to choosing a rug size for a bedroom from our Bedroom Rules post: While I don’t know the exact reason behind this rug choice I have some ideas.
So above we have a room designed by William Hunter Collective and styled by the ole EHD alum styling team, Velinda, Erik, Emily Bowser, and Julie.

The whole idea of Em’s book is to teach you the rules/lingo and then show you how to make informed design decisions (and maybe break some rules) to make your house unique to you. So my decor is really the only thing I can truly “break some rules with” without breaking the rules of my lease. Last time, Emily wrote about bathrooms and it was pretty freaking inspiring to see the designers from her book really show off the real visual benefits of saying “Rules? Who needs ’em?!” And look, while I will never not love looking crazy cool bathrooms and kitchens, ya girl is a renter and will be for the foreseeable future. Welcome to round two of our design “rule breakers” series.
