After: a much larger rug, even though it is still in a pale color palette, adds much more warmth to the space and, by tying all the furniture together makes the room feel larger, too! |

The right size rug for your room. Go big!
Area rugs are one of the very best tools to use to transform a room, second only to paint in making a big impact. But that tool is only effective if you size the rug properly. Often I find that my clients are living with a rug that is much too small for the space, and as a result no matter how many accessories they add the room won't ever feel quite finished. If in doubt I always recommend going bigger. Sure, it is more expensive, but a too-small rug only accentuates the unfinished feel of a room and you'd be better off not buying a rug at all until you can get the right size. Otherwise, you may just be wasting your money.
I'd like to share this fabulous guide from MI Corp. in the Seattle Design Center for sizing a rug for your room.
