How to Place Furniture on a Rug | Interior Design Video Lecture | Interior Designing: A Basic Training - Self Help Learning

so you would think that this wouldn't be
a big issue but it actually is even
amongst designers that are my peers
which is how to place your furniture on
an area rug I know it sounds really
mundane but it's actually you know there
are some tricks to it you want to make
sure that your rug is either one or two
ways actually one of three ways to be
honest with you it can either go
everything is on the rug so the rug
actually goes a couple of inches past
the furniture make sure that you have a
clear walkway that your rug is not half
in your walkway so that people aren't
tripping on it as a hazard another way
which is my favorite is that you have
the front two legs of your furniture
pieces on the rug so if you have it as
an area rug you have your sofa front two
legs on maybe you have a chair caddy
corner with its front two legs on and
your coffee table is completely on the
area rug that way you have a nice
perimeter of flooring around the rug it
makes it feel like the furniture is a
part of the room it's not held hostage
against the walls and it really feels
warm and inviting the third way is not
my favorite but it is done is that the
area rug is in front of the furniture
pieces it's not under the furniture it's
not behind the furniture it literally
sits under the coffee table for the most
part and then it goes right up to the
furniture pieces this is not my favorite
but like I said it is done and it is an
option the best one I really feel is
when you have two feet on and two feet
off
