If your living room feels off and you can't figure out why... look down. Your area rug might be the problem. This is the single most common mistake I see as an interior designer, and it's quietly making your entire room feel disconnected and unfinished. 😬
The rule is simple: all four legs of your furniture should be ON the rug. Not hovering near it. Not half on, half off. ON it. If your rug is only under your coffee table, it's too small... HUGE MISTAKE. Size up, and watch how your whole room transforms. Save this before your next rug purchase. You can thank me later. 😏
And if this made you realize there might be a few more things in your home that aren't quite working, that's exactly why I built my design course. I'm teaching the real principles behind why rooms work, so you stop guessing and start designing with confidence. The waitlist is open NOW at RebeccaRobeson.com and it's launching later this month... don't miss it.
