When designing a room, keeping proportion, function, and personality in mind are all important factors to curate a space that feels like a reflection of your style.
We asked three interior designers to spill the design rules they use to define a space that are easy to apply and keep in mind while decorating and renovating—read on for their advice.
Select the Right Size Rug for Your Space
Rugs are both pretty and practical—they're soft landing and can ground a space. More often than not though, interior designer Brittney Ferguson says she sees too-small rugs throwing off the proportions of a room. She says to beware because a small rug can trick your eye into thinking the space is smaller than it is.
How do you know your rug is the right size? Ideally, all furniture legs should sit on the rug, Ferguson says. When covering an entire room with a custom rug, the area rug should be a minimum of four inches and no more than two feet away from the baseboards.
