Hi thank you for all the helpful videos! Love your channel. I’m moving to a new house & the kitchen has espresso cabinets and white quartz with bay window dining area. My current dining table is espresso color and rectangular; can I use it in this space with bay window & the dark kitchen cabinets?
@@israelhc8947 HI and thanks for joining! Why don’t you drop me a Hi at hello@lisaholt.com and that way i'll be able to answer your questions more easily.
Boy, this was so refreshing to hear from an "adult' professional after landing on so many videos that I could not get through. I learned so much from this one. Thank you.
I subscribed to your fabulous channel a couple of months ago, and now that I have time, I am binge-watching. You are amazing at presentation, and I cannot believe all this knowledge you're sharing with us for free. You are a treasure! Thank you, Lisa!
OMG!!! I'm so glad you decided to stick around!! 🥰🌟 Thank you so much for your kind words - making these videos for you guys is the BEST job ever!! 😁🙌🏻 Thank you for being such a fabulous part of the channel, and happy binge watching! 😂💙
I love that even though you are highly trained and educated in design, you give budget options. This is true interior design, dealing with the reality of where people are. I bet you don't expect everyone to throw out every single thing in a room so you can design it. You work from where they are. ::smile::
Lisa,You are beautiful, so talented ,fun personality, smart & so fun to watch. I'm an artist, & so agree with all you see... you are absolutely awesome..
Shivani!!! YAYYY I win!!! 😆🙌🏼 This makes me so happy!!! 🥰 Welcome to the channel, I am SO glad that you are part of this FUN community!!! 🥳🎉 I can't wait to hear your feedback on all my future videos!!! Thank you SO MUCH for this sweet comment, thanks for saying hiiii!!! 😘💖🤗

rugs! i wasn't sure if i wanted to dive into that subject. it never seems as fun as some of the other design subjects....but you made it so informative (as usual) and ...never boring. thanks Lisa
i made the mistake of getting a rug that was too small for an already smallish room. when i replaced it with a larger black and white zebra stripe rug, omg, it changed the size and personality of the room. so much better, now! just found you...really enjoying your videos and in agreement with your advice.
Adrienne!! 🙌🏻 This space sounds SO groovy - I love it!!! 🤩👏🏻 I'm so glad you found the channel, and so excited to have you as part of my youtube fam!! 🥰💙 We have SO much fun - you'll love it!! Thanks for watching, and I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! 😘

I love your videos they are so informative thanks for great job👏 Please make video how to pick interior pieces like candle, vas etc and hiw many color can be pucked up and mixed that gives nice sophasticated style 💜💜💜💜
Lisa, I really like your videos because it feels like I am talking directly with a consultant. You get straight, to the point information. This makes it easy for me to make a design decision and move on. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Keep the videos coming.
Enjoying the videos. Would love to hear more about decorating with a grand piano as you did here. I've got one and once it's in place, not something you should move without calling the pros. Getting ready to move the grand to her forever home soon. I bet you've got some ideas or maybe a future video. Thanks !
Oooh S this is a GREAT question!!! 🤩💚 Do you sending it to my Q&A box at www.lisaholt.com/q-a-submission so I can get it on my list? 👏🏻👏🏻 I think this topic could work really well in a future Q&A video!! 🧡 Either way, I'll do my BEST to get back to you over there...thank you so much for this FABULOUS suggestion! 💕🥰
This is a great video thank you for all the tips Lisa! I have one question, what is the rule for area rugs in open plan living rooms (with 3 functions: kitchen, dining and sofa/TV) that aren't big spaces. Do you keep to just one area rug where the sofa & coffee table are? And do you still make it around 6inch wider on each side of each piece of furniture going on it? Or can the area rug be a little bit smaller?
Awww Jukes!!! YOU rock!! 🧡🌟 Thank you for always leaving me such sweet comments!! 🥰 You guys make my night with all of your kind words - thank you so much for supporting my channel...it means the world!! 💙😘
Love this week’s video! I am having the open concept room issue, and you’re the only person who has said the rug needs to be larger than the furniture placement. Everyone else says you can put just the front get of your furniture on the rug, and to me that has never looked right! Thank you for covering this subject!
Very informative. I hope you do a video on how to choose style/ color / materials / design of Carpet for people living in an apartment like in NYC thank you so much!☺️
Oooh Jerry I love that idea!! 🥰 I'd definitely love to talk a bit about apartment specific design...I have videos on rentals and videos on small space but not every apartment falls into those categories!! 😂 I'll put it on my list for sure - thanks for watching, and thanks for this fabulous idea!! 🤩💙
Thank you. That was a great starting point for me. Now, what I'd like you to cover sometime: 1) How to pick the design of the rug for the room and rest of your decor (aside from fabric, texture, and size, and how to make it go along with curtains 2) how to lay out furniture and other items in a room, 3) how to edit: how do you know when you have put too much furniture in a room? Or too little?? 4) how to draw all the colors together if you are using more than 1 monochromatic one and 5) how to accessorize a room, especially how to style entryway table, shelves, etc. THANKS!
Lisa, you said it's good to put a mat or underlay under the area rug, but didn't say what the purpose was. Is it to hold the rug in place, or is it to make the rug more comfortable on your feet? We recently bought a home and have been working with our local designer to make it our space so it was a great time for us to discover you. Thanks for sharing all your pro tips and tricks.
As usual great video packed with super useful info and your lively and humorous presentation! Rug shopping for me is a complete nightmare so this has helped calm me down. Thanks Lisa!
We have a round glass table for the nook area which is where we eat most of the time. Would you put a carpet underneath? we have porcelain tile flooring that looks like wood. I'm undecided....
What size runner for a 3ft x 16 ft corridor. This corridor is to all bedrooms, dead ends at a wall and leads to the main living space. I find a lot of 12ft long runners but 16ft not so much. Is it ok to be 4ft shy? I tried to scan the comments to see but didn’t see this Q. I was impressed with how many responses to comments there are. 👍
Tracy!! I always do my best to get back to everyone that comments in all my videos, it's so much fun to talk to you guys!!! 😋💓 Have you tried looking into getting a custom runner that is 16ft?
O!!! 🙌🏻 I will totally add stair runners to my list!!! 💕👏🏻 Little detail choice like that can make or break your look!! Great idea, and thanks for watching!! 💚🥰
Lovely Lisa, We've got a number of delicate silk rugs tucked under not so expensive carpets. Should we expose them under our coarse feet or still keep them underneath other coverings. Mammad from the Middle East
I love this video, very helpful. I know its been a while. However im seeing a jute carpet tile. You were saying they are good for high traffic area. I love the one which was a caramel color and it had a star like design. Was that costum made, and would I be able to find it? Its perfect for an entryway I'm doing.
Yay! So glad I know that I've helped! Be sure to send me a Hi! at hello@lisaholt.com, and I’ll add you to my Design Club list we’re launching soon, where we’ll livestream Q&A’s, do deep dives, feature Q&A’s and give lots of pro tips all about design, you’ll LUV it!
Love your content & useful tips, Lisa. My son & his wife just bought their first home: a 1913 2-story: so different from my mid-mod ranch! I cant wait to share your wisdom with them.
Ingrid!!! Rugs are TOUGH to get right - you'd never guess it but it's true!! 😂💜 So glad I could make this topic fun!!! 🥰 Thank you so much for this super sweet comment, and hope you're having a fabulous Thursday!! 💕🙌🏻
How do I determine area rug size for home office that's IN my living room??? Also don't like my living room carpet either since we have the classic apartment "tan" carpet. 😒
Thank you for this subject. Question, should the dining room rug, be the same pattern as the living room, if it connects from a great room? Not quite sure, if one should have the pattern and another plain, or something similar? TIA!
Love that you’ve said an area rug isn’t required under a dining table 😊. I just can’t imagine trying to cleaning up after the spills and general debris that would be inevitable, so thank you for saying it isn’t required! Do you have any videos that deal with rugs in awkward spaces? I have a smallish room that’s part corridor from hallway to kitchen, with the walkway essentially a diagonal across one edge of the room. It’s a really unbalanced space with a single door on one side and a double door sized opening on the other in the wall. The room is small so furniture is just pushed against the walls .... it’s really a troublesome space that’s giving me a headache! Any guidance on how to find a solution and make the space feel from content in videos would be amazing! Thank you ☺️
Suze!!! I TOTALLY get this - depending on your situation, some pieces just don't make any logical sense! 🙌🏻 An area rug under a dining table is a perfect example! 😂💖 As for the awkward spaces, I don't have a video on that topic yet - but I'll totally put it on my list!! 💚👍🏻 I'd love to do an awkward spaces series - everybody ones got a few of them! 😂💚 Thanks for this suggestion, and thank you so much for watching! Hope your week is off o a fabulous start! 🥰
👋 Hello! Can I have a rug if the traffic flow is walking through the middle of it? Or, should I use two smaller rugs for each recliner? If I should go large, do I include the TV furniture or is it just for the recliners? Thank you in advance! 🤗💕
This is the best continuing education for my business! YOU should teach Interior Design classes at a college. You are easy to understand and break down the content in a way that’s easy to follow and informative. I love a down to earth designer without a huge ego also! Can’t wait to see more videos and THANK YOU. Going to replay and take notes!!!
Thanks for making this video! I was completly lost with this topic and not able to choose a rug because of missing one information - what's the right size? Thanks for helping me with your instructions, now I can go to the shop and buy a new rug that will really fit my living room!
Yay!!! 🙌🏻 So glad you enjoyed the deep dive on rugs!! 🌟 Such a fun topic!!! Thanks for this sweet comment, and thank you for being a part of my youtube family! 🥰💖 Hope you're having a fabulous week so far!! 😘
Lisa. Thanks so much for your content and for sharing your talent. I really enjoy watching you and anyone who has not only talent but EXPERIENCE and who does not feel threaten by sharing their pro-tips and resources.
Lots of design advice out there, but Lisa, you're the "real deal". Your expertise and professionalism shine through, yet you are engaging and fun. You're not intimidating or pushy or judgmental; just passionate about creating beautiful spaces done right. So happy I found this channel! Can you explain what the Design Club is? Thanks!
Carol, Thanks so much for subscribing! Send me a Hi! at hello@lisaholt.com, and I’ll add you to my Design Club list we’re launching soon, where we’ll livestream Q&A’s, deep dive and give lots of pro tips all about design.. going to be FAB! ;)
Always informative, but I still have questions. How many feet beyond bed should ideal carpet be? Where does it start? Also please cover rules for living room. Does entire sofa sit on or just front legs?...lots of confusing data out there.
I only buy wool rugs, they are SO worth the extra cost. So beautiful, soft, durable, cleanable and no static or electric shocks. That’s really important for dry climates, like mine, where the indoor relative humidity rarely goes above 15-20%.
Kimberly!!! I love this tip - wool is SUCH a fabulous material!!! 🙌🏻 Super stylish, and super functional!!! 💙🌟 Thank you so much for this fabulous suggestion, and happy Thursday!!! 🥰💚
I am looking for a carpet for a small room: 1) 7ft 1in x 10ft.7 in It seem online they do come in size like that with padding. 2) It will be for a computer room with laptop and printer and computer repair station so I need one with litter static as possible What carpet type would be good?
April!!! Your living room sounds FABULOUS! 🤩💖 Such a good call with that Home Depot pad - doesn't it make a huge difference?? 🙌🏻 Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your gorgeous space!!! 😘❤️
Hi Ryan! I’m not a super big fan, unless the conditions are right. Check out my mistakes video where I explain the details you’ll need to be able to pull this off…🙌🏼🥰😘
I'm just adoring you! Watched about 10 of your videos just this morning. I have all hardwood on the first floor and do have a more open concept. I was the one that mentioned a few minutes ago in a different one of your videos that I decided on a less expensive couch and went with the Soderhamn corner sectional which seats 6 comfortably vs. my destroyed RH. I thinking going with a hide rug at an angle (to warm up the space) as I have one in my entry and it's bullet proof with my animal!! Essentially, I would try to get a very large one and angle it as I don't want a sectional, a square coffee table and a large area rug that is semi square/rectangle. I'd just place it at an angle. We are empty nesters so two ppl living in a large home. However, being raise a Vegan I struggle with it!!! My husband purchased our entry hide rug 8 years ago and it is completely indestructible and I morally struggle with it, but holy cow :) it's been a trooper. We were fortunate it did not cigar and had no patching. I just don't know a decent vendor I can get one from that won't cigar and won't be patched on the top surface and my husband doesn't recall where he got it. Perhaps you think I might just go with a basic rug that mimics the same shapes of the rest of the furniture? Do you know a reputable vendor for cowhide rugs?
Hi Francesca thanks so much for your kind comments! I'm so glad you've joined the channel! I know what you're saying about the cowhides, so you'll one want to stick to an American supplier. They have bigger hides than European suppliers. You could also consider a fake one, several of the vendors at the end of the rug video will carry the faux version, however, in my experience, they don't last as long.
I love light colored rugs. So pretty and brightens everything up. I’m looking for one that can handle high traffic. What about carpet tiles? I am working within a great room “L” shaped. I’m still hunting.
YES Yvonne, I love carpet tiles!! 🤩💕 Such a good option for flexibility AND performance!!! 👍🏻💖 One of my fave vendors is FLOR here in the US!! Hope this helps! 😘🌟
Thank you, Lisa!!! I would like you to talk about picking rugs for certain rooms. I am in the middle of choosing a rug for my office, but my artwork is off from my rug... Back to the drawing board.
great information. Could you go deeper into rug placement. How wide should a stair runner be? How large should a rug in a dining room be? How much rug should there be around a bed?
Great questions Victoria! I think he would really love the new design club that I am in the middle of creating… It won’t be ready until December January, however it’s going to have all these questions answered and a Tunmore stuff that I think he will love! Go to www.lisaholtdesign.com to at least get on our emailing list! 🙂
Super, totally comprehensive video. Enjoyed that ! I had my carpet supplier do me a couple of big area rugs. They just put the edge on them and they look great. I must get the under-pads for them though. Thanks Lisa.

Is it ok to be 4ft shy? I tried to scan the comments to see but didn’t see this Q. I was impressed with how many responses to comments there are. 👍
Tracy!! I always do my best to get back to everyone that comments in all my videos, it's so much fun to talk to you guys!!! 😋💓 Have you tried looking into getting a custom runner that is 16ft?
Very informative video. Just got ur self a new subscriber.
Yay!🎉💕🍾 Welcome!!!!
Could you do a video on stair runners? It’s so hard to figure out where to buy and how to approach staircase runners.
O!!! 🙌🏻 I will totally add stair runners to my list!!! 💕👏🏻 Little detail choice like that can make or break your look!! Great idea, and thanks for watching!! 💚🥰
This information is excellent!!! Thank you so much.
Yay Marian!!! 🙌🏻💕 So glad I could help! 😁 Thanks for watching, and hope your week is off to a great start!! 😘
Lovely Lisa,
We've got a number of delicate silk rugs tucked under not so expensive carpets. Should we expose them under our coarse feet or still keep them underneath other coverings.

I love this video, very helpful. I know its been a while. However im seeing a jute carpet tile. You were saying they are good for high traffic area. I love the one which was a caramel color and it had a star like design. Was that costum made, and would I be able to find it? Its perfect for an entryway I'm doing.
Fantastic advice....Thank you -as we are redecorating and the builders are in - this information is priceless.
Yay! So glad I know that I've helped! Be sure to send me a Hi! at hello@lisaholt.com, and I’ll add you to my Design Club list we’re launching soon, where we’ll livestream Q&A’s, do deep dives, feature Q&A’s and give lots of pro tips all about design, you’ll LUV it!
Shaw! So good.
OMG Wats! Yay!!! 🥳🥳 I'm always here to help with your design dilemmas!! 💙😘 Thanks for watching, and thank you for supporting my channel!! 🥰💚
Love your content & useful tips, Lisa. My son & his wife just bought their first home: a 1913 2-story: so different from my mid-mod ranch! I cant wait to share your wisdom with them.
WhooHoo! So glad to know I’ve helped!
You crack me up! 😄 I feel like I've done rugs all wrong for years. Thank you!
Ingrid!!! Rugs are TOUGH to get right - you'd never guess it but it's true!! 😂💜 So glad I could make this topic fun!!! 🥰 Thank you so much for this super sweet comment, and hope you're having a fabulous Thursday!! 💕🙌🏻
How do I determine area rug size for home office that's IN my living room??? Also don't like my living room carpet either since we have the classic apartment "tan" carpet. 😒
Thank you for this subject. Question, should the dining room rug, be the same pattern as the living room, if it connects from a great room? Not quite sure, if one should have the pattern and another plain, or something similar? TIA!
Love that you’ve said an area rug isn’t required under a dining table 😊. I just can’t imagine trying to cleaning up after the spills and general debris that would be inevitable, so thank you for saying it isn’t required! Do you have any videos that deal with rugs in awkward spaces? I have a smallish room that’s part corridor from hallway to kitchen, with the walkway essentially a diagonal across one edge of the room. It’s a really unbalanced space with a single door on one side and a double door sized opening on the other in the wall. The room is small so furniture is just pushed against the walls .... it’s really a troublesome space that’s giving me a headache! Any guidance on how to find a solution and make the space feel from content in videos would be amazing! Thank you ☺️
Suze!!! I TOTALLY get this - depending on your situation, some pieces just don't make any logical sense! 🙌🏻 An area rug under a dining table is a perfect example! 😂💖 As for the awkward spaces, I don't have a video on that topic yet - but I'll totally put it on my list!! 💚👍🏻 I'd love to do an awkward spaces series - everybody ones got a few of them! 😂💚 Thanks for this suggestion, and thank you so much for watching! Hope your week is off o a fabulous start! 🥰
👋 Hello! Can I have a rug if the traffic flow is walking through the middle of it? Or, should I use two smaller rugs for each recliner?
If I should go large, do I include the TV furniture or is it just for the recliners? Thank you in advance! 🤗💕
So how do to handle carpets/rugs in great room with floor outlets for lamps? What do you do about cords?
This is the best continuing education for my business! YOU should teach Interior Design classes at a college. You are easy to understand and break down the content in a way that’s easy to follow and informative. I love a down to earth designer without a huge ego also! Can’t wait to see more videos and THANK YOU. Going to replay and take notes!!!
Thanks for making this video! I was completly lost with this topic and not able to choose a rug because of missing one information - what's the right size? Thanks for helping me with your instructions, now I can go to the shop and buy a new rug that will really fit my living room!
Hi Lisa, What a great amount of information you gave us. I really enjoyed this session and I sure do appreciate all your knowledge♥

Lots of design advice out there, but Lisa, you're the "real deal". Your expertise and professionalism shine through, yet you are engaging and fun. You're not intimidating or pushy or judgmental; just passionate about creating beautiful spaces done right. So happy I found this channel! Can you explain what the Design Club is? Thanks!

M!! YAY!! So glad to help you guys out!! Love it!! 💖❤️
Love this channel. To the point and informative.
Thank you so much Marie!
Always informative, but I still have questions. How many feet beyond bed should ideal carpet be? Where does it start? Also please cover rules for living room. Does entire sofa sit on or just front legs?...lots of confusing data out there.
Thanks Lisa, you're very easy to follow, you give this positive way of finding a solution to things
Hey Susana! Thanks so much for your kind comment, I'm glad you enjoy my videos! Tune up for more fun stuff!
Good information. Thanks
YAY!!!! That is AMAZING to hear!! 🙌🏼 I'm always here to help you guys solve your design dilemmas 💞💞
Love your videos! Very informative! Can I place a rug in a carpeted area?
Love that idea for area rugs. 👍
Love your personality and how you explain things!
I'm so glad you love the deep dives! Theres more coming...
@@LisaHoltDesign How can I get in touch with you about designing some rooms in my home?
Question: in a Condo high traffic area/walk space, should I not include that walk area when measuring for a rug?
I only buy wool rugs, they are SO worth the extra cost. So beautiful, soft, durable, cleanable and no static or electric shocks. That’s really important for dry climates, like mine, where the indoor relative humidity rarely goes above 15-20%.
Kimberly!!! I love this tip - wool is SUCH a fabulous material!!! 🙌🏻 Super stylish, and super functional!!! 💙🌟 Thank you so much for this fabulous suggestion, and happy Thursday!!! 🥰💚
Do you find it hard to keep clean? I know any spill must be blotted right away.
I am looking for a carpet for a small room:
1) 7ft 1in x 10ft.7 in
It seem online they do come in size like that with padding.
2) It will be for a computer room with laptop and printer and computer repair station so I need one with litter static as possible
What carpet type would be good?
Lisa what is your advice about the color of the rug when you already have your furniture ?
My living room rug is filling the entire space with the Home Depot pad underneath. Brought the large space together perfectly!
April!!! Your living room sounds FABULOUS! 🤩💖 Such a good call with that Home Depot pad - doesn't it make a huge difference?? 🙌🏻 Thanks for sharing, and enjoy your gorgeous space!!! 😘❤️
I was looking for information about placing a rug over a carpeted living room. Can give examples and is it a good idea to do so.
Hi Ryan! I’m not a super big fan, unless the conditions are right. Check out my mistakes video where I explain the details you’ll need to be able to pull this off…🙌🏼🥰😘
This was very helpful. Thanks!
Yay Goldie!! 😁 SO glad I could help! 💕 Happy New Year's! 🥂🥳
I'm just adoring you! Watched about 10 of your videos just this morning. I have all hardwood on the first floor and do have a more open concept. I was the one that mentioned a few minutes ago in a different one of your videos that I decided on a less expensive couch and went with the Soderhamn corner sectional which seats 6 comfortably vs. my destroyed RH.
I thinking going with a hide rug at an angle (to warm up the space) as I have one in my entry and it's bullet proof with my animal!! Essentially, I would try to get a very large one and angle it as I don't want a sectional, a square coffee table and a large area rug that is semi square/rectangle. I'd just place it at an angle. We are empty nesters so two ppl living in a large home. However, being raise a Vegan I struggle with it!!! My husband purchased our entry hide rug 8 years ago and it is completely indestructible and I morally struggle with it, but holy cow :) it's been a trooper. We were fortunate it did not cigar and had no patching. I just don't know a decent vendor I can get one from that won't cigar and won't be patched on the top surface and my husband doesn't recall where he got it. Perhaps you think I might just go with a basic rug that mimics the same shapes of the rest of the furniture? Do you know a reputable vendor for cowhide rugs?
Hi Francesca thanks so much for your kind comments! I'm so glad you've joined the channel! I know what you're saying about the cowhides, so you'll one want to stick to an American supplier. They have bigger hides than European suppliers. You could also consider a fake one, several of the vendors at the end of the rug video will carry the faux version, however, in my experience, they don't last as long.
I love light colored rugs. So pretty and brightens everything up. I’m looking for one that can handle high traffic. What about carpet tiles? I am working within a great room “L” shaped. I’m still hunting.
YES Yvonne, I love carpet tiles!! 🤩💕 Such a good option for flexibility AND performance!!! 👍🏻💖 One of my fave vendors is FLOR here in the US!! Hope this helps! 😘🌟
Thank you, Lisa!!! I would like you to talk about picking rugs for certain rooms. I am in the middle of choosing a rug for my office, but my artwork is off from my rug... Back to the drawing board.
That's a great request Stacey! 😊 I'll add it to my list!
Learned a lot. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Great information. Thank you.
WhooHoo! So glad to know I’ve helped! It’s so much fun answering peoples’ questions!
great information. Could you go deeper into rug placement. How wide should a stair runner be? How large should a rug in a dining room be? How much rug should there be around a bed?
Great questions Victoria! I think he would really love the new design club that I am in the middle of creating… It won’t be ready until December January, however it’s going to have all these questions answered and a Tunmore stuff that I think he will love! Go to www.lisaholtdesign.com to at least get on our emailing list! 🙂
Super, totally comprehensive video. Enjoyed that ! I had my carpet supplier do me a couple of big area rugs. They just put the edge on them and they look great. I must get the under-pads for them though. Thanks Lisa.
YES! Thanks so much for your kind comments, and thanks for joining my channel!
