    I had to laugh when you shared that you buy the area rug first and then build your design from it, because my friend does the same thing with her shoes. She chooses her shoes first and then from there she chooses her outfit and accessories. ❤️

    I really learned a lot here. Especially the comparison of different materials like silk, wool, polyester and where they work best in the home. I was buying polyester for kitchen area but learned on my own that not a good fit for me as I cannot clean them with any water and I prefer not to throw them away.

    Wool rugs are EVERYTHING. I own 2, you're right they look brand new after shampooing. I recently stored one I've had for about 12 yrs. I literally shampooing it 5x, letting it dry between each shampoo. It is immaculate. So worth the money if you can make that splurge. You'll eventually spend the same amount on replacing multiple "throw away" rugs.

    Totally agree with yr motto - Buy well, cry once.
    I spent thousands of dollars on a silk Persian rug for the living room...over the past 10 years, it has maintained its rich colours and luxurious feel, totally justifying its cost. Actually, it is surprisingly tough (so I wouldn't just confine silk carpets to decorating the wall). And of course, nothing compares to the feel of soft, smooth silk on your bare feet!

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You’ll see silk rugs in bedrooms since it’s less foot traffic and won’t crush the pile Chia. So luxurious indeed 😍

    This video was super helpful Julie! And practical. No rug in the dining room. One subject that I struggled with a corner fire place for a few years. It's located in a small (about 13 X 14 ft) open-concept living room with hard wood flooring. I used overlapping identical circular rugs, which actually was ok for a while. Last year, I had carpeting store professionals make one that defined the seating area, and that corner fireplace. It wasn't nearly as expensive as I imagined--less than $1500 with padding. My stress level is less too. : ) An expense for sure, but ok if I stay a long while in my house ; and some options if it's in good condition when moving. Sell to new buyer, or someone in neighborhood with same floor plan.

    • @JulieKhuu

    Thank you Julie for another great video! I am currently in the process of replacing my formal dining and living room rugs(I am tired of them), but I have put it off since I would have to re-paint and hang new art that would be cohesive with the new rug. Right now everything blends well together... So I am stumped. The videos help. So I may tackle this in the Summer. The dining room table is heavy though and will be a bugger to move. So part of the reason for the delay. I too buy the rug first and then paint... Easier to do this then find the perfect affordable rug that works with the design style. 😊

      @@JulieKhuu I also tied the art in with the rug and paint. The dining room is a tastefull deep red and the rug matches it well. The art has cherry wood frames with original art(local well known artist L.R. Mongomery) and a print I found with a beautiful country scene with accents of fall colors(red, gold, yellow, bronze trees)with a warm bronze frame. The table is cherry with a mission style with beautiful graining(bought in the 1980's) seats six. I am an artist also and I have a new painting I just finished of my son and husband at the lake that I want to hang. It is hard to mesh colors together. I think I can use this painting in my living room? The walls are soft cream with a hint of yellow and the painting has the blue/green of the water--reddish cream/brown of the beach and green/brown treeline and crystal clear blue sky. I framed it myself in a warm brown wood and bronze. I am hoping it will work. I still have a light house painting that I did that I like, but still no place to hang it yet. More on the cool color side... I will figure it out... I just need to find the time to do it(I work full-time) 😊

    The info on materials and care was really helpful. A sourcing guide would be great! I’ve been hunting for a large (10x13 or 11x14) living room rug and it’s been a challenge to find a style, material, price and size wanted. Specifically I’m curious about wool Moroccan, Turkish, Aztec type styles in neutrals but I’ll be replacing more rugs soon so any sourcing info would be valuable.

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Standard sizes are 9x12, 11x13, 12x15 Kelly. Anything in between is usually custom. Filter the rug sizes from any of the vendors I linked in the description box. These sizes are more expensive of course in the materials you listed, but worth it when you’ll have it forever!

    hello Julie, I just found a great wool 8 x 10 area rug in TJ Max home goods here in california. Can I add a bit of blue dye to a few of the flowers in the patterned rug to bring in the blue grey of the walls?? the rug is shades of neutral gray.... Can I use a blue sharpie or light blue sharpie on the inside of the grey flower to turn it a blue gray instead of dye??? I cannot wash the dye out since it is a big rug and king bed sits on it...The spots I want to color are just the size of a dime!. thoughts please. love your blog love your taste and you are so very practical.. happy holidays, ellen.

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Ellen, I have never tried that actually. If it’s 100% wool, it will definitely “eat” the dye/ color, as opposed to nylon/ synthetic fibers. I would try a small corner first and see how it does or if you even like it

    Totally agree Julie about an are rug over wall to wall carpeting, especially when it's apartment grade drab carpeting to add some interest pattern and personality and to define a space, just as they are used over solid flooring. Hear often it's faux pas to do so but I disagree.

    Julie, thanks. Really helpful video. Two quick questions if I may; 1. Is it ok to have all 4 feet of one piece of furniture and only two feet of others? 2. If there's an alcove in the middle of the room, is it best to distance the rug from the wall at either side of the alcove or the alcove itself? If I distance the rug 6 inches from the alcove it almost feels like the rug is too small.
    Thanks
