I think a lot of people have smaller rugs because they simply aren't cheap and the ones that are...look it! So, if you want your room to look good and balanced, you're going to have to splurge on your rugs ladies and gentlemen.
The Hyatt Place Hotel looks really nice! I love how everyone was pitching in and helping.
What a difference the right area rug can make in a space, the hotel should invest a little money to "elevate" that room even more😃! Thank you Rebecca! I take Becky's recommendations seriously and my house is a reflection of that from the moment you walk in!
I'm just gonna say it - your skirt is fabulous!
YES!!! Pleazzzzzzze do a video about dealing with an angled fireplace. It is the bane of my existence! 🤬
Me, too!
Great advice! And it still cracks me up to hear you talk about places in Tulsa😅. When I started watching you years ago, I would have never thought that one day you would be local!
Yes do a video on angled fireplaces! I have one and it is the reason why I haven't redecorated. I don't where to put sofa, but don't want to block fireplace, don't know where to put T.V. so that you can see it.👏
Yes, please give us more tips for working with a corner fireplace in a family room. I can't figure out how to have symmetry/balance, the U shape with furniture, and a tv placement when it cannot go above the fireplace. Thank you!
As an almost 62 yr old lady I appreciate your journey both personal and professional. I love your style and I’m waiting for the Rebecca Robeson Eyewear line!
Talk about making lemonade out of lemons, turning an emergency hotel stay into this!! Thank you for this, and you look great!
Yes corner fireplace video would be great
Good video!!!!! Please do a video on corner fire places!!! I have one and awkward!!!!
My living room is right beside my dining area like Nina's. I only have a very small rug on the living room side. However, I've only found a great 9 x 12 wool + linen rug for the living room side. You've answered my thoughts on a rug under the dining table - none. Not only from a matching point of view, but I don't want to clean a rug with food on it all the time.
My parents always had a round rug under the dining table, and like Rebecca said, the back legs are OFF the rug, and then get all tangled up whenever any of us try to pull in our chairs. Ugh.
i love the explanation of how to choose the right rug
Shout Out to Hyatt Place for taking great care of you. Kindness speaks volume. Area rugs are not my strong point, thank you for this video, much needed help.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do a video on furniture placement with a corner fireplace.
Please do a corner fireplace video. I sent you my pictures and it has a corner fireplace in it. Thanks a million!
My dining room was used. Thank you Rebecca as I’ve been trying to convince my husband to purchase a bigger rug. I need a new light too. ❤ No feelings hurt here just a stubborn husband 😂. My living room rug is huge, bound carpet which was much cheaper than a rug.
Yes!!!!!! Please do a video on the “corner fireplace!” I have one too. Need help!!!! Please?
Those rugs are so beautiful. Wow, made the room look like a place I want to be.
Hyatt should buy the rug!
Please do one on corner fireplaces.
Love this! ❤ so helpful, and BTW, I vote yes on doing a video on corner fireplaces!
Wow, that was super nice of Ahmady's! It was so great to actually see the differences with the same furniture~
Please do the video about corner fireplaces, there is a need.
Perfect timing! I’ve been telling my hubby our rug was too small! If you say it is it is!!!!
Yes please do the corner fireplace video.
Design is the eye of the beholder.
Thank you that was so helpful. I would like you to see rugs when you have a corner fireplace. please.
Thanks for the feedback on my rug, Rebecca! ♥️Francesca 😊
My living room was used, thank you Rebecca!! So inspiring and generous!! Your experience is invaluable, I really appreciate 🫶🏻 keep on giving us valuable unique content ❤️
Your home, the parquet floors, + architecture, and your furniture & furnishings, including the luscious area rugs, are lovely, traditional, classic, + quality-looking (hard to tell from my tiny phone!). The pieces are beautiful.
I get the feeling your home exudes -- "world-travelled", David Austen Roses, live orchids in the baths -- even from such brief glimpses.
I'm getting the aesthetics of English country estates, Portugal.
It's really lovely & sweet of you to allow your HOME to be critiqued in this forum! That takes a very secure and self-confident lady. Loved it, thank you.
The larger rugs look so much better, thank you!
Your great tip - if you can select rugs before decorating it can help choose a colour palette - also great way to get your point over by setting up a rug in the hotel room 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 # feel better soon Becky
Hi, lovely that you will help us to improve our homes.
Please, can you say ithat in the title and when you speak ?
I think that people are more willing to change there home
when they did not hear there ‘mistake’,
but when they hear how to improve and make it
more plesant and beautiful than it is now.
Thank you for your time and effort !
Great video! I would love a video on corner fireplaces! The struggle is real. 😩
Wow amazing x Rebecca so pleased you are all safe after the storm x
Love that you used different rugs at Hyatt to make your point!
❤❤❤❤❤❤🙌 I see rugs sale going to a very high level!
Rebecca nailed it again 👏
Rebecca... what are your thoughts on placing a rug on carpeting?
Hope your back home soon thinking of you stay safe best wishes from the UK x
Yes! Corner Fireplace video, please!
I can say I loved large area rugs until I tripped, and fell, and broke my wrist. I lost the use of my right hand for weeks and am still healing. The area rugs in my rooms, that enhanced the look of wooden floors, were then donated. Sometimes rugs that extend slightly beyond sofas, tables, beds, and so on can become trip hazards. This should be considered before purchasing any rug.
Wow! Great information! Could you please do a corner fireplace video?
I have a corner fireplace with a TV over it. I would love to hear/see some idea as to how to best utilize the space without ripping it out. Using a small space.
I’m so sorry you had to leave your beautiful home. 😢 I hope the damage is able to be repaired quickly. Thank you for finding a way to set up videos for us!
Please do a video on corner fireplaces. Mine has been the baneof my existence for 26 years 😂
Mine too!
Rebecca,
Love this new series of videos that you are doing.
Yeees please, corner fireplace video 😊
Just when I thought I had it down-packed, I'm now headed to get a new area rug! It just makes sense🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️
Great start to this series! Looking forward to more!
Can you use the mouse to show us locations of things? When you point with your fingers, your hand covers up the image you’re trying to share. Thanks! Love your content.
Ms Robeson I soo wish you hàd done one on a round rugs
Rebecca, I am breaking SOOOOO many of your guidelines by building a [fake] corner fireplace in my square bedroom - AND angling the bed towards it! Due to a small corner window, my bedroom is off-balance anyway, and rather than fight the placement of closet and window, I’m embracing them so I can do a lavish window treatment (which would have been impossible had the bed been centered on the window wall) - while realizing my dream of gazing at a fireplace from bed.
I don’t understand why corner fireplaces are so difficult to work around. They make iron-no/glue-on edging for carpets, so all you need to do is lop off a corner of a rectilinear rug to correspond to the lines of the fireplace, and you’re good to go. Alternatively, circular and oval rugs can be employed. 😊
ps ~ I’m still abiding your advisory as to the need for balance (if not actual mirrored symmetry) in the bedroom - and will ensure the “weight” of the furniture & decor are distributed equally on either side of the bed!
Absolutely enjoyed seeing downtown Tulsa from your hotel!
Rug training 101 was so fun to watch. Point made!!!! Larger rugs always look better! Thanks Rebecca 👍
Loved this video. What a difference you made in that room. Size does indeed matter!😉🤣
Your “love life enthusiasm” is inspiring Rebecca!❤
Perfect topic today , because im trying to decide on an area rug for my new renovated living room ~ this is great !
We couldn’t find one bigger than 8x10. All the front legs do fit on it. We bought 2 one for the living part of the great room and the same size for the dining section. We can pull out the chairs without going off the rug, except when we use all the extensions.
awesome video,...love the practicality of your teaching style! thank you!
OMG, I’ve missed your videos. Got mixed up in the politics for the last few years and forgot how beautiful and mind refreshing your designs are!
Love the information on sizing and placement really makes a difference ❤❤❤❤
I like seeing real people's spaces and hearing your suggestions!
The rugs from Ahmady’s were absolutely gorgeous. So kind of them. 💕
I have the largest area rug I can have because of the walkway you talked about. And the way my den is laid out, I have a walkway on all 4 sides. So no walls have sitting furniture. BTW, I saw your 'too much stuff' video, first one I've ever seen. Everyone is right. You're spectacular. I subscribe to only a few channels and yours is one! TY. I'm gonna purge, and I changed from dark to light on my rug, can't change size. I love it! ❤️
Yes please do a video on corner fireplaces. I have a corner fireplace and a small living family room not too small though. So we also have a tv in there, not above the fireplace.
I Love this rug episode! I learned so much. Thank you
Simply perfection! It’s such a small detail, but the difference is huge. We’re building our new house and I will definitely take your advice. Thank You for sharing!
Please do a video on corner fireplaces! Love your videos
😮wowo 🤩thank you Rebeca for all great s ideas 💡❣️🙅🏻♀️and send you the biggest hugs and blessings 🫂 for this times!! Wish the naturally storm🙏🏻you be passing now🙅🏻♀️🙏🏻😘
I love all your tips! I submitted photos and my room definitely falls into the “too small” area rug category (among other problem areas) 😂 I’m glad I watched this! Now I know what to do to correct my area rug problem. ❤
Love these videos of big mistakes!!
YES PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT HOW TO DECORATE WHEN YOU HAVE A CORNER FIREPLACE 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😃😃
Oh yes please a video on a corner fireplace please please!!
I have a tall white corner fireplace with mink color wood floors..Need some ideas on how to set up my room please please
Furniture placement, rug sizes, before and after pictures are so informative. Thank you
Is there anything special to know about round rugs. I have a round dining table and have place a round rug underneath.
Love this series SO much!
Love the rugs you used in your demonstration.
Please I NEED the video on how to arrange furniture with a corner fireplace! My living room has a corner fireplace between 2 walls with large windows. The 3rd wall is the only one I can put the TV on. And there's no 4th wall because it opens to the dining room.
Yes! Please tell us how to decorate with a corner fireplace! YES!
Please do make a video about corner fireplaces!
This was very inspiring.
What a great series ❤❤❤❤❤
Well this video answered a lot of my questions. I had wondered if the area rug had to be bigger than whatever was on it? Meaning big enough so that the sofa, chair and cofee table (and/or ottoman) and fit on it. I also thought Rebecca looked like she had lost weight. But I thought maybe it was the camera angle or just me. But I didn't know that the area rug could be used to add a pop of color to a room. So that's good to know.
Excellent visuals! Thank you
Ms. R, I think the pointing works better with your finger, so long as the camera angle is right…
A very large room costs a fortune. And if you have great wood floors I believe you should show them. Agree, most rugs are too small.
I am so happy to see this video!!!! I have my area rung in the proper placement!!!! Yeh!!! I did it right!!!!!
Brilliant video Rebecca ,,,, seeing it really does help and your right it does look much bigger . I think NOW when people go to buy rugs they will remember this video. I know I will. I have learnt so much over the years by watching your videos . THANKYOU 👍🇬🇧
Lovely video...great ideas...just what I needed to know!!!Thank youxxx
Such an informative video. Thank you so much !
oh my gosh! I have the same medium rug that sofas foot outside.! Must buy a bigger rug now! Thank you ! Can we have also everything about the fireplace? Which kind should be for the living room, please?
Please do a video on corner fireplaces. We are looking to possibly move to the Dallas area and have been looking at homes. The builders there are obsessed with corner fireplaces. We are not fans and would love to see what you would do with a corner fireplace.
Totally enjoyed this!!!
I would LOVE a show about corner fireplaces. I want to get a rug, but I'm not sure if I butt the side of the rug to the hearth of the fireplace or set it straight with the walls. Thanks.
Hyatt should buy that 10 x 14 stat.
I like the biggest rug, for a room like that a 12'x 20' would have been awesome! Thanks Rebecca, I am very visual! Ahmady was amazing for letting you get your point across, what a great store!
Blessings 💕🤗
Excellent video, Thank you !!!
I love you videos! Please do one addressing a corner fireplace. It makes it the hardest rooms to place furniture.
Great tips and I definitely am guilty of the dining room rug being too small. Thank you.
Please talk about a room with a fireplace in a corner
Yes please
