Define the “right size”

“You want all of the furniture on the rug, so when you're experiencing the rug, with your shoes on or off, it's immediately comfortable.”

Consider a quieter aesthetic

Brian recommends deciding on the rug's impact: whether it should be the star of the show or play more of a supporting role.

Always see a sample

“It's the nuances ... of texture and quality and thickness. Seeing samples in person is simply paramount to the design process.”
