hey, i'm ann myrick, and today i'm going toshow you how to pick out an area rug to compliment your room. this is a carpeted room, but, soi would not pick out an area rug to go on top of carpet, just for the sake of not havinghardwood floors, i'm going to show you what to do in this room. but, things to think aboutwhen you pick out your rug is you can get the measurement that you need, go to a retailstore, a carpet store, and pick out ready made, a carpet, area carpet. or, you couldalso, if you have a room that is an interesting configuration, or an interesting shape, youcan go to a carpet store and pick out the kind of carpet you want, and have most carpetsbound. so you can have the people come out, measure your room that has a different shape,and then have it bound and have a carpet that
is perfect for that room. things to thinkabout is what do you want the rug made out of? do you want it made out of wool? do youwant it made out of, like a sisel or a grass. i love texture, so i love the, all the grassand sisel rugs. but in picking out the rug, what you want to do is, if i was going topick out an area rug for this room, i would want most of the front legs of the furniture,at least, on the carpet, about a third of the way. an example of that, that way youfeel like the rug is down and is anchored. if the rug is just floating, then it feelslike meaning that there's not any furniture on it, then it feels like the rug was justthrown down, and it's not really there to stay. so, when you, when you put a rug down,just the example of the couch being on the
rug, there is about eight or nine inches ofrug underneath the couch. and that way it goes underneath, and then it comes out, andit would come all the way out. and then it could even go, like, a third of the way underthis chair. other things to think about is i like the boundry from the wall to the rugto be about the same. so if there's five inches over here, i would like to see five incheson the other side, or five inches all the way around. this is ann myrick, and that'show you pick out a rug.
