This article will go into depth on how to choose the style that reflects you, what size rugs for living room looks best, and the material that would be best for a living room.

Being intentional and conscious about this process will give you the best results.
Introduction into choosing a style:
When choosing a rug for the living, think about how it will be used, and more importantly, who you are. Are you the type that enjoys entertaining friends and family or are you the type to watch TV after a long day of work? When taking a step into the living room, how do you want others, along with yourself, to feel. Identify the vision(s) of the living room and find a rug that matches the environment(s). Bringing that vision to life is what success is, which can only be manifested if one knows themselves and is intentional in the buying process.
Choosing the Right Piece:
The rug is usually one of the last pieces to be chosen in a room. So instead of focusing on finding the perfect rug, we suggest taking a step back and looking at what you have already created. Look at the big picture and define the interior design style that you may, or may not have, consciously created, and define the environment you are going for. There are two ways about defining the style: through your personality and through interior style pieces.
We believe that the personality of the individual is linked with the interior style, but some people do not think in that manner. For example, someone who is focused, determined, and conscious of their time would not want a lot of furniture and accents to distract them from their bigger purpose, therefore, they might only include what is necessary, making them resonate with a minimalist interior design style.
Some homes already have the atmosphere defined, such as urban living, a cottage home, or a traditional home. If the architecture is already to your liking, then capitalize on what is already there and bring pieces that will enhance your vision. This, however, is not a path that has to be enforced by following a set of rules. Make it your own, add your personality to what is already created.

The living room is the room where my siblings and I played games together, watched TV after school, where we fought and were forced by our mother to make up, stayed up past our bedtimes to watch movies and eat popcorn without our parents’ consent, the place we slept at when we were too tired to go to our rooms. If there was not a room for all of us to gather, the connections and bonds with my siblings would not have been as strong.
How do you want the living room to make you feel in ten, twenty years? What memories will you make? Is it with a significant other, kids, friends or is it just you and a pet?
