The right size rug for your room. Go big!

While it's a couple years old, we just came across a nice blog post that features some timeless advice on choosing the right rug for your space (as well as some training material we offer our Design Partners). Here is a snipped from Rivalee Design by Rebecca West:

Area rugs are one of the very best tools to use to transform a room, second only to paint in making a big impact.  But that tool is only effective if you size the rug properly.  Often I find that my clients are living with a rug that is much too small for the space, and as a result no matter how many accessories they add the room won't ever feel quite finished.  If in doubt I always recommend going bigger.
