DECOR BIG BANG
Like the look on set at Big Bang Theory?
Get the look by layering a plush solid (Byron) and a geometric tribal style rug (Anatolia).
Not an exact match, but comes pretty darn close doesn't it? There's a lesson in this: Finding something that comes pretty close to what you want isn't settling or giving in. It's facing the reality that many times finding the exact same item is nearly impossible, especially if it is not mass produced.

Look to the characteristics rather than the exact shapes, sizes and colors.
Formulas, not rules! You can truly take the things you love and pull them together with a broader formula instead of a hard and fast rule.

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better.
