My client bought this area rug (9 x12) and wants to keep it in this room. The size of the room is 11 1/2 x 22, however, because the fireplace is on an angle I suggested pushing the rug down so that it doesn't block the entranceway of he room and to cut around the fireplace. They want to save money so how old they do this economically and are there any other suggestions for this?
