My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Which way do I orient rug?

5 years ago

Hello. I have a living room/dining combo. For the living side, I’m not which which way to orient the rug.

For example, if I was putting the shown rug under the dining table, I’d run it with the tassels pointing north to south (windows face south).

Rug shown is 9x12.

Pls note - We’re re-doing this room. Couch, piano and dining area will stay. Everything else was placed to help me visualize accent chairs, etc.

Thanks!

rug runs north/south
rug runs east/west
