It’s SPRING! Don’t Tell Mother Nature!
It’s SPRING??? I have to start this post with something I keep saying over and over. This has been the WEIRDEST winter EVER!!! Even born-and-raised Idahoans say the same thing. IT’s a WEIRD winter!!! One person I talked to is a 3rd generation and no one remembers a winter like this. We have had very little snow. We get snow, then we get rain and the snow is gone. March 1st and I have no snow except MAYBE a pile under a tree. MAYBE!! Seriously, IDAHO! NO SNOW in March?? WHAT?!?!? Now all that whining is NOT really WHINING. It’s an observation. So please, Mother Nature, I am fine. I AM FINE!! I do not need you to show me what ‘COULD BE’. I’m fine. I really shouldn’t have even brought it up….. so erase, erase… forget I said anything.
As you no doubt have noticed I am in FULL, SPRING mode. I’m ready for flowers, hummingbirds, and butterflies. I’m also ready for spring cleaning (YOU KNOW I’m lying about that part!)
I AM ready to add some spring color and texture to my livingroom. I started with a light dusting of furniture (I’m lying here too! It’s FILTHY in here!) After dusting and vacuuming I added the perfect area rug. I am absolutely GIDDY over my new area rug!!! I swear this rug transformed my room into a SPRING!!! It’s SO PRETTY!!!
The room went from dark to light by just adding a A RUG!!
Sylvie Washable Boho Modern Parisian Garden Floral Beige Rug
I was worried that this area rug would take some work to lay flat since it arrived folded. I’m not sure what magic folding technique the folks at Lahome do, but, other than one teeny TINY wrinkle in the center (by day 3 it was absolutely GONE!) there are no wrinkles! Magic I tell ya…. MAGIC!
This rug is SOFT, lay on the floor SOFT. It’s so pretty!
The rug has grip on the underside so it doesn’t move around on the carpet. I’m ABSOLUTELY certain it wouldn’t move if I had tile or wood flooring.
Washable. WHAT!?!? An area rug that I CAN WASH?? Magic. That’s all there is too it.
It’s SO PRETTY!!!

Styling Area Rugs in Your Home
I couldn’t believe that by simply adding an area rug to the room transformed the space and tied all the elements together. I can’t believe how my side table blended the room and rug together. AMAZING!! I have a few tips on how to style area rugs in different rooms of your home:
Living Room
- In the living room, choose a large area rug that can anchor the seating area and define the space.
- Opt for a rug with a bold pattern or vibrant colors to add personality to the room.
- Make sure the rug is large enough to fit all the furniture legs on top of it for a cohesive look.
Bedroom
- In the bedroom, place a plush area rug on either side of the bed to create a cozy landing spot for your feet in the morning.
- Consider layering a smaller rug on top of a larger one for added texture and visual interest.
- Choose a rug with a soft, neutral color palette to create a calming atmosphere in the bedroom.
Dining Room
- In the dining room, opt for a rug that is large enough to accommodate the dining table and chairs, even when the chairs are pulled out.
- Choose a rug that can handle spills and stains, such as a durable indoor-outdoor rug.
- Consider a rug with a geometric pattern to add a modern touch to your dining space.
The KITCHEN!!!
Can I please have THIS kitchen?? Ohhh and the rug…. but ohhhh that kitchen!!
The Benefits of Area Rugs
Not only do area rugs add style and warmth to a room, but they also offer some practical benefits as well. Here are a few reasons why area rugs are a great addition to any home:
- Sound Absorption: Area rugs can help reduce noise in a room by absorbing sound and creating a quieter environment.
- Comfort: Walking on a soft, plush rug is much more comfortable than walking on a hard floor, making area rugs a great choice for bedrooms and living rooms.
- Protection: Area rugs can protect your floors from scratches, spills, and other damage, extending the life of your flooring.
I would love to hear which rug makes your heartbeat a little faster.

I’m ready for Spring except for the allergies, oh and cleaning, jk. I love that kitchen too, that rug is beautiful. It snowed here last night and supposed to again on Wednesday, ugh. It has snowed a lot here this Winter in the Mid-West. I hate it but it’ll be HOT before we know it here.

area rugs are lovely but do pose a fall risk. ensure they are installed in such a way that they don’t shift, buckle, or pose a safety hazzard. there are products out there that will stabilise area rugs. thanks

I am perfec tly fine with Spring coming to stay. It has been a weird Winter here in KY, too. We usually get a few small snows but we got hit by a snowstorm that had me snowed in for weeks! Your rug really looks like Spring to me!
