NEW LIVING ROOM RUG AND A TIP FOR USING RUGS OVER CARPET

I've had a vision for what I want my Christmas decorations to look like this year, and am planning to tone down my super bold colors a little bit.  Now, there will still be plenty of color in the mix, just done in a little different way.  So, although I still love it, after a year I'm giving the big pink rug a little break with a new living room rug.  Today I'm also sharing a handy tip for using a rug layered on carpet with you too.  

First, here's a look at the rug!  I've got the 9x12 laid out here but think I might actually get the 10x14 instead.  We're hoping to put wood floors in here maybe next year so a little bigger would be nicer for the space.

Things were somewhere in between Fall and just starting to set up for Christmas when I snapped this photo.  I hadn't even planned on sharing this with you here so I didn't do a great job of documenting.  But guess what?  It's basically the same rug as the pink one, just a different color and slightly different pattern.  I love this brand so much and it's pretty affordable! 

I've layered a rug over carpet in several rooms in my home, but the 9x12 pink rug is the largest rug I've done that with.  It wasn't too bad, but I was getting a little bit of a divot/pucker under the furniture and coffee table legs since the rug wasn't lying on a hard surface underneath. So, when I laid the pink rug last year I searched around for a solution and came up with something that has worked out great.

As I mentioned, I originally just quickly shared this on Instagram last week and hadn't planned to share it here.  However, I know many of you aren't on IG and thought you might find this tip helpful as well.  All that to say, I filmed this video for IG and not the blog so it's a little rough and mis-sized but I think you'll still get the jist.  😁 

These are the plates that I used, they're cheap and should be available at any hardware store.  They really have made a difference so I hope this tip helps you if you've had a similar problem. 

As I mentioned, I love these rugs.  I have several versions in different rooms in my home-
