I’ve always loved our dining room but knew it was missing a key part that could help the room finally feel complete! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A room update doesn’t always have to be huge to make a difference! Our dining room update consisted of just one more element to tie everything together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here was our dining room last Fall:<\/p>\n\n\n

A rug does wonders to make a room feel complete. We’ve slowly been adding rugs to our home over the years. With each addition our cottage feels more and more cozy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we were always hesitant to add a rug under our dining table. I mean, with 3 little kids eating spaghetti can you blame us?! When Boutique Rugs<\/a> approached me about their new line of washable area rugs I was all for it! This was the perfect opportunity to finally complete our dining room in a beautiful, real-life-friendly way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing our newest addition: the Cream Hera Washable Area Rug<\/a> by Boutique Rugs!<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s amazing how much a rug can make a difference!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This rug really was just what the doctor ordered! Even though we measured ahead of time we were surprised at how well it fit in the space and how the light color made the room feel larger. If you’ve been around here for even a minute you know I love blue and white…so the blue\/gray design on top of the cream background was SO perfect for this space!<\/p>\n\n\n

This rug is thinner than our other rugs as it should be to be machine washable. It’s still very comfy under foot with a soft texture. I did need to add a grippy rug pad underneath as we have hardwood floors and the rug likes to slide. If you’re considering a washable rug, take note of the washing machine chart on the product page<\/a> to be sure it will fit in your washer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We now have 4 rugs from Boutique Rugs<\/a> in our home and we love them all. They are excellent quality, handwoven rugs with beautiful designs at a very reasonable price. Our first 3 rugs we purchased ourselves but this last one was gifted. We now have their rugs in the dining room, living room<\/a>, master bedroom<\/a>, and entryway<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

I love that the design of this rug is somewhat vintage while staying fresh. It contributes to the aesthetic of the room without screaming “here I am!”<\/p>\n\n\n

You really can find just about anything you’re looking for – indoor, outdoor, traditional, farmhouse, boho, kids and more in a variety of materials – some of which are washable. They also have a large selection of other home decor like pillows, furniture, lighting, etc. Definitely go check them out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the sunniest our dining room has been in a long time – I know in photography you’re not supposed to have light streaks, but I couldn’t get enough of this sunshine filling our room!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So if you’re looking for an easy way to update your room or make your room feel complete, consider adding a rug! If your room feels too dark and small, a rug could help then too. I know it seems counterintuitive that adding more stuff to a room could make it feel bigger, but a rug can actually lighten the floor space, draw the eye across the room, and help to anchor furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks so much for reading! If you can’t tell I’m pretty excited about this addition! Drop any questions or comments below and I’ll talk to you soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
