One of the stores we visited had, uh, this statue in the entrance (open for a surprise).
Follow up question: Why is it so hard to decide what rug size to buy?
Excuse me while I try to visualize how to get the most of my office space.
We managed to find a standard size that works with the room and our couch!
@anna because they tie the room together, man
@coffeverton But they’re tearing my wallet apart!
@anna i was indeed surprised!!
@anna Welp, no surprise for Mastodon users... :(
@anna silver anteaters are pricey i hear?
@anna It's absolutely WILD how expensive certain home items are. I have a new understanding of grumpy adults that don't want kids to stand on anything 😆
Me, as a kid: "Why does it matter if I climb on it? It's just a coffee table."
Me, as an adult: "A coffee table is how much????"
@person72443 Oh my god, YES! A thousand times yes!
@anna unsolicited advice: conventional wisdom is along the lines of this chart: https://designingidea.com/how-to-pick-rug-sizes/#Rug_Sizes_Chart
@anna but obviously, life is full of social constructs, so do whatever you want lol
@person72443 Hah, that’s true! The room I’m trying to decorate is already a bit unconventional.
@anna can't wait to see the final look, then! I think the goal with rug size is to be big enough that you have rug underfoot where you want it and it creates a nice grounding for a given "section" of the room.
@anna It's that kind of intense frustration that led to the war on rugs.
@porsupah And allergies. Oh, the allergies.
We ordered our couch! 🛋️✨ It’s blue, retractable, and custom-made for my office. But figuring out what rug to buy has been such a hassle. Some of the options we’ve seen are more expensive than the couch itself!
