Learn more about all the rugs we have incorporated into our house and why we chose each pattern, style, and pile height to suit our pet-friendly home’s needs.
Our house is almost 2700 square feet of LVP. No tile, no carpet, just LVP. And while it’s such a great material to keep clean as a parent of a teenager and four pets, it’s not the most cozy thing to have under your feet. Let’s face it, LVP is pretty uncomfortable. In order to add warmth (and decrease echoing) we have large rugs in every single room. Here’s a full roundup of the Burris Family Rugs and how they look in each room.

Living Room
Our living room is very neutral- just creamy whites, beiges, browns, and blacks. I had a neutral rug in here when we first moved in, and it made the room feel pretty flat. So I swapped it for this terra cotta and navy based rug and it instantly gave the room a new feeling. It’s still neutral and calming, but now it feels like there’s some life and pattern.

Dining Room
The dining space is on the other side of the floating fireplace and slivers of the room can be seen from our living area. I wanted the rug to differentiate itself from the living room but still be cohesive. This rust and ivory rug pulls in the dark terra cotta color from the living room, but is surrounded by ivory and black hues instead. By repeating the rust color in both rooms, they seem like little rug siblings with very different personalities.

Primary Bedroom
We have changed the rug in our primary suite three times in the last two years. We had an aging senior cat who was experiencing medical decline, and she chose the rug under our bed as her safe place when she was feeling sick. The first two rugs were damaged beyond repair, but we just kept spot cleaning until she passed away. Recently we got this clay and brown rug with a very low pile. It’s the perfect neutral, and paired with a thick cushy rug pad, it’s super soft on our feet.

Kitchen
I am obsessed with this dark green and black traditional runner in our kitchen. It looked beautiful online, but a thousand times better in person. Since our kitchen is a galley style layout, this nine foot runner is perfect for the space. Our cats love to slide underneath to bump up little sections like tunnels for hiding and tackling each other. So it’s part comfort and part playground.

Noah’s Room
My son’s bedroom is a mix of modern and rustic styles with a lot of varying textures. A patterned rug was too busy in here, and a solid rug was underwhelming. After a lot of trial and error, we found this black modern minimalist rug and it was just what the room needed. It has some distressing features, so in some places it looks more gray and other spots are dark black. Great for a hip to the times teen room.

Studio
The studio rocks the rug that was in our living room before we got the terra cotta. Our basement always seems to get the hand-me-downs of all our replaced furniture, so the rugs end up here, too. I love this ivory and black medallion rug for this space because it brings some calmness to my craft room chaos.

The Rest Of The House
Past the notable rooms above, the other spaces in our home rock some really great floor coverings, too. Some rooms haven’t been remodeled yet, and others are just extra small spaces. Here’s the rest of the rugs around the house and their sources, too.
