Our Rugs In The Wild: Come See How The Rugs USA Giveaway Winners Styled Their New Rugs!

You might remember that back in September, we did a Rugs USA giveaway in celebration of our new collection. Five lucky winners got to choose from either of our two collections to help cozy up or refresh their homes. To be helpful, and show people the possibilities, I suggested two rugs per winner but they were in no way required to go with either:) Well, today we are revealing their picks in their real spaces! This is also a pretty great week to talk about our rugs because Rugs USA is giving our readers 45% OFF the entire site with code EMILY45. We kinda can’t believe this this deal so if there was ever a time you might want to buy either one of our rugs or any other on their site, now would be a great time. Ok, onto the winners!

The “In Need Of Earthy Modern Dining Room Rug STAT”

This reader was desperately looking for a dining room rug that went with her “Earthy Modern” aesthetic. And since she also had a midcentury modern vibe to her home I suggested these two rugs:

The Annie | The Corbett

They are definitely earthy in tone, feel busy enough to not worry too much about crumbs or small messes, and are on the thinner side so are better for dining chairs.

And TA-DA! They went with The Corbett in 9×12. We love the texture it adds! She loves it and we love seeing it in this room:) Onto the next success story:)

The “In Need Of Earthy Modern Dining Room Rug STAT”

When this reader emailed in they were just really wanting an update and knew that their current rug was simply too small. I felt that choosing a rug that was a liiiiittle lighter in color was the move. But I also very much understand that light-colored rugs are not for everyone so I went with these two:

The Starke | The Southwest

Green is always a great choice when you want a color that still looks and feels neutural (well, depending on the tone of course:)) Both of these darker green rugs have a gray undertone which gives it that “neutral” vibe. These both felt happier and spoke to the little bit of green in their art.

Here’s a shot of the Starke in Hunter Green from our big shoot so that you can really texture up close. Can you guess which one they chose??

Doesn’t it look great?! The size is way better and the whole space looks so much brighter and the addition of the subtle pattern is really fun. But of course, all that matters is that they love it which they do:)

The “A No Longer Neglected Indoor Porch”

This little cute indoor porch was also in need of a rug refresh. The reader said that she never felt that this rug was right and we were more than happy to help find the perfect one!

The Robyn | The Merrick

I knew that suggesting a light rug was a slight risk because as I mentioned above, light rugs can make people nervous because of the visible mess potential. However, I knew a light rug would really brighten up the room.

And I think I was right! While I wish the photo quality was a bit better, you can see how fun the rust Merrick looks. They still get a little warmth with the rust threading but also a pattern that feels more cohesive with the room. The reader said that they are transitioning into empty nesters and making these small updates have been really fun which couldn’t make us happier:)

The “Time For The Grown-Up Rug”

For this reader, they lived with their current rug for eight years and were READY for an upgrade, especially now that their kids are a little older. I had two ideas for them. One that would probably be a risk and one that was still fun but was more in line with their current color palette.

The Elliot | The Marlowe

Can you guess which one was a “risk”? Ha. This neutral mauve could have been a punch a color to warm up the space’s color palette. They would have probably need to throw in a new blanket and some decor to bring in more warm tones for balance. I get that’s not everyone’s preference. So I also liked the idea of bring in a bold and slightly warm pattern with The Marlowe.

This reader however had her heart set on a classic Merrick which I totally understood and will also look awesome. The only problem is that it was very backordered in the size she needed (and if that happened to you too they are coming back into stock so soon!). To hold them over Rugs USA generously offered to send her another rug for the inconvience…

She chose the Southest in charcoal for her bedroom and it’s so good! It’s actually one of Em and Gretchen’s favorites because it’s so versatile and looks great with so many rooms. They just keep wanting to use it. Wanna see it in our winners home?

A beaut! It’s truly such a beautiful rug and here’s what they said about it: “Just wanted to send a note to say THANK YOU to you guys and Rugs USA, my bedroom rug arrived and it’s amazing. I love the colour so much and the quality is incredible. Pic attached – now I want to paint all the walls moody!”

We LOVE the idea of going moody with all the walls! And can’t wait to see the Merrick when it arrives:)

There was one more winner who loved their rug but due to a family emergency couldn’t get photos to us in time which we more than understood. Wishing them all the best. We want to thank everyone who entered the giveaway, anyone who has bought a rug, and to all of you in general. Getting into the product side of things has been a total dream and it’s all because of your support.

And again, if you’ve been thinking about buying a rug it’s never been a more affordable time than now. Get that 45% off sitewide with code EMILY45.

Love you and really really mean it<3
