Listener Q&A:

“Throw pillows - should I have them or not? They are ALWAYS on the floor.” - Elissa

Our answer in a nutshell - try fewer, but larger pillows. Make putting the pillows back part of the clean up routine.

Laura from Instagram - “Should I use a circle rug in my kid’s room?”

Our answer in a nutshell - Probably not unless the room is very small and the rug is large so furniture can fit on it. See examples below how often circle rugs are silly looking an dhow much better rectangular rugs look!
