Rug size for style vs functionality

4 years ago

So I am having an issue between design and functionality. In our living room we used to have a 8x10 rug which we loved. However when our dogs played their nails, no matter how short, were scraping up our hardwood. We decided to change to a bigger rug to cover and protect more floor space. However with the 12x15 rug that we purchased I feel like the room just doesn’t look right now. I am not sure if we should have stayed with a smaller area rug and added runners around. If anyone has any advice or can think of a different way to lay out the furniture it would be appreciated.
