Hi all! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. If you missed my casual Saturday Shopping post you can get caught up here. We are super proud of our son as he tested for his blue belt in TaeKwanDo this past Sunday. So proud of his dedication and determination. It’s been amazing to watch. We are headed into our last week of school before summer. Today, I am excited to get your opinion on our Just Four Things room! We are already rocking and rolling and jumping right in with the design.
Let me refresh your memory. Here is the bedroom we are working with. Light, bright and plenty of space.
Meredith and her husband want a soothing retreat but with personality and color infused. Prior to my showing up on the scene, they were in the throws of picking out paint color. Their front runner was Benjamin Moore Sylvan Mist and I agreed it was a great color choice. It will give the a beautiful backdrop and create a fresh feel.
My client, Meredith, and I, decided that we would focus on the following four things:
- Area rug
- New bedding
- Bedside tables/chests
- Drapes
Of course it will take more than these four things to completely finish off the space, but these will drastically change the room and give them the design push they needed to create a beautiful sanctuary. This week we are focusing on choosing a rug. We would love to get your input and see which one you would choose. Keep in mind we will be using color on the bed as well as on the window wall with new curtains. And because it’s easier to switch up throw pillows and accent pieces, Meredith would like to keep the rug bold but neutral. Great choice!
Sorry about the redundancy with the photos, but I wanted you to see the bed, wall color and rug combination each time. So if you have a thought on which one you would pick, feel free to tell us in the comment section.
Cast your vote!
Would you choose the Everleigh, Phoebe, Miles or Emperor?
All four rugs are from Lulu & Georgia. Their selection is immense and they have never let me down quality wise.
Reader Takeaway: A rug can be a big investment. If you are looking to purchase one, consider going neutral so you can switch out less expensive accessories as you feel like it.
Can’t wait to show you this space painted. The Sylvan Mist will be gorgeous in Meredith’s room. Stay tune for Just Four Things updates. If you missed anything in the latest series, get caught up below.

All great options but my vote goes to the Everleigh.
Shannon@Heart...Captured says
I love the emperor rug! I think it’s more elegant and peaceful and calming, as a bedroom should be! I love the feel of the other, more modern rugs as well – I just think the emperor rug fits in more with the “feel” most people desire in the bedroom. We’re in the process of designing our bedroom right now and I’m desperate to get a new rug because it really does make such a huge difference. Excited to see the changes in action!
Jill says
My vote is for everleigh!
The room is going to look fantastic!
Michele @ The Joyful Home says
I completely agree about picking a neutral rug. It just makes it so much easier to rearrange and redecorate, but still makes a big impact. I’d go with Miles–can’t go wrong with stripes.
You and Meredith are off to a great start. Looking forward to seeing the final space!
Meghan says
i like them all, but the everleigh is my favorite 🙂
Kerri says
Everleigh or Emperor would look great!
Jessica says
I like the emperor! How do you determine what size rug to purchase?
jenw says
Everleigh for sure. I like the graphic nature but it’s still softer than the other two graphic ones. The last one is too busy for me and I think would pull the room in direction opposite of the “clean fresh soothing” vibe you’re going for.
Katie says
I vote for the Emperor rug!
Sam says
I like the Miles rug!
Lori says
I think the Miles rug is bold but neutral and stripes never go out of style!
Barbara M says
I vote for the Everleigh. Beautiful.
Meredith says
I am loving hearing everyone’s opinions- keep them coming! Soo excited to get started!
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
I love the emperor! It’s classic!
Nicole H. says
emperor!!
Erin says
I love the Everleigh 🙂
Bev says
Emperor rug! Also where is the bed/headboard that you’re using for the moodboard from??
Karen Z says
First of all, I love the paint color. Also love all the rugs. I guess the Everleigh the best but if you go with that I would do a stripe curtain in the same neutral colors. Or vice versa, if you go with the striped rug, go with a design on curtain. Either way, I would add your pop of colors on bed with throw pillows. You can always change the pillows with the seasons.
Moira says
I prefer the emperor. It’s a classic tone one tone design.
Amy says
I tend to prefer a pattern on drapes…I feel like it is easier to make a statement on the wall than on the floor….I think a patterned rug and patterned drapes would be too busy. With that said, I would pick the striped rug. Soooo exciting!
nikki says
I vote Everleigh… or phoebe for the second choice. Love all of them!
Michaela says
Can’t go wrong with stripes, but still love me some floral pattern in the emperor rug!
Valerie says
Phoebe! Can’t wait to see the end result!
Amee says
I vote for Miles. Love the stripes!
Michelle says
I love the Everleigh rug!
Kianna says
They are all great, but I don’t know what look she is going for! Personally, I love patterns, and I love the Everleigh the most! I tend to have a pretty modern style though. The Emperor is not my style but very pretty for a more classic look. The striped Miles would be pretty for a more beachy style, which would work great with the color that was chosen! In my opinion, you can’t lose with any of those choices. 🙂
Mick says
I like the stripes. Miles
Cubby says
Add my vote for Everleigh! While I have the Phoebe (and LOVE), I think the Everleigh is perfect for this room.
So fun! Meredith is a lucky gal!
Susan says
I vote for the Everleigh. It is patterned, but soft, pretty, and timeless. Enjoy the process. I can’t wait to see the results.
ashley @ Fancy Ashley says
Obsessed with the Emperor rug!!! LOVE it for this space!
Kelly K. says
Emperor!
Lauren says
My vote is for the Miles rug. I love the clean lines of the stripes. Although the others really are lovely, too.
Mom says
I like the Everleigh and since I’m Meredith’s mother, I am sure my vote is very important!
Tamara says
Such a pretty color combo! I like the Emperor rug, it seems to be the one that competes the least and is the most soothing. : )
Michele says
Everleigh.
Mary says
I like the Miles. It’s classic and will not go out of style. I think the first two are trendy and the last one, phoebe, is a little old fashioned for these young people.
Kara says
The Everleigh or Emperor rugs are the two contenders for that beautiful space. Awesome choice of wall color, too!
Tiffany says
The first or the fourth. Can’t wait to see the results!
Natalie says
Emperor! It’s sophisticated, calming, and classic.
Lauren@SimplyLKJ says
At first glance I was going to say the Everleigh, but after looking through again, I am going to go with the Miles. Stripes are timeless/classic and will go with any number of patterns without looking too fussy. Love the paint color they chose.
