You know, you maybe want to have a clear walkway in between one space or another, one room or another.

But generally speaking, you want to have at least the two legs of a couch, the two legs of any chairs.

Or if you can fit everything, like if you can fit an entire living room set on a rug, that's a good idea.

Yeah, it's definitely a higher ticket item when it comes to redecorating.

So I did a little bit of sourcing online for you.

Rugs USA and Ikea seem to be a couple of the top spots people turn to for low cost, brand new quality rugs.

Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp, also not bad ideas for secondhand options.

Okay, so floating means you don't put your furniture, say a couch, right up against the wall.

You just leave some space behind it.

And what that does is create the illusion of additional depth.

And it can actually make a room seem bigger.

Another version of that is you can also float your furniture into the middle of a big open room or big long room.

And you can use it to zone the space into different sections.

So, for example, you can turn that couch sideways and define a space too.

Like this is the living room and this is the dining room or whatever.

You anchor it.

That was Alexandra's idea.

If the floating feels weird, maybe you put a little console there.

Maybe it's your desk, right?

You anchor it.
