Design Q&A - Thanksgiving Rush, Curse of the Medium Furniture Strikes Again, Bedding Battles, and Masculine Rugs

Nov 23, 2017 • 22 mins

Betsy Helmuth offers last-minute Thanksgiving tablescape ideas, shares Black Friday and Cyber Monday tips, and answers listener questions on lighting, storage solutions, bedding recommendations, and masculine rug options. Plus, she discusses the "curse of medium furniture" and provides big solutions.

Key Points

  • Maximize storage in large rooms by opting for substantial furniture pieces like entertainment centers or large storage cabinets instead of multiple medium-sized items.
  • Enhance lighting in spaces with limited overhead fixtures by using solutions like arcing floor lamps, multi-bulb floor lamps, or plug-in pendants to direct light where it's needed.
  • For a masculine and neutral rug, consider choosing a low-pile geometric design in shades of gray or taupe to achieve a modern and sophisticated look.
