Trying to find a rug for your home, but aren’t sure what’s worth investing in?
I’ve been there with rugs may times before. It can be really hard to purchase such a large piece online (sight unseen) and just hope it comes with the same look. A fellow home design blogger, Chris Loves Julia, has collaborated with Loloi to create a timeless rug collection that takes all the stress off ordering a quality rug online.
Today on the blog, I’m chatting all about Chris Loves Julia rugs and how beautifully they finish off any space. You can see all the care that is put into each of their collections and our rug from the original collection has been a staple in our living room for years.
Chris Loves Julia Rug Guide: What Sets Them Apart
A Modern Touch With Grandmillenial Style
The main reason I (and so many others) are fans of Chris Loves Julia’s style is due to their balance of classic and contemporary. As you all know, the grandmillenial style has taken to our home, but I really try to modernize this more vintage look with grounding elements. I tend to lean on their style when a space just calls for something timeless.
Although I wouldn’t necessarily call all of their rugs modern, they blend neutrals and prints in a really intentional way. I promise there’s a design that fits with everyone’s interior style, whether it be eclectic, modern, classic, or anything in between.
Designer-Approved Rugs
It feels really authentic to see Chris Loves Julia collaborate with Loloi to create pieces that you can trust to bring into your home. As a fellow original home blogger, it’s been such a pleasure to mutually keep up with each other’s projects over the years and watch our styles evolve. From their first post in 2009, to now being able to shop many collections, it’s really inspiring to see someone’s style come to life.
From a quality standpoint, each rug is made to be used and well-loved. I cannot stand when items are meant to be looked at and not touched. These rugs are made to be stepped on without immediately falling apart from the foot traffic.
Price Point
For the quality and design you get, their rugs come in at a really solid price point. Depending on the size you choose, of course larger rugs are going to be more expensive. That being said, this is an investment for your home and it’s made to last.

How To Style Chris Loves Julia Rugs In Your Home
Rugs are the perfect way to ground any space, but there are a few guidelines to follow to make it feel like an intentional choice. To read exactly how to style a rug in your home, read my Ultimate Rug Guide here.
No matter what rug you choose, I will say Loloi rugs tend to stray on the thinner side. This makes it much easier to walk on it daily, but I’ve noticed sometimes rug corners are needed to keep it from curling up. They’re a really great and inexpensive solutions for both hardwood and carpet.
Living Room / Grand Spaces
For larger spaces, such as living rooms and grand areas, I personally choose neutral colors and classic prints. This will help emphasize the space in the room, but not distract from it. In our sitting room, we have one of the original Chris Loves Julia rugs. It’s held up beautifully after years of foot traffic. I love the classic black-and-white colors, but the funky line pattern.
Bedrooms
Bedrooms are one of the best places to utilize rugs because of how soft they make a space feel. For tile and wood flooring, this is a great option, but rugs also work great over carpet. To see exactly how to style rugs over carpeting, read my guide here.
Dining Areas
I know it sounds weird to put a rug underneath a place you eat at, but it really helps elevate any dining area. Chris Loves Julia rugs are made with really quality materials that are not only durable, but stain resistant. For this space exclusively, I recommend looking into jute or 100% cotton rugs for their ease to clean.
