Picture of Plan the Design
Here’s the thing—I didn’t just wing it. I sketched out my design on paper first. Trust me, you don’t want to eyeball this part unless you’re aiming for abstract chaos. I went for clean, geometric lines that would give my rug a modern vibe. Once I had the plan, I used painter’s tape to outline the pattern on the rug. (Small tip: If you’re doing intersecting lines like I did, work in layers—tape and paint one direction first, let it dry, then do the other.)
