Shawn Johnson East’s 'Cozy' Home Features Joanna Gaines’ Rug That's Up to 53% Off

Ready to start adding some (dare we say it) fall style to your home? Take a cue from Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East. The gold medalist and Wayfair Brand Ambassador recently upgraded her home for a “fresh start” by adding new furniture and decor to her space. Johnson East filled her rooms with a variety of textures, soft neutrals, and more, and she shared some of her favorite picks—including an on-sale rug from Wayfair’s Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines x Loloi collection to create a “cozy, quiet space.”

To turn a previous formal dining room into a comfortable hangout area, Johnson East grabbed the Millie Area Rug in Charcoal/Dove, and right now, it’s up to 53 percent off in 14 sizes and shapes, including runner, square, round, and rectangular. The ornate rug is inspired by designs found in traditional Turkish Oushack rugs and features muted colors that can easily go with your existing aesthetic starting at $38.

It’s power loomed for durability, even in high-traffic areas like the entryway, dining room, and hallway, and it has a purposeful faded spaced-dyed coloring that gives it a vintage, one-of-a-kind look that can change with your lighting. Johnson placed the rug in a custom-created cozy living space filled with comfy couches, throw pillows, and chairs where she plans to regularly hang out.

Shoppers are just as in “love” with the rug as Johnson East is, like one person who raved about the “gorgeous” earth tones. They liked the flecks of color, including navy, that stand out from the beige and gray, and said that it’s “perfect for [their] dining room.” A second reviewer agreed that it’s “super soft and great quality,” noting that the “colors are beautiful” and that as an added benefit, “it’ll hide dirt well.” While the rug has a low pile, which makes it easier to keep clean and vacuum, customers suggest adding a pad underneath for additional cushioning and to prevent it from sliding around. 

Along with the Millie Area Rug, Shawn Johnson East shared so many additional home decor and furniture pieces at Wayfair that gave her the refresh she was looking for. Below, you can shop more of her exact picks, including an upholstered ottoman, an end table, pasta bowls, and throw pillows.
