Shawn Johnson East’s 'Charming' Home Showcases Joanna Gaines’ Rug, Now Up to 53% Off

Looking to add a touch of autumn to your home? Get inspired by Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East! The gold medalist and Wayfair Brand Ambassador recently refreshed her space for a ‘new beginning,’ bringing in updated furniture and decor. Johnson East styled her rooms with a mix of textures, soft tones, and more, featuring some of her top finds—like a discounted rug from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines x Loloi collection from Wayfair, which she used to create a cozy, tranquil space.

To transform a former formal dining area into a laid-back lounge, Johnson East chose the Millie Area Rug in Charcoal/Dove. Currently, it’s available for up to 53% off in 14 different sizes and shapes, including runner, square, round, and rectangular. The elegant rug draws inspiration from traditional Turkish Oushack designs and boasts soft, muted hues that seamlessly blend with any decor, starting at just $38.

This rug is power loomed for lasting strength, even in high-traffic spaces like the entryway, dining area, and hallways. Its uniquely faded, space-dyed coloring provides a vintage look that can shift with changing light. Johnson East placed it in her custom-designed cozy living area, complete with plush sofas, throw pillows, and chairs, creating the perfect spot for relaxation.

Shoppers are just as enamored with the rug as Johnson East. One reviewer called it “gorgeous,” praising the earthy tones and subtle pops of navy that contrast with the beige and gray. They noted it was “ideal for [their] dining room.” Another customer agreed, describing it as “incredibly soft and excellent quality,” also highlighting the “beautiful colors” and added benefit of its ability to “conceal dirt.” Though the rug has a low pile, making it easy to clean and vacuum, some customers recommend using a rug pad underneath for extra cushioning and to prevent slipping.

In addition to the Millie Area Rug, Shawn Johnson East shared several other home decor and furniture items from Wayfair that helped bring the fresh look she was after. Below, you can shop her exact selections, including an upholstered ottoman, an end table, pasta bowls, and throw pillows.
