What are my options when designer bungles a room?

OP, I'm especially miffed about the small rug- how/why would you have signed off on this? This could not have been vague on all the designs/receipts.

Stop hiring a designer/do it yourself if your eye is so good that you can see this is a cluster.

Regarding the last point, I feel like I am good at seeing mistakes, but not a vision of what works.

I will never understand people like OP. Outsourcing tasks does not mean waiving all supervision.

I've met regularly with them. I looked at renderings, fabrics, etc. The scale and cohesion really works in all the other rooms save our DD's BR and the LR. The furniture in her room is too large, but I am trying to live with it. I'm willing to do so same with LR pieces, but the rug is embarrassingly small. Everything is crammed onto it with wide margins around the area.

It sounds like the rug is the problem, if you have wide margins and the furniture feels crammed. Can you either a) get a larger rug and spread the furniture out on it of b) instead of cramming the furniture entirely on the rug you have, push it back so only the front legs are on it?

They've done that with sectional and it still doesn't leave enough room for the swivels, which are on a round base (so half on/off doesn't really work - or didn't look good).

It's also tight getting around the coffee table. Two of its' legs are right at edge of rug while the other two are close to the sectional L.

Save the coffee table, the other pieces do not have legs.

TY for suggestions.
