Chair and rug suggestions please

16 years ago

I'd love some suggestions for a chair and rug to add to our living room. The first picture shows the empty corner (now filled with a table and some plants!) and the second shows the opposite corner with a sample of the furniture in the room. We also have a couch on the other side of the fireplace that is in the same fabric as the loveseat.

Thanks for your suggestions!

A leather armchair! I am only saying that b/c I want one so badly for my LR, but can't afford it yet. But, what do you think? I am not great about choosing rugs, but I know most of these folks are, so I'll let them chime in!
BTW, where did you get that vase on your wall???? It's great!

sir38 - if you like the rug, you can type in rug name as search term in Google, and a number of vendors will come up. If ordering rugs online, definitely get a sample if you can, or order the smallest size first; so in the event that you don’t like the rug and/or you feel it doesn’t work in your space, you don’t have to send back a huge rug.

Dining room rug suggestions where chairs can still slide

turn the chair upside down. Dig off the plastic slide WITH A FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER. Replace with stick on felt circle pads, readily available at Bed Bath Beyond, your local hardware store, or Amazon. No scratches.............NONE. PRESTO AND DONE. NO CHAIR WILL "SLIDE" ON ANY RUG. Any rug, will be a decorative grounding accent. People routinely "manage" to get in an out of chairs on a rug. It's two different issues, really. If you WANT a rug? Don't replace the plastic sliders on the chair legs.

Have you gone into any area furniture stores? I think this might be a case of it being a good idea to see and sit on them in person. I have ordered dining chairs online (Overstock) and got lucky with liking them, but they don’t get used regularly. Your lovely decor is quite neutral overall, so tons of possibilities. I just hesitate suggesting any online, as I don’t know if they’d be comfortable enough.

The vase is from Pier One -- glad you like it. I was considering leather also but what color?
I guess you can tell I just moved the upholstered chair out of that corner...the marks are still there! A project for another day.

Any others care to share their opinion please?

I cannot see the pic of the other side of the room. From what I see it is very lovely!

aktillery--maybe I should add more pictures? The space I'm trying to fill is the first where the table and plants are now.
Thanks for your compliment :)

I can see both pics just fine. Agree that leather could do it for you. Since you have a solid sofa/loveseat and patterned chair I don't think I'd add another upholstered piece.

Is there green in the patterned piece?
