I think the carp one could work if the lighter white is not too white or ivory. If it is more of a tan then you could probably do it. Other than that, I like the second one you posted as it would really go well (the best imo) with the other two.

I just threw a few together. Maybe the carp rug would look best? If not, then I thing the last rug you posted. The second seems to have not so coordinating colors as I thought upon first glance.

Thanks akt, that's so helpful!

I also found they have the carp in beige. But I have so much beige already :/

If I had to choose I would def pick the blue carp! It is such a fun rug!!

I really like the blue carp rug, agree that it's fun and unique. But I love all the rugs here, so pretty!

Agreed. Love the blue carp rug.

Aw, now you guys are just telling me what I want to hear ;-)

And I want to make it clear that I won't be offended if you tell me that the carp rug is carp...

OK, I'll tell you I don't like the carp rug. I think a third color needs to be pulled in because the room closest to it (the FR?) has just 2 colors in its rug. I would choose a rug that has blue in it but as a secondary color. It should coordinate with the piano room rug but this matters less because it seems the 2 rooms (eating area and piano room) are separated enough. I think mock ups of rugs are often deceiving because they don't consider what visually separates them.

The eating area sort of connects the piano room to the family room at right angles. If anything, the family room is more separate (there is a diff color hardwood and a step down).

Eating area w piano room in background (table/chairs not staying), family room is through dark opening to the right.

But yes, that's what I'm afraid of, that the carp doesn't match the piano room rug and they will be in fairly close proximity.

While I like the blue carp rug, I dont think I would like it in your space, it is too bright on my screen anway. I like the second round rug you posted, the colors are more muted like the rug you already have.

Thanks, I think after thinking about it more, that the carp rug would go nicely with the plan I have for the family room, which also has some light asian elements (toile pillows and cushions, pagoda light, bamboo fireplace screen). But not sure it goes with the piano room rug. Maybe I shouldn't have been so hasty in buying that one. Oh well.

I love the carp rug (it would work at my lake house. where did you find it?), but don't think it relates to any of your other elements.

But you have a white table under which the rug would go; white columns, built-in, and steps/banister. I think it would work.

Still no? ;-)

dee - it's from overstock. there's a few rectangular sizes hanging around on there too.

Butternut, with your mock up I love it and think it goes very nicely!!!!

Thanks, Butternut. I do like it better in your mockup.

I am going to order the small size for in front of the door. If you want to wait until I get it, I can give you a full-on critique of color, fiber, and quality.

Dee - that would be awesome! Do let me know! Thanks so much!
