Large affordable DR rug: connect 3 5x8 or paint a 15x8 plain one?

8 years ago

Hola,

I would love some feedback on my new idea.

Any one have great luck in connecting/tying 2-3 rugs together, where the meeting sides look good/lay flat?

Or paint a nice thick rug (not the thin/low nap rugs)?

I need a large rug for my 23'x12' dining room but w/in a ~$800 budget.

So I have 2 ideas:

1. Buy 3 nice 5'x8' rugs with patterns that can flow into each other, like this example, but see how the edge is too define?

2. Buy a large ~9'x14' bounded plain carpet, and paint it?

---

Anyone who has gone down either route: please share your feedback.

These gorgeous rugs from Restoration Hardware = $9K for 10'x14' = way out of my budget!!! I have 2 kids and dog. I will get one AFTER they've gone to college and doggie-heaven.
