I have been looking for a new rug for the office entrance which is the entrance everyone uses. We lost the previous one in the flood. It's a big room so I need a good sized one and I want one rated for outdoor and indoor so it can be hosed off. You know my colors are the krypton blue gray and the brown mega greige. This one is very colorful and I have a 15%off coupon.

What size rug should go under a round table?
Comments (12)First, something to think about: We are having a round table made and I initially wanted a smaller one with a leaf or two. My options were extremely limited (want a counter height for out room) and I thought I was going to order an Amish one when I found a local woodworker. He and his wife both said that if you want a pedastal, they would do everything they could to talk me out of extensions. They said they are great initially, but because of the weight and construcion of the table, they will always wind up having trouble. Now, he's building solid wood tables that should be around 100 years from now. If' you are buying something for the next 10 years, maybe you won't have any issues. Their advise was to go with the largest size round that fit the room and keep it stationary. That would allow you to have a rug that always fits too. No worries about storing leaves, changing finishes, etc. Are you going to have a buffet, server, china cabinet or other furniture in the room? The placement of other pieces could impact the size and shape of your rug. Search for photos of DRs with round tables. You basically have three choices -- no rug, fit the table with a round or square that is a minimum of 3-4 feet larger than the table (8-9 ft) or the rug essentially a room carpet. The size would then depend on whether you have other furniture in the room and how you want to define the space....See MoreWhat do you think about this CL rug?
Comments (11)I sent him an email and he emailed me back. I would need to take a good look at it. My parents are coming into town this week and they know about rugs. In fact they are going to visit some friends while here that used to be rug dealers so maybe they could look at and let me know if it is worth it. How would someone who is not familiar with fibers know wheather it is wool? He did not answer that part of my question so he probably does not know. His response to my email: It is wall to wall, used in upstairs family room, I don't know about the pets, the owners were gone when we bought the house. No defects of any kind, i would say it is about as perfect as a used rug could be or I wouldn't go to the bother of selling it. There are no odors, but Iwould think you would want to clean it after you installed it. After the cleaning I do not think you could tell it from new. It is just too nice to throw away. We didn't use it because the pattern did not suit us. That's about it, Bill -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My email to him asking questions: Hi, I have a few questions about the cheetah rug that you are selling on Craigslist. Is it and area rug or wall-to-wall? Do you know the manufacturer? Is it wool? What room was it used in? Did the home that it was in have kids or animals, esp. cats (does it have an unpleasant odor)? Are there any wear spot or snags? Do you have a close up picture of the pattern?...See MoreMore help needed with rug and occasional tables
Comments (8)Yeah, I wanted to get other rug (PB Nolan) but the seller never got back to me and I only had the rental truck yesterday. I could still order it new from PB. I did decide to get the extorp armchair in the dark beige color and now I'm not sure how it would look with the Nolan rug since it has a lot more beige going on in it I do like the rug you posted, do you think it would work with the blue? The plates I have hanging have that bright-ish, almost cobalt blue going on so I was hoping to work that in with various shades of blue....See MoreChandelier and area rug dilemma
Comments (4)If you cannot move your table over to center the light because of space constraints in your room, leave the chandelier up because the person tripping over your area rug will surely run into the light fixture. Sorry, the rug is a tripping hazard and does not look good at all! Chairs need to have at least the front legs on the rug when pulled out for seating. Preferrable, the back legs also....See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
7 years agoNo that is not my house that's from the website . My walls are a blue gray similar to the color in the rug and the tile is a mottled brownish color .
Wall color . I love color but that room has nothing in it to add color just our desks and a blue leather chair . This would add a lot of color .
