I can't quite tell the pattern of your sofa, but it looks like you have almost a blank canvas. How long is your sofa? What is your price range?

A large oriental/persian rug. You can go with whatever colors you like since your room is a blank slate. Good luck!

Ideas for living room rug etc.

Nine months later I’m still looking, lol. Plumbing problems and family life got in the way of getting this done. I’ve found a couple of rugs that I like but I’m not sure if they ”go”. One is a Dash and Albert wool flat weave that is fairly thick and a natural color (I love sisal/seagrass but DH hates it). I’m afraid it might be too casual or modern for my furnishings. Opinions welcome. Another rug that I really like (green and gold are my favorites) would require reupholstering the furniture, but I’m tempted. I also like the rust color. Any help might stop me lying awake at night thinking about this. TIA

Struggling with living room rug and tables…

Hi folks, hope all is well as you prepare for the holidays. We are going to be home and are so grateful for that. Quick update, we added a new tv console and rug. I am searching for coffee table, end table, dining table and chairs. We like the Pottery barn Banks table, but not sure if it would work. We also prefer fabric dining chairs, saw some in a tweed brown color that we liked, figuring cream or beige chairs might be too formal looking. Still working on decor, like wall art, etc. As always, appreciate any ideas. Have a wonderful Christmas, Hannukah or any holiday time you enjoy and cherish. I love all of them! Won’t keep dining rug or darker console, that will move.

Looks like I've got two threads going here. Not sure how that happened. I'm very tired of the orange color in my house due to the logs ..so don't want orange rugs. I'd like to make the room lighter and maybe a light white/ grayish wall paint color and some white airy curtains and a lighter colored rug. I have lots of ppl in my house at times so I don't was pure white. I'm including a pic of a rug I like but I'm not sure if its good in this space. Maybe matching round rug and a rectangle rug would add interest. I'm not liking the shag rugs anymore. Too hard to clean

I agree with Beverly and would add avoid hanging any chandelier too high. It’s a common mistake. Bottom of chandelier should be around 30-33” above your table. It’s a pretty space but has some challenges due to walkways and openings. If you keep that plant in the dining room get an elevated pot for it. Needs to be much higher. A taller plant would be the ticket. Wait til you get window treatments done because you might not have enough room for anything in that corner. But, a large plant on end of sofa between living and dining room could benefit both rooms.

Do you like geometric shapes or more traditional? Any colors you would like to see in the rug? I would bring out some warm colors in the rug.

You have a lovely room!

The couch is a tweed salt and pepper pattern.

https://www.westelm.com/products/hamilton-upholstered-sofa-h1469/?pkey=chamilton-living-room-collection&group=1&sku=7754653

Couch is 81 inches long (just under 7ft)

price range, hoping to stay under $400

Still trying to discover my style, but I'm leaning towards modern contemporary and Scandinavian design. I want the room to be light, bright, and neutral but I'm ok with a pop of color (I just don't like yellow or orange). I don't really like super shaggy rugs or rugs made out of the natural fibers (jute fiber feels like straw), we had one and it fell apart and made a big mess.

This room is screaming for color. Since you have a neutral color sofa along with the walls, you can go in any direction. Let's start by replacing your sofa pillows, a color theme with either a cerulean blue, or yellow. Either way, you might ought to choose your area rug first. Go online to Overstock.com , great choices. Nothing to busy, but fun and soothing. Pull the strongest color outta the carpet to choose your pillows. I'd place a palm or banana plant in one of the corners. Just those 3 items l suggested will make big difference. Make sure choices are something you can live with for the next 2-3yrs.

Just my 2cents

I like FinnStyle site for Scandinavian Modern. I also like Ferm Living. (they have their products on All Modern, and yliving too, I'm just not sure of the assortment..can be googled of course)

Let me give you some links..maybe you'll find something that speaks to you

I think if you keep to your vision of modern it still will be a very interesting room..more layered and interesting, yet still light and streamlined and non-fussy

and if you feel later like introducing other elements you can always do it too. knowing that your main direction is modern, yo can always decide to throw a bit of traditional(whatever it is..bohemian is usually traditional for example) in the mix. Art for example or a rug, yes.

And of course plants.

I think you have a great canvas so to say, to which you can add until you feel you are where you want to be, at the moment.
