What size rug? Odd shaped space
I have a very small tv/family room in an open concept layout. From the foyer there is a hall (more of a wide space) with a dining room on the right side and ending with the family room/kitchen. The kitchen is separated by an island. I would like to put an area rug in the seating area but it is an awkward shape. The wall where the sofa is is much longer than the wall where the TV is. There is also a corner fireplace to deal with. So, if the rug is to fit under the sofa it will stick out into the hall area but it would look ridiculous to have a rug that only goes along half the sofa. Is it OK to have one loose corner of the rug floating out into the middle of the house? Not sure how to explain what I mean ha ha. Hopefully pics will help. Thank you for any advice!

odd sized and shaped kitchen (almost finalized)
Comments (4)Well, I saw the cooktop and the ovens! There have been a few threads here about cooktops around seating areas - safety concerns, etc. Since the search feature is probably not working, perhaps you'd like to put up a new post with just that discussion in the title. The question I have is what do you hope to do on that island? It just seems out of place in the middle of the floorplan. Have you thought about what activies are taking place in each area? Your fridge has no landing area. When you come into the house with groceries, are you putting them on the island to then unload into the fridge and pantry? Where is the pantry? Your ovens have no landing area. When you pull out that hot and delicious casserole, are you moving quickly over to the peninsula to drop it in front of your party guests? Is something hot on the stove at the same time? Is this new construction or are you remodeling an existing space? What are the limitations on wall placements, windows, etc?...See MoreWhich shape and size rug for this space?
Comments (5)a long runner sized to fit the space lengthwise might look ok in that spot-- you would have to pull out the chair some to have it under the chair... I don't think I would get a small area rug for just the chair to sit on unless it was something very small like the round one that Beverly shows... the rubber grips are a good idea- swivel bases are sturdy-- I don't think you have to worry about your floor getting damaged if you put the pads evenly spaced around the entire base......See MoreOdd size living room--what size rug?
Comments (11)Thank you all for the advice--and encouragement. Groveraxel and Beverly--I really appreciate the mockups! Decoenthusiast: your information on sizing is especially helpful--just what I was looking for. I'm definitely going to get out my blue painters tape, that will help me visualize what size might look best. For now, I'm going to keep looking for the "perfect" rug. I'm in no hurry to replace the current rug, as I really like it for summer. Hard to see in the photos, but it has narrow silver ribbons running thru the warp--I like the little bit of sparkle. Thanks again--I'll be back for more advice, I'm sure!...See MoreNeed help with rug choice for very odd-shaped long entry hall
Comments (0)I'll be decorating a newly built craftsman-style home with an odd-shaped entry hall due to the room configuration on the left side. The floors will be a medium shade of hardwood. The hall is 8 feet wide at the entry door, widens to 12 feet wide where the guest bathroom, den, and guest bedroom create a half-octagon on the left side of the hall due to an indentation, and then narrows again to 8 feet after the guest bedroom. I will put a table on the right entry hall wall but the hall still seems too wide for standard runners. What width rug or rugs to use? Do I ignore the half-hexagon shape? How many rugs for such a long hallway? I would appreciate any help offered because I'm really confused. Thanks in advance!...See MoreWonder Wiper

I will post another pick to maybe show better what I mean!
This is the view looking into the family foom. Kitchen is on the left and dining is on right, marked by two of those pillars.
So a rug tucked under the sofa would just sort of start abruptly when viewed from this angle. Maybe I'm imagining that this will look odd ha ha!
