Help picking out furniture and carpet for my living room
Comments (7)No, I don't think it would be a sea of beige at all. You really don't want every single thing to pop out with color. I can see that in your choices so far! I think it's a great idea to make a neutral background, and have your large, expensive items be neutral in general, and make the less expensive, more easily changeable items have the color you like. The beige doesn't jump out when you look at the photos. What jumps out is huge brown items. So, think about getting a lighter neutral (not quite so matchy matchy) chair. Maybe a tan color, or an upholstered fabric piece. Because I have kids, I always pick out a very sturdy, very cleanable material like a high-quality chenille, that has 2 colors in it (if you look closely). Or a subtle pattern--which would make any spills easier to clean. For color, you can add a cozy and attractive throw. Pick out a rug! You can check out esalerugs. Or rugsusa, or one of my favorites, overstock, because you can read reviews to see if the photos represent the actual rug, and the shipping is free. Or go visit World Market or Pier 1 online. Returns can be easily brought back to the store. Or Pottery Barn, with a coupon or on sale; you can sometimes get a bargain. I found these 2 on overstock. These are 9 X 12. I think the first one was $300+ and the second one was $600+. Be sure to buy a big enough rug. You want the front feet of the furniture (at least) on the rug, and the rug pretty much centered in that room....See MoreNeed help picking out a rug for dining room.
Comments (3)The other colors in the house are neutrals, beige, light gray and cream. Open concept area. The kitchen has cream colored cabinets with a brown and off white counter top. I need some color and don't know if I should go with a round rug or 8x10 . The light definitely must go, contractor special. I usually choose neutral colors and add accessories with color because I can change them with the seasons or if I get bored. My style is eclectic, pottery barn, traditional, country cottage.

Comments (14)That's where I'm struggling, it's hard for us to do everything at once so we will probably have to replace one thing at a time...As much as I would love to do it all now lol. It is a work in progress but we are trying to at least have a plan so we know what we will get when we can get it. I'm not not good at this. The coffee table looks a little worse in person because it is really old and it doesn't while up well. My daughter does have a habit of doing art, eating snacks and spilling apple juice and you can tell and it's pretty noticeable as much as we try to scrub it lol...See MoreNeed help picking out a rug
Comments (2)Hi, Benjamin ... I‘m not sure exactly what style you’d like, so I did this one as an example of how you can try different looks in your room. I used RugsUSA — https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-medallion/Silver/200KHMC04G-9012.html Or, a solid (thick, shaggy pile) .... https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-shaggy/Silver/200OZSG02O-92012.html You just upload your picture and can instantly see how it looks. It’s fun trying different ones! Here are a few other sites with this feature: https://esalerugs.com/ https://www.crateandbarrel.com/rugs/all-rugs/1 https://www.rugsdoneright.com/ https://incrediblerugsanddecor.com/collections/rugs...See MoreUser
