Desperately Need Rug Advice for Living Room
Comments (21)Your room is coming along nicely. I do think you need some color and pattern for movement and interest. One thing you can do, if a large wool is too expensive is to layer it on top of a Seagrass rug. I did this in my living room and love the options it gives me to change out rugs while leaving the Seagrass rug as a backdrop. Like this, You can angle a smaller rug, too. I love this rug from esalerugs...See MoreDo you really need an area rug in the living room?
Comments (2)Perfect timing. I’m wondering the same with our floors.Rug or no? Could you take a photo of your room and the areas of concern? How often do you use the room? I am not be a typical buyer but when we were potential buyers and I saw area rugs I wondered about the condition of the floor beneath it. A lovely floor is a selling point, in my opinion. We just removed our dated area rug and have a lovely and unblemished wood floor which spans the length and width of the room. . Is yours stained wood? Ours has a poly coating and - based on the rest of the floor - doesn’t pick up or show scratches from shoes,etc. We have allergies to consider while I assume you’re considering what will appeal most to buyers.

Comments (11)OK. I have attached a pic of my living room. I have also attached a few pics of some rugs that have peaked my interest (the yellow flowers being my favorite). The only items in the room that will remain the same are the couch and loveseat. I'd like to keep my curtains if possible, but I'm not opposed to switching them out. Other than those 2 things, everything else in the room will be updated. Thanks for any input you can give!!...See MoreAC LB
