What do you think about this combination of rugs?

They won’t be in one room, but in 3 rooms that are fairly open to each other.
The first one is for the dining room. We already have the rug.
The second is part of a rug that’s going in a sitting room. We already have this one, too. (And the pup.)
In the middle of those two rooms, and visible from both, is the living room. The last 3 rugs are the type of rug I’m considering (none of the rugs pictured happens to be the right size, so none of them specifically is a contender, but I like the gabbed style).
The rusty-red in the first two rugs is more similar than the photos might show.
Sorry I don’t have better photos.
Dining room:
Sitting room:
Possibilities for living room?
Thoughts on this sort of combo? The furniture in all rooms is all solid upholstery, so not much other pattern in these rooms.

What do you think of this clematis combination
Comments (18)If you look at both pictures again you will note that it isn't so much that the colors are so garish in the first-the combinations of the intensity is wrong. In the first it is the light pink (Nelly Moser?) that throws the whole combination off. When using intense colors, everything has to be intense. The idea works well in the second picture because they used similar intensity of color, not just the colors they used. I always found Clematis to be quite fussy about PH of the soil, more so then any other plants. They also like their roots cool so planting something at the base of them or covering with a rock or pot worked well for me in my (then) hot, humid summers....See MoreI'm thinking about this piece.

Comments (10)I personally think the pattern is too busy with the bedding. Since you have some red accents, why not pull that into the rug. I briefly looked at your link - but didn't have time to search through the reds. Your woodwork and floors are really nice and I think the right red would really warm up the space....See MoreWhat do you think of these color combinations?
Comments (6)I LIKE your selections! They are beautiful together - especially the blue/gray color chips with the granite. Please share details of the granite and the color chips. Also, is that lagos blue engineered stone on top of the white dove sample or is that a paint sample for brown perimeter cabinets?...See MoreSueb20
