What rug would you pair with this chair?!
Comments (26)I don't think you necessarily have to go neutral, but I think keeping the rug to one dominant color (could be tone-on-tone, not suggesting a solid) or one color plus a neutral (blue and cream, magenta and gray). An overdyed oriental to match the blue or pink in the chair could work. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Cameron-Tweed-Magenta-Ash-Area-Rug-9-x-12/20741001/product.html?refccid=WC2DPIGUCFQKH6KD7OQDS4PID4&searchidx=69 https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Safavieh-Valencia-Traditional-Distressed-Silky-Polyester-Rug-8-x-10/13299669/product.html?refccid=4NOO663MC3GKUACMWT46ELJFQU&searchidx=409 https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-tufted-Tatum-Aqua-Wool-Rug-79-x-99/9590760/product.html?refccid=4NOO663MC3GKUACMWT46ELJFQU&searchidx=371 https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/M.A.Trading-Hand-Woven-Khema5-Multi-9x12-India/14033108/product.html?refccid=CMHPLRQ6MJJ22HCMRN2QDD4IDA&searchidx=46...See MoreWhat chairs would you pair with this table??
Comments (26)Kathi -- There are guidelines for table size related to room size, rug size, and number of guests. This is what I've learned from personal experience with banquet planning and dinners at home: Rug Size -- Allow a minimum of 24" from the edge of the table to the edge of the rug if you don't want guests moving chairs to damage the binding on your rug. Example: A table 4' x 8' should be anchored with a rug at least 8' x 12'. If you can manage a rug 30" out from your table edges, even better. Room Size -- Again, allowing space for guests to move chairs and leave the table is key. If guests need 24" minimum to exit, allow space for furniture you're placing around the walls near the table plus a minimum 12" walkway. If you prefer that guests not have to scrunch past others who are still seated, allow 24" for walking (width of a typical bathroom door). Number of Guests -- 20" x 12" of table space per guest works for family/friends dining. 30" x 14" of table space per guest is suitable for formal dining, assuming your dining chair dimensions aren't any wider. Consider how many chairs will fit between table legs as well. If your table has an overhang of 12" or more, table legs bumping knees shouldn't be an issue. Benches typically allow for more guest seating than chairs. A round table allows for extra elbow room between chairs because each guest has a pie-shaped area for dining vs. a rectangle.

Comments (6)Thank you! Nice idea! I like MCM style but was trying to have a farmhouse feel with cozy throws. I’d probably put in similar chairs to the one in the picture. My great room is similar in style with same flooring and fireplace except I have sliding doors directly across fireplace so behind the other sofa in your pic....See MoreWhat mini pendant would you pair
Comments (10)I think I might try to match metal without matching the style of glass, especially since that mirror already has a similar/competing pattern. Many options out there! Do you need ambient light, or just down-light? That will help narrow things. (Also, I'd at least consider reducing to two pendants, as this feels like it's in danger of being a very busy space. Can't tell the length of your island...) Here are some ideas to help you think. I skipped the lantern-style ones, because I don't think you need any more black lines, with chairs and chandelier and mirror and all the rest....See MoreCorinne Masterson
