View from entry/foyer

I was thinking if I got a larger round rug it wouldnt have to go under couch. If I get a 8*10 or 9*12 it may look weird going long way under couch and piano.....

Might be silly but I have to ask. Since this room is right off the foyer can you relocate the toys? Add a couple of chairs, the larger rug, a tall plant or two, and some side tables? You can include a large basket for occasional toys while the piano is being played or you’re enjoying the space.

Danielle, this room is rectangular, and anything other than a large, rectangular rug will look strange and not a comfortable, cozy space that anyone is going to want to be in. Using the art on the wall behind the piano, I'd suggest a darker rug that has some warm terracotta colors which will go well with the floor, and mitigate the gray colors of the room, which need some warm tones to play off against them. This is such a nice space and a round rug would not do it any favors, to say the least,

Well the Barbie house has only been there since March and I have a large basket for ”occasional” toys but it was in the corner hiding since it was overflowing. Hey I think we’re doing ok! I have a lot of friends who have made their dining rooms into playrooms.

Thanks Groveraxle ! Superb. You’ve got skills! Dare I ask where I can get that rug and how much it costs...

I love groveraxle's second rug in those warm colors. I just have one concern: Should the rug perhaps run in the same direction as the wood on the floor? One doesn't usually see a rug that runs counter to the length of the couch.

do you think I should get a square rug? Or a massive rug Ingrid ?

Hey! I would personally do a rectangle rug under your sofa and add a simple coffee table. I would also push the piano a little back towards the French doors. Under the piano I would add a free form 'fur' like rug to play with different textures. The fur can even overlap the rectangle so that you achieve a room with tons of character.

You could find a small coffee table with an inside that doubles as storage for the toys ;)

Idk the basic shape of piano! I'm posting a rug I'd love to see in person, cause rich with purple / eggplant and bit of bright in there. Why have a rug that connects the player with the spectator/ watchers... let the pianist have space. :))

Secondary colors make it interesting: orange-y brown of art, and purpley… yes? Rug has some in it too.

I think this would look nice in your area. on sale at esalerugs "trellis rug"

along with the faux fur idea as such... your would be more under the piano

It's grey, but is one kind of music played? ;-)

groovy, man....

Center the sofa on the larger window wall, place the toys in the corner of the two windows and select a rug that is rectangular for the room.

So many ideas! I’m ordering something tomorrow. I need to Get cracking!

Danielle, both the rugs I Photoshopped in your room are from World Market. Both come in 9 x 12. But measure before you order. You do not want to get a rug too small and you may need a 10 x 14.

Here's the blue rug:

I need at least a 10x 10 or more so you’re right on the 10 14. I love screaming deals what about

this rug?

Everdebz so you like this with above Rug?

That chair is totally cool! I'd be happy to recommend pillows after we see the rug.

If you post a link to the rug. maybe I can Photoshop it in your room.

Danielle, you were shopping and asked what I thought - I just saw it - but the chair is great, and seems just right: not casual / not overdressed, for the concert that is ... ;-)

In one way, a piano isn't regular furniture, and in my feeling doesn't live by regular rules.... to each his own... Hope the rug is ok.

Is rug taupe-y and black...are they the colors you anticipated, happier about it, or not as happy? also with sofa.... Idk that I'm crazy about it, but I'm not there to see in person....

Remove the books, etc... and take another photo, please. :)

You had asked about a burnt orange rug sorta pumpkin.... nice for art maybe, but under the piano, I think too similar in color to piano..... bit less of pumpkin or other color would seem better... more stimulating/ pleasing too I think than the current rug, sorry.

A rug mixing a neutral with bit of plum or green would be good imo. A bit of straight line and bit of curvy... an unpredictable vibe, just like music can be!!!!

A throw over the sofa would be that amount of color??

Experts could help I think... but I thought the art seemed alone, so a similar look even a pillow ? could balance the room.

The couch seems neutral, like putty? any blend with rug ? then the piano and art grab attention.... please for me haha try pillow or a throw on sofa.

Danielle... did your bulldog approve of this change prior to it occurring? You should have made sure you got his/her approval first. So hopefully he/she is ok with it!

Sofa and rug - are they traditional / transitional? a soft neutral "natural" latte might go with rug especially..... what color fabric are your curtains?https://www.pier1.com/confetti-fringe-natural-pillow/2602868.html#ct-cross-sell

I'm crazy about how this gold looked with your walls - are they showing at all green? does art have a bit of yellow/gold?

The ivory seemed in the rug also, and a brightener, and neutral.
