Help! Need some ideas for an area rug in apartment!
Just moved into an apartment and everything is white. Would love to add a color full area rug to go with existing furniture and a matching full size couch that is coming to match the love seat from Pottery Barn. Any ideas please!

Comments (1)If you have a moist, semi-shady area you could try planting a thicket for the birds using plants like Viburnum trilobum, other viburnum, elderberries, native plum thicket, etc. Lindera benzion, spicebush, grows very well in shady moist areas and birds love the berries (and it provides habitat for spicebush swallowtail caterpillars). Plant a Clematis virginiana (virgin's bower) over it and voila! Instant cover and food sources. I would add Lonicera sempervirens for the hummers if you can (native honeysuckle). Some of your hummer plants are not native, such as the chives, scabiosa, parsley...hummers also enjoy columbine, penstemon, and garden phlox. Seed-eating birds also love the seeds of coreopsis, native sunflowers, rudbeckia and echinacea. Your Bradford pear is unfortunately an invasive species in Virginia and you may want to consider replacing it with a native alternative if you can. Sounds like you're off to a wonderful start with what you have. Adding a water source to your yard will really bring the birds flocking!...See MoreNeed some advice please...area rug is bunching and puckering
Comments (2)Yes, you need a rug pad. They make them especially for this situation (rug on carpet). Here you go: https://www.rugpadusa.com/products/carpet-lock...See MoreNeed some help with Living Room & Kitchen area in new apartment
Comments (5)Have you looked at Article? do you like this combo? I just recently got the black leather Sven sofa and that exact chair for my room. I love them! I also got the Sven leather bench/coffee table. prices are very reasonable. Then find the accessories. bring in some art or a rug w/color. I really loved the sven in the blue. this would look great w/your floor and cream wall color. (it is cream, right, and not the yellow in the picture?) Here's how the Sven sofa, bench/chair look: The pouf was from Amazon,,,the Tables and MCM credenza I've had and refinished myself. Rug I had, but I want to get something lighter. If you don't like the mcm style, they do have some others look at the Sven Birch Ivory Sofa. it's on sale! https://www.article.com I don't know know what your style is, but here's a sample mockup for the nook...I like the idea of the bench against the wall diff pendant. table ideas, and a darker chair...See MoreNeed Help with Living Room Area Rug Ideas
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 More

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoLooks like a great apt. However, I suspect the furniture layout is not the best for this space. Can you post additional pics that clearly define the area to work with? Seem to be missing more of the window wall. Also do you plan to place a TV in the room?
Your carpeting is stunning and should not be covered by a rug, but the clock should be relocated so that a large piece/pieces of art can be installed on the wall. I have noted the location in green on the wall.
I colorful piece will turn the whole room around.
It might be better if you had a sofa instead of a loveseat in this room.
Larger end table and lamps also.

5 years agoWe think removing the mirrors and clock might be a great way to add color to your space. If you also want to add a rug, then that might be a great way as well. It looks like you might be able to create a better layout. Are you wanting to add the new sofa to the long wall where the clock is?
