Fringe area rug for basement?
Comments (5)After looking around more last night, frieze looks similar. ? Larke, Mohawk is the maker. We have a Dyson animal and I was worried if it would work well or hold up well. We'll use a pad probably from Overstock when we get a rug. Oakley, I did post a photo of part of it the other day for someone talking about their paint color was too dark for the basement. It's not real exciting yet with just floors and paint. There's no base, no furniture. ect. Only Dh's main room and hall are finished. The other three rooms need flooring and two need painted. I'm not sure I'd be able to convince DH of a braided rug or not. He really liked the look of sisal but we both know that won't work well with cats. Rose, Thanks for telling me about your rug! The rug is neutral and that's a good thing for this room. His original plans a few years ago were pretty scary - he wanted dark green carpeting and camo furniture, etc. The room will have hunting stuff all over the place but I still think it can be done without looking like hunting camp and he was really excited about this rug. Bleigh, " Unfortunately my Dyson cleaner was almost impossible to push over the carpet and it would constantly bog down (making a horrible loud noise). " Thank you for that! After hearing how challenging it is to clean, we won't be getting this rug. Thanks everyone!...See Morewhat color rug to go with this new bathroom makeover? please help
Comments (0)i am re-doing my old bathroom and have picked out just about everything i want for my new bathroom. Finding a hot purple/magenta-ish rug has been super difficult to match the purpleish leaves in the shower curtain. I want the rug to go with the shower curtain and general feel of my bathroom. Can anyone recommend a color or online store or specific rug that they have in mind? It's been driving me crazy! The rug is the last thing I need to pick and its been the most difficult...See MoreFront door makeover, what color for the below door?
Comments (20)My3dogs, I can’t decide which I love more, your postcard New England cape nestled in the snow, or those two beauties looking out longingly at the yard ;) Now I need to go back and search up your threads to see pics of your interior!! My storm is metal and in rough shape. But maybe painting it would clean it up a bit. Do I paint both sides or should I leave the interior-facing side black? And I think everyone’s consensus was that the threshold gets painted black, correct?...See MoreWhat paint color for this small basement room?
Comments (18)Thank you all so much for the input! > As to moody - will there be plennty of lighting? There is just the one window and probably some scattered light from the window in the other room. Not that bright. But the rest of the house is bright and open so I'm not afraid to make one room theatre-like. > Hard to image this fairly narrow open space as a guest room (a queen bed is 6 ft 8 inches long). Consider a convertable couch/bed to allow for more floor space and it can then also double time as sitting area. Yes indeed I will have a narrow sofa that will double as a narrow twin guest bed. I already built a custom wood frame for it and intend to sew a slip cover out of some dark upholstery fabric. > I would keep the white walls and just create an interesting focal wall. Once you add a rug and furniture, it will feel cozy without feeling cave like. I‘d create a calm, relaxing space and color can be injected with art and accessories. For this room I don't mind if it feels cave-like. I think I almost prefer it. There is a proper living room upstairs that I intend to leave bright white. > A slatted wood wall would add warmth and soft lighting will be important as well. Yes I keep coming back to a wood focal wall. Using all your input I created a moodboard which I'll share here. Following a 60-30-10 rule, 60% Farrow & Ball Railings/black, 30% gray, 10% green/wood/plants. I added in some neon signs just to see what that would look like. Indirect warm lamp light for lighting. Will avoid using the overhead lights. I intend to paint the ceiling, trim, doors, stairwell, risers, etc, in Railings. Anyone feel extremely strongly against that? I feel like leaving the white would be purposeless for what I'm going for. Missing from this photo is window treatment. I was thinking a sheer flow white/gray curtain. The image above shows 2 wood panel styles, ebony and dark stain. I think I prefer the dark stain. Any thoughts on that? Thank you all again. This is very helpful for me....See Moreklcinaz
