Design Dilemma Dining Room Furniture

dining room rug to coordinate with living room rug

5 years ago

My home has an open floor plan for the dining/breakfast room and living. I've chosen a rug with the help from an awesome Houzz Pro shown below. I will be doing curtains in the living room and cornice in the dining room in the same fabric (shown below) . I'm hoping Houzz magic can help me find a coordinating rug for the dining room. pretty please!

I don’t think you need another strong pattern and your dining room furniture is going to cover most of it….

Great choice Judy, thank you. That's right up the alley I was thinking. I was first considering a jute rug because it seems neutral but wasnt loving anything I came across.

Just one reason rugs/upholstery come before paint, in paint decisions. : ) The BM paint is gray, surprise surprise. White and gray, navy and gray, a lighter gray than the walls, gray and something else. a sisal with NO gray at all........and on we go. What is in the REST of the room?

To rug or not to rug... (rug under dining room table)

Thanks for all the advice! I think I am on the side of getting a rug. The more time I have spent looking at the room today has made it more obvious. Thanks for the pictures Beth, super helpful! I am an extremely particular person, especially when it come to rugs haha (I spent 3 or 4 weeks constantly/obsessively searching for the one in our living room). It is nice to have a jumping off point. Let the search begin... I have a black rectangular planter coming that I was planning on placing on the table and planting some low succulents in (picture). I thought that the table needed something black on it to pull in the light fixture more effectively. I was also planning on putting large plant in the corner. I'm not sure what type of art to put on the wall under the window. The window placement is...awkward. I wonder if a live/moss planting would work? There will be more mini projects and questions that come up for this main area as we move through it. We have most of the major pieces but are missing a lot of the smaller elements to tie it all together.

Sorry, not sure why the picture didn't post. Here it is again. RL, I like the round pendant and the pleated one in your first set of suggestions. Is that a Nelson bubble pendant? Also, I should have given a few dimensional details. The table is 36" wide at the ends, 40" wide in the center. Ceiling height is 92".

Need to find a coordinating second rug for living room and entry
Q
Comments (2)
I like rugs #3 and #13. Each contrasts but complements your leopard rug. I just did something similar with a living room area rug and an entry rug. The entry rug is at the front door hallway off the kitchen so I wanted something that looks nice but can be cleaned, and not too expensive so I won’t mind replacing it if necessary.

Thinking that jute/sisal, although some good tones, may not be the best pairing for the living room rug…just a little bit too casual.

This is Martha Stewart for Safaviah. Colors on monitors are fickle, but I am trying to find just the gold/creams as the dining room dark furniture would look better on the lighter tones of the fabric rather than the darker blues. What do you think?

I like the two tones.

I agree with the light tones especially considering the room itself is not large at all.

Is the first rug a jute rug? I'm leaning toward that one.

I really like JudG's first option. Here's another that appears to work well with the fabric and existing rug. Maybe it will appeal to you.

Oooh nice Manon. I do like that option. Do you have a link or info? I'd like to see if I can find customer reviews to see the rug in different light... if that makes sense.

Glad you like it! It's the Bridgette Printed rug from Pottery Barn and is made from wool and jute - so a nice natural fiber mix. I may be mistaken, but I thought Pottery Barn once offered samples. Take a look.

Do you really need a rug? I do not have one in my dining room (where we eat most of our meals). It is so easy to clean dust mop the floor rather than vacuum. Fill your walls with wonderful artwork and no one will notice the floors.

Threes, I've considered not doing a rug but since I'm putting cornice instead of curtains I'm worried itll look too empty.

Hi there! Can you share where you found the rug the Houzz Pro suggested for you? It's beautiful. I'd love to see a picture of it in your space.
