combining rugs for open floor plan

I went against most people's advice and got two different colored karastan wool rugs for the living room and dining area. One primarily peach and one dark blue. They do have some colors in common and don't clash IMO.
But now trying to get a runner for the entry way that will be in between the two is a challenge.
I've ordered two - one that is primarily blue and should go well with the living room rug but may make the dining room rug look like odd man out.
one multi colored that may tie them together
Any thoughts? Please don't flame me

How to combine a dining room/craft room in an open concept plan
Comments (2)If you will be using your table for both dining and crafting, if you have the room you might consider having cabinets built along one wall in there. This way you could store your crating supplies out of sight in the lower cabs and your dishes, glassware, serving pieces on top where they would be on display. You might even have two cabs built, if you have a lot of room and crafting supplies. In that configuration, you could have easy access to things you use often.

Comments (8)Bonnie, I have an open floor plan from the LR to the DR. They are right across from each other and only separated by a walking path to the FR. I live in a 2300 sq. ft townhouse. I have wood floors going through 90% of my home. I don't follow many rules of thumbs when decorating but for this one: with solid wood tables use a solid rug. With a glass table always use a patterned rug. You don't have to have a rug in every room. Here is the reason: A glass table can be seen thru and you can actually view the beauty of a patterned rug at any angle. You can't do that with a wood table. Besides, wood tables give a warm feeling on their own. My feelings for eating areas is to use no rug since crumbs (people have the tendency to step on them once they drop) and spills do happen. But that's me. Many on this forum would disagree....See Morerugs in an open floor. plan
