combining rugs for open floor plan
5 years ago
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

Coordinating rugs in an open floor plan
Comments (8)I also like the last one you posted and think it will work well. I also have two rugs close by in an open floorplan. What I've found works well is to use similar colors, but to have the rugs vary either in pattern or in the predominate background color. One rug has a gold background with rust, brown and sage accents with a black border; the adjacent rug has a sage background with the rust, gold, and brown accents. They need to be different enough to stand alone, but have some elements in common in terms of style and colors to link them together....See MoreOpen Floor Plan Area Rug Dilemma - Statement Wallpaper and Sofa
Comments (8)Is the bench in front of the fireplace small enough to fit on either side of the fireplace under the window? If so, put it there and get a matching one so you have benches on both sides. If not, get two benches that fit. That lounge chair/ottoman combo to the right of the FP feels out of place and isn't part of the conversation area. I would find another home for it. This arrangement has the added benefit of not blocking one's view of the FP from across the room. I agree with continuing the jute rug and removing the hide rug from that area. I would add some throw pillows for the white chairs that have more of your sofa's chartreuse color in order to tie the two spaces together. If the bench is moving, you now have room for a small, low coffee table in front of the chairs. Lastly, the accent wall color you've chosen is lovely, but doesn't really coordinate with the wallpaper. I would have picked up one of the lighter greens from the wallpaper to pull it all together....See Morerugs in an open floor. plan

Comments (4)I have a living room, dining room, kitchen open floor plan. I just purchased a lovely rug for living room space. Should I put matching rug under dining room table, or possibly a tan or ivory jute rug? Photos in comments. 1 pic in comments shows the old green flower rug and a view from living room to dining and kitchen areas....See MoreRelated Professionals

Main color in "Abstract Fog" looks as much cloudy blue as it does grey. Don't think you want grey.
