Change the Rug?
Would you suggest a different rug for my living room? I’m in the process of getting new blinds (silhouettes) and panels that I have not yet selected but thinking the rug is so busy and could perhaps go with something different to brighten up the room. Any suggestions?

Comments (7)The idea is to lighten the top half of the room both in color and in style. Use the slips on just the armless chairs. I think that will look fine since the armchairs are over to the side. Designers often use a different look at the ends of the table versus the sides. Do you have a lighter colored bed sheet? Why not try laying it down over the carpet. That will give you an idea of how a light colored carpet would work. Also, you will want to change some of the artwork. You need to bring the blue up to eye level and get rid of the jewel tones altogether....See MoreWallart Vote please
Comments (16)It seems that you both really like the wall clock triptych, as you have asked about this several times. If YOU really like it, I would keep and use it regardless of what anyone says or thinks. I don't think the rug needs to be changed for the clock as it all seems to go well together in terms of color. Would you consider just using the two flanking canvasses and leaving out the clock? You could always use it as a clock, perhaps propped up on a bureau or desk in another room....See MoreNeed help Changing rug of my house floor
Comments (1)I'm sorry about your flood. Most people install neutral color tile that works with their wall color. Like paint, tiles have different undertones so be sure to bring samples to your house to see if you like the tile in your space. You can plan for area rugs too to add color and warm up the space. I like plain shapes and colors installed in an interesting pattern. Home Depot has a row of tile samples and there should be info about if the tile is floor or wall. You can also get info about installers there. Or go to your local tile store, the usually have installers or can suggest some. Post pictures of your space and you might get more suggestions. Did your subfloor get wet as well?...See MoreThinking of Changing my Area Rug
Comments (8)You've made this into a very inviting and livable space. Love your gallery wall. I would just suggest that you lower the painting over the couch and perhaps think about removing everything over the TV. With a smaller room it's good to leave some negative space. I don't see any rug choices added to your post. You might consider buying a rug that covers most of the floor and placing the animal hide on top. A rug in a neutral color with a small or subdued pattern would tie your space with its different colors and pattern together, and also make the room look larger and more cohesive. The eye needs a place to rest while taking in the interesting features of this room....See MoreColleen

4 years agoThank you so much for All the suggestions! Still trying to find the right look. Can this rug work? It’s just laid out on top of older rug just to see color. Could be an option?

4 years agoThere is no wall for a picture over the couch. I have windows there but will try bolder colors. My only concern is I want to carry color into the kitchen which joins the living room so want something that will be easy to do kitchen curtains with. Thoughts? Thinking blue colors in rug would carry nice into kitchen.

4 years agoI picked up this rug yesterday and giving it a try. What do you all think? It has some pool in it and like the subtle feel to it. Thoughts on how to now accessorize? Would you do blue drapes or no drapes or something else?

Just thinking out loud....if you go lighter on the ottoman it will blend with the area rug.
Maybe consider an ottoman on legs. That will lighten up the weight and color of the ottoman.
This is offered in a gray color it does not work for your living room, but here is some inspiration.
