Help with rug choice in living room
I am super excited to be replacing our hand-me-down couch with this velvet sofa. The swatch I got is a bit redder than the image... closer to mulberry I would say. My current rug in the living room won't match this, so I need a new rug (in 8' x 10'). Any advice on what fabrics and/or colors to look for?? It will be going on hardwood floors in a room that has low to moderate natural light and will take up most of the room.

Log house living = LOTS of wood... living room area rug help please!
Comments (11)I have lived in 2 log homes. I understand your problem! Do you have any interior stonework also? Last time I was in this position, I tried to pull the base color of the rug from the lightest tone in the stone on my fireplace, so that I didn't end up with too much going on. Jewel tones do seem to work well, also. I like the last 3 you posted in the comments. It is really hard to pick unless you can see the rugs in person, too. I ended up ordering my last rug through a local furniture store, where I could see and feel samples. They ended up being very competitive on price. I tried ordering online first, and the colors always seemed a little "off" once I got them rolled out in my wood-everywhere house....See MoreRug choice in a living room
Comments (15)I prefer the plain rug that you posted to the patterned one. I think I'm getting bored with diamond patterns on rugs. But this is more to illustrate another approach to hanging art for your room....See MoreLiving room help! What kind of rug to use in my living room?
Comments (3)What are the big red scratch-outs? Furniture you aren't keeping? First step is the couch, second is the rug and third is the paint. Paint color should be based on fabrics and textiles (seating and rug) in the room. It can be custom blended, but the furniture is set in stone. When you shop for the rug, it should be 2-4 feet wider than the sofa. Slip it under the front 1/3 of the sofa and have it extend past the ends by 1-2 feet. You can use painter's tape on the floor to figure out the best size for your sofa and room. I'd replace the dining rug too, so the two are coordinated. In addition, push your TV credenza against the wall and put the TV on a swivel base to adjust for viewing....See MoreTransitional style living room - rug choice
Comments (6)Here's the rug turned around with my new sofa and old loveseat. I moved some tables around and my hubby's not so nice recliner. Trying to decide if I should get a new loveseat or 2 side chairs. The picture w the mirror and sofa table is where I am planning on putting the TV. I think I have hubby sold on getting a wall away recliner. What do you think of this furniture arrangement? The room is 15 x 17....See MoreKristin Brandt

What sort of end result do you want for the room,what is your style? For example, cheerful or moody? Boho or formal? IOW, what direction do you want the rug to enhance? What size do you need? Pets or kids? and do you have/plan on a coffeetable?
