Help choosing the color of an area rug!
Blue or Cream? If i go the blue it has to be an 8x10 and fits only under the front legs of the soft. The cream colored one i can go 9x12 and all legs of the sofa can fit. (Ignore the weird shadow on the close up of the cream one)

Help me choose an area rug style!
Comments (15)I wanted to put the rug right next to your fabric to see how it looks! :-) I like it! All of the rugs that I posted, except for the braided rug, came from www.selectrugs.com. You'll have to go in and use their search feature -- I was searching under floral rugs and traditional rugs in ivory/beige shades. (I have ordered from Select Rugs and have been very pleased with their service.)...See MoreNeed Help Choosing an Area Rug
Comments (10)Thanks for responding. I believe I am more on the contemporary side but then again I could be traditional but I think its more contemporary. But here is the rug I was looking at but it has circles and I think this will clash with the drapes. If I can find something that is elegant that would be fine also but it is a family room! here is the rug: a href="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n13/ambitiousbeginner/?action=view&current=SilkDrapes.jpg" target="_blank"> I DON'T THINK SO.....looks funny together. The rug is from Nieman Marcus but I am not willing to pay over $2000.00 for it. My budget is $1000.00 or less. I'M A CHEAPIE :-) The rug seems to have all my colors. As soon as I find the disk to upload to my computer then I can post a picture of my family room. Thanks for any suggestions...I am open to all...all of you have such good taste....See MoreNeed help with choosing area rug and drapes.
Comments (12)The Thema Rug (first rug) you selected is a flat weave. I not sure about that fringe they've used on the rug. Looks like a different color and inexpensive. The 9x12 rug is $3,399 and that's a lot of money for that rug. I'm wondering if the cavernous size of your room could use a rug with a bit more thickness, and maybe even larger than the 9x12 size. Oh, I guess I assumed that you were getting a wood floor, but now I see that you are putting this rug on wall to wall carpet. Is the carpet a level loop, like a sisal would be? If you want to create a monochromatic room, that could be very attractive, as long as some of your finishes are dark to complement the beams. Sorry but I think it was a mistake to allow the hearth of the fireplace to wrap around the side of the fireplace and interfere with the window treatments. If we're dreaming here with no concern about $$, I would hire back the mason and cut back the side ledges even with the edge of the fireplace stone wall. If you don't do this first, you'll have to settle for drapery on only one side of the windows and I'm not sure you'll really be happy with that solution. Those windows look a bit dwarfed in comparison with the size of the room, so a recommended drapery treatment would make the windows appear larger in size. I would mount bronze or iron rods about a foot down from the beams and hang basketweave textured linen panels on either side of the windows, with woven wood roman shades to match the beam finish, mounted under the drapery panels to control the light and privacy.....See MoreNeed help with choosing new area rug and chair for living room
Comments (12)Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I like the idea of some blue in the rug to pull from the photo above the fireplace, but I couldn't seem to find the right blue. A lot of the carpets had too bright of a blue. I'm limited to choices though because I'll only order from somewhere that has a store in my area where I can easily return the rug if I don't like it. I've decided to give this Safavieh carpet a try, I have it on order. I'm hoping the pattern and texture will provide enough interest. I'll work on the chair after that. I wonder if a chair with blue in it will still work if I get this carpet? I can tie the chair in by adding a few more toss cushions to the couch with blue in them and a couple of blue accessories throughout the rest of the space....See More

I wanted to show the rug Judy suggested, it looks so pretty in there (especially with the fireplace bricks).This first mock-up ate your white chair, sorry. :D

4 years agoNo orange in the house. I think it was just the autumn leaves i had on the mantle or maybe the reddish wood beams. Hard to tell with pictures. This is my dining room right next to the living room. I'm open to other suggestions beside my 2 options! I would love to see what others can do with the room!

This is in the same category as Judy’s rug, but with a pewter background (instead of taupe):

This one has some pink, so may be a big NOPE. I like a small amount of pink, but understand not everyone does. :)

Going bold! This background is “stone”, so not tan like it looks here:

This may be more tan than you want, but I like how it repeats colors of everything in the room:
