Rug Dilemma - Need Help

4 years ago

Hi all, I’m having trouble deciding on a style of rug that would go with my current room. Anyone have any suggestions? It’s much appreciated!

Pretty room! Are you wanting to stay with grays/white monochromatic? Or are you wanting some color, and if so, what are your favs? Do you want a more modern style or want to mix in traditional? Subtle or no pattern, or would like to bring in a stronger pattern?

For instance, this is a rug that brings in a bit of color, has both warm and cool tones, a subtle pattern ... but I have no idea if it’s a style you like.

In a room:

This leans traditional, but fits well in modern, and has more gray.

Staying monochromatic and lighter .....

Many of the sites that sell rugs allow you to upload a photo. You can then play around with different rugs.

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.

Freedomplace1-love how you can put the rug in the room! I didn't like the last one, I thought I'd like a more blue rug, but after seeing it in the room, I don't think I like a mainly blue. I'm going to look for a rug w/ more natural neutral colors, some blue, something that is rich in color but maybe w/ the lighter color....if any of that makes sense :) The 1st, 2nd & 3rd ones are my faves along w/ the last one Jinx posted.

I think if I wanted a runner there and you love what you have, I'd just have it run in the part of the hallway coming up from the stairs. The place where you have the runner in the background in that latest picture, looks like it's part of a room and not part of the hallway? That last runner you posted is very nice and looks like it would coordinate well, too, if you really think you need something longer than your current one.

Oh wow! Looks great. I do like neutrals such as natural fiber. I’m trying to find one like In this picture below. But I’m struggling to find it.

A pop of color would be nice, without straying too far from the neutrals? Something with a grey-toned blue?

Love the light fixture in your space.

The last one you posted...

RugsUSA and eSaleRugs both carry lots of natural fiber rugs, they probably have the first one you posted or something similar.
