I am presently trying to decide whether to place a rug in the sunroom. The sunroom is 20’ x 8’.

Can the wicker and armchair be exchanged, as it would feel more balanced.

Comments (2)All the carpeting in my house is olefin or polyproylene. My husband can destroy anything, and these materials are colorfast, won't fade, won't stain...you can clean them with dilute bleach...we've used mineral spirits on them to clean greasy stains. Really great stuff and it comes in a variety of styles. Fundamentally it's made out of recycled plastic milk containers. Only thing is it will crush...do not get berber, but only tightly woven or dense yarn versions so they maintain their shape. Oh yes, hubby did manage to destroy a part of one of them...he was working on something and put the drop light down on it and it melted. They do have a low melt point. Thanks, dear!!! I've had good service and good pricing from regency rugs...they are an ebay company....See MoreDo you like this octagon rug for sunroom?
Comments (5)I am thinking BM Carob for the walls and black, bronze and shades of tan/creams accent pieces around the room and this lovely rug!

Comments (33)jane ny, I was in a similar situation last year. For me the sequence was paint first, then flooring, then baseboards, But it looks like you may have baseboards already installed. Painting first worked for me because I did it myself and there were spatters on the subloor before I was finished. You might want to check on whether your subfloor is indeed covered with plywood, because you may need an underlayment before installing your floor, depending on what you choose. Best to check where you buy the flooring. With some help from a friend who knew what he was doing and owns a Skill Saw, I installed a plywood underlayment in less than two hours. I too wanted tile with a slate or similar look, but the room was already over budget (long story) and I chose to spend my money on high end French doors because the floor could always be changed later. I got some advice from the flooring forum while deciding. You can always post a message there before you proceed. We narrowed floor choices down to either loose-laid sheet vinyl or vinyl tiles. My friend chose the tiles because the color and pattern seemed to fit well in the sunroom/porch. The original intention was to keep those tiles for about a year while I shop for tile and find a good tile installer. But the floor has held up well, despite some abuse like beach sand, rain coming in when some airhead (...See MoreRug for sunroom with BOLD print
Comments (11)Because you have a bold print on the seating, it creates a challenge finding a bold print rug that goes. It helps to have the prints on a different scale. You didn't mention what size rug you are looking for. It would help people make appropriate recommendations (I was looking for 9x12; if you want bigger than that it will limit your choices)....See MoreNelida Mejia
