area rug advice
Hello All !!! I hope you are happy and healthy! I have just moved into a beautiful log home (please ignore the boxes and items where they wouldn't normally belong, still unpacking) and am looking for advice on what color and pattern scheme area rug would blend with this furniture? The light colored throw blanket and matching throw pillow will not be staying in this room. I would like to keep the Indian throw pillow just because it's one of those pieces that I just fell in love with, and the red white and blue blanket because it was handmade specifically for me, and because of the giant American Flag the previous home owners left hanging on one of the walls. During the day the room is lit by natural light from 4 sky light windows. The ideal sized rug would be 9' X 12' for a proper fit. There is apx. 3' between the wall and the couch on one side, then 9.5' between the wall and the couch on the other side and a little over 4' from the arm of my couch to the stone floor of the fireplace. I have included 2 pics from when the previous owners were living here so you can take into consideration the wood stove (which is removed and awaiting a new fireplace insert) and my TV placement is where they had some sort of black display shelves. Thanks everyone in advance for any advice given :)

Natural fiber Area Rug advice
Comments (9)I just was browsing my latest Home Decorators catalog and I saw a Faux Sisal that caught my eye. I would need to see it in person. I'm starting to think about adding a cat to the household and natural sisal is not an option, so faux may be for me. It says it is soft. I would think something like this would probably be available in the box stores. http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Cove_Area_Rug/880/ This post was edited by wendyb on Sat, Feb 1, 14 at 9:26...See MoreNatural outdoor area rug advice, please...
Comments (3)For outdoors, you want olefin. It will stand up to the moisture and UV exposure. Even a covered patio will have those issues and a natural fiber rug will get musty, moldy, and potentially have critters chomping on it....See MoreNeed area rug advice
Comments (3)Try the Visual Search feature on Rugs.com, too. If you select gray as a criteria, for instance, it will return a whole screen of options. Click on a pattern or solid that you like, regardless of shape, and the site will then offer other available sizes and shapes of the same style as well as other similar patterns....See MoreArea rug advice?
Comments (2)With the patterning in your new pillows, as well as your mirrors, I don’t think you really need to have an additional rug. It looks like you have carpeting, and you also have enough patterning and visual interest in the room. If you really want to layer a rug, though, I would suggest keeping it simple, overall,.. mainly a solid colored rug, something with some texture. . If you prefer to have a pattern, I think this one could work. btw, your glass table is nice, but if you have children, please consider using an ottoman style instead. (I always mention this to people, just in case they do have children in the place.) Lots of nice options these days, with ottomans, poufs, etc. And when needed, you can add a tray on top....See Moresonya

A 9x12 is under $700 —
This is another I thought of (that I’d been looking at). $704 —https://www.rugs-direct.com/Details/Safavieh-Antiquity-AT822/96287/151416
I think they both bring a nice, soft design and calm feel to a lot of textured surfaces.BTW: Your dog is so cute! Just chilling out. 😄

I decided to go with this one which has a small amount of green, my pub table bar stools are green and black, I think this will help connect the flow from each space to the next along with all the live green house plants.

3 years agoGreat choice! I think it’ll look absolutely perfect in there, love the colors and design.
I have a small Kilim in our (also small) music room, I really love them. :)
