Living room area rug help!
3 years ago
HELP! Need advice on what size of rug to place in our living room! It’s a bit of an awkward space because the fireplace tile juts out a lot and there is a nook next to it. Trying to figure out how to make a rug work with the couch and coffee table. I have a couple other sketches as well. Please see attached sketches. THANKS IN ADVANCE! 🙏🏼

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 MoreLiving room area rug design help!

Comments (11)OK. I have attached a pic of my living room. I have also attached a few pics of some rugs that have peaked my interest (the yellow flowers being my favorite). The only items in the room that will remain the same are the couch and loveseat. I'd like to keep my curtains if possible, but I'm not opposed to switching them out. Other than those 2 things, everything else in the room will be updated. Thanks for any input you can give!!...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 MoreRelated Professionals

3 years agoI made this on a design tool for your room. It shows a rug on the medium to smaller size with the dark hardwoods and white tile you talked about. I think because you have hardwood it may be better not to cover them all up which would give for a better design with more textures in my opinion. Hope this helps!
