Need help choosing a rug color
I've chosen these two fabrics for my living room furniture. The cream one is for my two la-z-boy recliners and the other fabric is for my sofa and loveseat. I'm very color challenged and am having difficulty selecting a proper are rug color to tie everything together. For instance, do I choose a solid colored rug or can I choose a pattern? And, what color? My floors will be a dark color (no shine) hardwood. There will be a grey stone fireplace with white built-ins on either side. I want to keep everything light and airy (think modern farmhouse). The dark parts of this fabric are greige in color - not sure if my photo shows it properly. I would love any advice or help you may be able to provide.

Need Help Choosing Area Rug for Living Room
Comments (16)Try this......move the ottoman where your coffee table is now just to see if a darker plane will give you the "anchorage" you're looking for. If that does the trick then you can either purchase a new, dark coffee table or paint the base of your existing one. I think adding an area rug will make the space seem too closed in. I like all your colors....See MoreNeed help choosing a new rug
Comments (12)Hi there. Cannot tell exactly color of sofa as photo is blurry, but my suggestions of above would embrace the space with texture to compliment the sofa and art work. I know you mentioned watercolor style design but threw this out there for suggestions as texture and pillows to unify once rug has been chosen. Also, the direct relationship to the other rooms are important when choosing materials. A different perspective would help to have a cohesive look. Your room appears more contemporary which I was inspired by your sofa and art for the above suggestions. The black coffee table would be a nice contrast to any of the rugs and the shape of cowhide I chose to break up the squares in your space. If you chose this route then fun pillows would be a definite either in color or monochromatic depending on your preferences. Good luck...See MoreNeed help choosing new rugs, update dining room
Comments (3)I would like suggestions for rugs - 5 foot round for foyer and 9' X 11' rectangle for dining room. budget is up to $1000 for both. Preferably rug colors that would allow me to keep the stair carpet but move toward a lighter, color for the foyer and dining room rugs. Also I would like suggestions for drapes and fabric for chairs for dining room. Budget for that would be around $500....See MoreI need help choosing new rugs for challenging shaped kitchen.
Comments (13)Agree on the oddity of rugs in a kitchen. I was told ages ago a rug at outside doors really keeps the dirt tracked in, down. We are shoeless inside but still there are always THOSE TIMES. I also have a highly cushioned mat in front of my sink. I stand there for long periods of time certain times of the year and find it very helpful on my knees and hips....See MoreSherry Graves

2 years agoI disagree about purchasing furniture. The lead times are so long right now that if you wait until the house is finished, you may be sitting on orange crates for months! If you know the exact dimensions of your spaces, you can purchase the appropriate size furniture and have it delivered when you need it.
Anyway, regarding the rug, I'd add something with some color, since you seem to have a lot of gray and neutrals.
What do you think of this type?
