Would this rug suit my dark grey couch and warm wall tones. I won't be keeping the curtains.

What size entry rug?
Comments (3)I'd agree with debb but would also add that the function is important as well. In our harsh climate we have a very small rug (2'x3' maybe) sitting right in front of the door so that you can get in with wet boots and take them off immediately. The balance of the area (about 7 x 10) is taken up with a mosaic rug (marble that looks like carpet). We did this because the marble rug is indestructable when covered with wet boots, and the water won't ruin our floors in the entry. The addition of many many many grout lines within the mosaic makes the area non slip as well. I've entered many houses here for parties and with all of the outside shoes piled in the entry, it gets wet and the marble and slate entry's always get really slippery. This is a summer or early fall picture when we don't have the little carpet in front of the door....See MoreRug Help!
Comments (9)sasafras - I luv that floor as well and contemplated the rug idea for some time but it some times feels like some thing is missing in there with out the rug. Olychick - thanks for the link, I do like that look. anitamo - I'm not a big fan of that peach on the walls, so that will be changed in the near future. In the meantime I'd been to Home Goods and got this one just to get a sense of the rug being in there. what do you think of the rug and the size? DH thinks that its too big for the space, its 8x10. And heres one from Overstock that caught my eye and I keep coming back to it over and over but not sure if it fits in our room. What do you think? Might be too much for the room to handle ?...See MoreLarge affordable DR rug: connect 3 5x8 or paint a 15x8 plain one?
Comments (20)quick drive-by: WOW! Thank you so much for your responses/ideas/suggestions. I'm not a shopper (other than Lands' End/LLBean), so I really don't know what is available out there. I saw this article on bold rugs where they showed a RH Diamante Flatweave rug which I love but can't afford. So I thought to brainstorm something creative. I will look at other options/stores/ebay, etc. I was also thinking of a non-common size for my narrow/long Dining Room. again THANK YOU. --- I'll need to start another thread on colors. I have a 4-corner colonial home where half of it is grayish-blue/chrome accessories. The DR is in the 3rd corner (office in the 4th). --> Does the DR have follow the grayish blue? I already own gorgeous silk drapes - olive/golden sheen. The room is naked except for the drapes/cherry curtain rods, and medium brown pine wood floor. I have a gorgeous antique large baroque gold rectangle mirror, that I'm thinking of standing on the floor/leaning against a wall. So I'm thinking of staying in the Olive/Golden color scheme. Yes?

Comments (92)Walls and flooring help set the tone of the room. Choosing a rug for the current wall color limits you a bit. What about the other spaces connected to LR to create harmony. Purchasing a rug with colors and pattern that you absolutely love is important, however think of your rug as anchoring the room to get that wow factor....See MoreAngela Wilcox

PB is having a sale on Belgian Flax solid curtains. I’d pull a color from the rug:

These are pricier, but I really like the subtle stripes in the ”Sandalwood” color:
Of course you can find lots of similar ones at other places. I wouldn’t do sheers, as I don’t think they fit the feel of the room. Too lightweight.
Add pillows that tie in the tones of the room:
