oh good - glad to hear the runner is not as beige as it appears - taupe and white definitely coordinate better with existing. I would encourage you to fall in love with either an area rug OR a large piece of art for the wall over the sofa. Then that item will become your inspiration or jumping off point for the room. Also, the coffee table is too wide for the scale of the sofa and room. Lastly, make sure you get as big a rug as you can for that area. Check out natural or faux jute rugs. A neutral rug will give you flexibility in decorating your space.

The last rug was found on RugsUSA.com, though it's not proprietary and lots of websites have it. It's part of a collection of similar rugs that are all very inexpensive but have minor variations on a theme of Tribal Rug Pattern. Good Luck. https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/control/search-rugs?color_grp=Oranges https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-medallion/Rust/200KHMC04A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-dynast/Rust/200DISA05A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-olden-tribal-medallion-fringe/Rust/200KHMC07A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-sabine-fringe/Rust/200MBPR04A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rughttps://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-emblematic-tokens/Rust/200STCV14A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-timeworn-charm/Rust/200KHMC34A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-emblematic-tokens/Rust/200STCV14A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-tribal-medallion/Rust/200STCV06A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-printed-floral-flatweave/Rust/200MKCL11A-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-faded-tribal/Rust/200KHMC32A-P.html

any suggestions on how to go about with what size and style of a rug to place in the entryway. I have included the bench and console table which is on order. if I place 2 runner they will interfere with one another. Any thoughts? if I center a runner with the console then won't be able to center a runner with the bench. help?

@Diana Bier Thank you for your input Diana and suggestions and fresh ideas. And @roarah thank you as well for the ideas. I have written to Houzz about why we cannot load photos. I wanted to show you all I did paint my open study off the foyer a very dark Van Duesen blue by BM but because my dining room was so dark before I used BM White Dove in it for a break but I do love dark walls and may paint again in the future. Maybe some dark velvet draperies would be pretty in the DR for drama or is that too much with white dove. My house is very open and the DR and study flank each side of the foyer as you enter the house with case openings. In the meantime I have a technical question for everyone. My dining room is 15'9" x 12'4". I was thinking I needed a 9x12 rug until I tried one and it is about 6" too wide. I will have to move my funiture to place it on top. uggg it is all so heavy but I want to do the right thing. So that leaves me to find a 8 foot to 8'6 x 12 or 13' rug which is not easy to find on the width. SHOULD I bite the bullet and go for a 10x14 for this size room and just move everything again - then the funiture would rest on top. Just wondering what is the right size for scale of room.
