With your furniture I would have probably chosen mot texture and less pattern so now I think I would not do a rug in the DR I actully don't like rugs in DRS usually . My choice would have been a nice shag for the LR

I think your living room rug looks great. Of your other choices, I like the first one. Not only does it coordinate well with the LR rug (or in these pics anyway), I think it would work better with all the other elements in the rooms.

Your current dining room rug, in these pics, looks fine too. Are you just wanting a change?

Jinx,

Thank you for your advice. Yes I just want a change. The dining room and the close proximity to the Living room I feel maybe it’s a bit busy.

Patricia,

I have been playing with these rugs to no avail. I am open to switching out the living room rug. However, I would like to use it. Or at least one of the two shown here. I have put it under the dining room table. What would you suggest for the living room as far as a shag. And would that work with one of the other rugs.

No rug needed in the dining room

IMO the navy rug in the living area creates a 'black hole' I would have selected something much lighter.

I love that rug… I was originally going to do an abstract. But, instead went with something a bit more solid because I am going to do abstract artwork above the couch. What do you think of a solid shag in the living room with the blue rug under the dining. Maybe a shag?

Grey or white cream shag.

I never thought about no rug in dining area… but you are the second pro that suggested it. I am going to remove the rug, to see what that looks like.

I’m not a pro and I’m a huge fan of several on Houzz (@Beverly FLADeziner, for one) but I like a rug underneath a dining table. Especially in an open concept house.

The first rug you chose might be better for the living room and the current one can go in the eating area. It kind of DOES look a bit like a dark hole but under the dining table might be better.

Full disclosure: I am a total rug fan. I think they make open concept houses have better “spaces” visually.

Here are some other color rugs that would look good in your space.

I guess the green undertone on the wall has be a bit confused with the selection of such royal blue / navy accessories.

Beverly,

I absolute love your first room design. Thank you for your help. I know what you mean with the blue navy rug and the walls having a green undertone. I changed the paint wall color at the last minute, it was going to be a light grey color. (Go figure). But by that time I already purchased the rug. Ugh…My nemesis in design is area rugs I love them but I have a terrible time with them. They send me down rabbit holes and my design intention gets way off track. I don’t want to even tell you how many rugs I have stored. I have co-signed an artist to do an abstract water seen already. I have since moved the rug out from the dining room table. And I actually like it. Thanks for the tip. I wish I posted on here before for advice before committing to any rug purchases. Here is the artwork going above the sofa. Of course I can always put in
my bedroom. :)

Does the artist have photos of the room? IMO there are some major issues with this combination of colors.

Beverly,

I can’t thank you enough!

I keep looking at your first room design, and I really do love it. I called the artist and she is going to tone it down and put more of the colors you suggested. I am listing the area rugs for sell. And have decided to move forward with your room design! I will put my artist artwork in my bedroom with the toned down colors. One last thing… can you please tell me where I can purchase the artwork you suggested in your first room design. I appreciate the link for the rug. You’re are truly Awesome!

Thanks
Toni
