which rug is better with furniture color vs floor color (see pics)

last year

My dining furniture is dark but my floors are light. Looking at a sisal rug in brown or light brown. Wasn’t sure which color looked better with my furniture and floors. Thanks.

I would choose a rug that pulls some of the wall color down to the floor. Why are there coat hooks to the right of the hutch? Your furniture seems very rustic for the classic formality of the architectural detail.

Either rug will blend in likely. Are nearby rooms 'full' of pattern and such? if they aren't, you might like adding oomph with color, as decoenthusiaste suggested.

I saw your house pics yesterday on the house building forum! I had actually saved your bathroom pic (the other view you have of the larger view...you should post it over here!!) to use for inspiration for our upcoming home build. I LOVE your bathroom. You do have similar colors to our bathroom now, which I love enough to repeat in our future bathroom. Our paint color is a bit lighter (Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments cut to 75%) but the feel is the same. We have white fluffy bath mats and I wouldn't have it any other way. Having seen your bathroom from the angle where you can see the front view of your tub with that great window and the other vanity on the other side...I wouldn't want anything to distract from it.

Flooring color with cherry furniture: inspiration pics/advice?
Q
Comments (2)
Most of our furniture is cherry, mixed in with some walnut and mahogany pieces. We chose maple stained walnut flooring. I too didnt want too much grain showing but didnt want the floor to look too uniform in color. The maple stained walnut is a beautiful look IMO. IRL you can see better the subtle shading in the floor. This is the best picture I have to show the cherry console against the walnut stained floor. The other pieces are mahogany chest and walnut plant stand.

ellendi - so I guess that could argue for greenish walls or beige-y cream walls. The paint could bring together either the tiles or the counters which are actually a very light tan. And the grout, which is "almond" looks much lighter than I wanted it to but it's another light cream factor. Hmmmm. I am going to the SW store on the way home. Will have them mix up a few and paint them on to see. Will try to take some photos. bluemoon - I like the Masada in that kitchen but I think I've burned myself on the orange and there's no going back. I feel completely decisionally incapacitated at this point. Too many decisions are not going right. I am going to spend triple the cost of that backsplash fixing that sticking-out edge and some bad grouting between the splash and the counter (I know, there's supposed to be siliconized caulk there, not grout. Told the tile guy that. He said it's ok 'cause the grout is polymerized. In either case he didn't do a good job with that line). What I do love so far is the counters, the sink (single bowl - would never go back), and the Kohler Karbon faucet (the most awesome faucet ever for a lot of reasons especially the ergonomics of washing dishes).

Which kitchen color combo do you like better and why?

I really want quartz! I do understand that soapstone would look really great. In the inspirational pic, she did a glaze on her island too. However! It's a different glaze, just darker on the edges.(I don't know the technical term. I will not have the beautiful detailing work that she has on her island (over budget).) What do you all think of doing the same glaze she did on my simple frame cabinets on my island? Jan you like the lighter teal on the island? I'm thinking about going into a paint store and just finding a different color that more closely matched the inspirational pic and going the glaze that she did. I was going to do Caeserstone color Concrete. (Rugged Concrete has some poor reviews). However, am I'm not as confident is the company as I was with Cambria. And I'm looking into the best place to buy Caeserstone. I could go throught the flooring store where I'm looking at samples, however I don't think they would give me the best price?! Whereas, I love Cambria! and already has a quote. I am debating doing with one of there lighter grays. I am not doing a teal bump out sink! However this is a good pic of the color and glaze of the island.

Since you have some blue in your dining room, we might suggest looking at rugs that contain some of the same blue to add some color and unify the space. Please look to the rugs, included in these designs of ours below, for some inspiration.

This was posted over a month ago, but hope this helps. When adding a new element, it often means reassessing room to ensure there is a connection.

With the more casual look of a sisal (recommend a flat natural fibre style) and the white molding giving a formal/traditional feel, I’d embrace the blue on the entire wall. If possible, update chandelier, remove item next to hutch and add art that ties in with the blue. (If hutch could be centered on another wall, it may help with balance.) Consider adding drapes, if you like the look and Ikea has linen like ones at good prices. Lovely handmade pottery as a centrepiece would be a nice addition, again using blue. All this can be done slowly and I think room would have a lot more personality.

Sisal can look quite informal which doesn’t seem to coordinate with your furniture. As well, sIsal can sometimes not lay flat which could present a tripping hazard.

Also, the two rugs that you show seem to blend with the color of the floor, resulting with little to no distinction between the floor and the rug. I’d encourage you to look for a more colorful option. Good luck.
