Need help with choosing area rug and drapes.
Comments (12)The Thema Rug (first rug) you selected is a flat weave. I not sure about that fringe they've used on the rug. Looks like a different color and inexpensive. The 9x12 rug is $3,399 and that's a lot of money for that rug. I'm wondering if the cavernous size of your room could use a rug with a bit more thickness, and maybe even larger than the 9x12 size. Oh, I guess I assumed that you were getting a wood floor, but now I see that you are putting this rug on wall to wall carpet. Is the carpet a level loop, like a sisal would be? If you want to create a monochromatic room, that could be very attractive, as long as some of your finishes are dark to complement the beams. Sorry but I think it was a mistake to allow the hearth of the fireplace to wrap around the side of the fireplace and interfere with the window treatments. If we're dreaming here with no concern about $$, I would hire back the mason and cut back the side ledges even with the edge of the fireplace stone wall. If you don't do this first, you'll have to settle for drapery on only one side of the windows and I'm not sure you'll really be happy with that solution. Those windows look a bit dwarfed in comparison with the size of the room, so a recommended drapery treatment would make the windows appear larger in size. I would mount bronze or iron rods about a foot down from the beams and hang basketweave textured linen panels on either side of the windows, with woven wood roman shades to match the beam finish, mounted under the drapery panels to control the light and privacy.....See MoreHelp me choose an area rug for dining room
Comments (9)It's a lovely room but I would choose a larger rug which will make the room look even more elegant and rich. A rug with a border, such as the two directly above, gives a more finished look. Also, a rug with a bit more color variation, perhaps gray or cream with a soft terracotta, would lend more life to your dining room....See MoreHelp choosing area rug

Comments (6)I can understand why your husband doesn't like the gray rug. All the other rugs are old wool Orientals (except the hide) and the new one is what nylon, polyester and an ordinary on-line/HomeGoods purchase. Replace it with another with the same quality of the others. It is fine to see all of them at once because it is the style and quality which makes them work together....See MoreRelated Professionals
