Need help regarding rug/rugs to use in this odd-shaped hallway?
Comments (14)Thank you ginatay124! I love the picture you attached. While I really lIke the idea of using an octagonal rug to showcase the architecture, I am concerned that putting a table in the middle of the hall on this rug would present some problems in my home with the traffic flow. And since I am having trouble finding a sufficiently long and wide rectangular console, your suggestion for using a mission style dresser or sideboard is excellent. Here then are some additional questions that I struggle with: 1. Can I mix an octagonal rug in the center of the foyer (to echo the architecture) with a rectangular table on the side wall if I don’t want to place a table in the center of the foyer? (In other words, can I mix shapes in the foyer or does an octagonal rug always call for a round centered table and a rectangular rug needs a rectanglar table to echo the lines?) 2. I love the idea of chairs on either end of the rectangular table, but I have no idea what kind of chair would look good. The only mission style chairs I have seen are the ones around dining room tables and they don’t look particularly comfortable or welcoming. If I were to get a small fabric covered chair, what style would be appropriate to go with the rest of the furniture in the foyer? You and Beverly have given me some wonderful ideas and any suggestions with regard to the two questions above are greatly appreciated....See MoreHelp me pick a rug size and shape!
Comments (3)Totally. Haven't moved furniture back up yet so I don't have a picture. Just didn't know if it's an odd choice to put a small circular rug under a desk chair under a larger desk--you know, like how it's standard advice to say to get a larger rug for your living room or one that fully fits your dining room chairs when they're pulled out from the table...I wanted to be sure I wouldn't be committing a design crime or something!...See Morerug size for L-shaped office?
Comments (2)Thank you. We set the desks up that way for esthetics and so we wouldn’t have our backs to the door and instead would be perpendicular to the door. When you say two rugs, do you mean one rug under each desk and chair, or one rug for the desk and chair area, and a second rug for the other section of the “L” (the section immediately inside the door to the office)? If two rugs for the desk and chair area (one rug under each desk and chair), should I then leave the rest of the room without a rug?...See MoreSuggestions on rug size and shape for entryway
Comments (5)If it was my door, I would only have a rectangular rug at the floor near the front door. The rug would be large enough to step into the room and close the door while still standing on the rug. I wouldn’t have a runner up to the length of the console table. I would not like the front legs of the console on the rug and have the table be lopsided....See MoreHome Interiors with Ease
