I voted for the grey and turquoise just because it's a really striking rug. I think you could do either, but the grey one is more of a focal piece in the room.

I just LOVE Chevron stripes.....and I love Charmean's comment about it being pixie dust for your floor.................Carole

thanks for your input! i just ordered a grey and white chevron rug so i'm feeling good about it now. and i liked the pixie dust comment too- very fun.

i liked the chevron as well, however is that blue rug shown in your space

No, the chevron rug in the photo I posted is from West Elm....very inexpensive....but the look is great. It is off white and chocolate brown.

Gary, the picture w/ the turquoise rug in the dining area w/ white leather parsons chairs is my house and it's the space I'm working on right now.
