11 years ago
Do I even want a grey rug? Suggestions please!

(I plan on trees on each side of the window and still need art)

    I like the one in the middle.

    I think they all look darn good. I think I'm leaning the left one in the photo. The grey tone works nicely with the curtains and has a nice pattern.

    Love the table chairs and drapes . That paint COLOR with the grey carpet is starting to look kinda blah grey out if you want a 1st impression opinion . No other color . Hmmmm?

    It would probably not help ... I like the one on the right.

    Annemarsh1, I'm open to other rug colors. Any suggestions for a new paint or different rug color?

    I say use one color instead. You have a lot of pattern in furniture and curtains.

    I would say purple would look chic and feminine.

    What size is the room?

    I like the one on the right too, because it looks like the coolest of the three and seems to go best with the curtains.

    It's going to be tough to get a consensus because everyone's monitor is a bit different in viewing colors. And, all three are similar so I'd say trust your on-site decision! Maybe get a friend you trust to view with you!

    I'd opt for a one-colour rug, what colour is hard to say, very personal.

    I love the pattern on pattern look of the one one on the left. Let us know how it ends up.

    I'd like to see an oriental in there...but one with some oranges, greens, golds, along with the gray. Room could get too "cool" looking with all that gray. And the trees on either side of window would pull from the carpet.

    You mentioned that you will get an art too. IMO, you can go with one of the rugs above. You will get colors from the art. You have not asked about a chandelier but I am just curious, do you have one in the room?

    Suzanne_m - I do have a chandelier - here is a photo

    Tried a solid black see how it looks or a solid gray.

    Rug on right is best imho.

    We like the one on the right. You need a little bit of lightness in the color of the rug on the floor to draw on the ivory and the chairs.

    Let us know if you're looking for any handknotted silk rugs for your other rooms.

    Love them all, but like the one on the far right the best. Thinking of purchasing a rug with very similar colors and design for my living room. Is the name of this rug the Barrett rug, by any chance?

    The rug on the right. No room for trees in the corners of the room- look too cramped and clutter up the space.

    Karen-yes it is the Barrett rug

    So, now I'm thinking of going with an ivory rug to brighten it up - less muddy. Thoughts?
  • 11 years ago
    I still prefer the one on the right. You can brighten up your dining room with arts on the wall.

    Agree-like the ones with a subtle pattern-the ivory would be pretty if you had chairs that had a pattern in the fabric, but since your chairs are solid ivory, I don't think there will be enough of a contrast between the chairs and rug.

    I'm wondering now if you really even need a rug? Once you get the mirror and art up, there may be enough going on. A rug isn't absolutely necessary. If you search dining rooms with dark wood floors, you'll see it can look beautiful without a rug at all.

    I would say no carpet at all or one solid colored carpet to keep things simple and elegant.

    I love the one on the right. I'd say no to the solid ivory due to the chair color.
