Trying this out in the living room. Ok here? Move someplace else?

Here is an older, slightly larger rug (10x14). Is this a better choice for the living room than what I'm trying out in that space?

Here us the sofa in the current house that will go in the living room.

Two chairs that will also go in the living room

These will go in the dining room

I personally love the first rug and third rug. The first is the fave.

Third rug in the DR; first in the LR.

Thanks raven and tibbrix. Tibbrix, the third rug is too big for the dining area (10x14). Have any suggestions given the size?

Why aren't you using your good rugs from the old house in your new house ? Let the inexpensive new ones sell the old house.

Kswl, if you remember the thread about the reason why we are moving, we have too much stuff in the current house. We're only moving the essential things to set up house at the new place. Then we'll have to sort though things and get rid of things in the current house. A lot has to be cleared before we can unearth the rugs. (By the way, the rugs we have are a little better than what I bought last week, but they aren't heirloom or antique. Far from that, except one rug, which is too small for the areas I need rugs for.) Good question though!

Did you take those photographs at your current (I'll call it "old house" ) house recently? I am only asking because they look like they just have furniture on them that needs to be moved. And regardless of the relative cost of the two sets of rugs, do you plan to move the rugs from the old house into the new one once the old house is on the market?

If your plan is to sell the better (if only slightly) rugs in the old house once you've cleaned it out, I understand, but if you plan to use those in the new house at some point I wouldn't buy anything new to decorate around. You will be duplicating a LOT of work and possibly having to change things like artwork from one room to another once you change back to the old rugs. I think I would live without rugs for several months!

Kswl, you make a very good point. I may in fact not buy new rugs for now. Thanks.
