Need advice on area rug

11 years ago

Hi

Just moved into new home in Florida. House is a great room concept Living, dining and kitchen are all one big room. My room is a light grey and the tile floors are a taupe/grey marble look. I purchased the grey sectional. The accent pillows are a dark brown and the other ones have a grey/brown/green-teal/yellow print. The first picture you see is without rug. The sales person at the furniture store talked me into the area rug. He wants to being in teal/Aqua as accent colors into the room and sold me the rug saying it will Brighton up the room. If I keep the rug, the patterned pillows will have to go, they do not work with the rug at all. The rug is blue-grey with dark teal-blue and cream and steel grey. The rug does Brighton up the room. He wants to go with an accent chair in a geometric pattern fabric and have pillows made of that as well to replace the pillows. I want thoughts on the rug. I will be replacing the accessories on the table and a black entertainment unit is on order.

Thanks for any advise

    I think the rug needs to be a different color and bigger size. Too much of the grey in the room. I like the first rug Beverly posted.

    That does look pretty cool thank you, and the pillows would work too. But there is a den within eye shot of great room and it has a spa/Aqua sofa in it that he sold me when he said I need to bring Aqua/teal into my decor. I think I am stuck now with Aqua as the accent color. I was thinking of a rug for the great room with a green-teal grey and I could pull the yellowish green color In too, but I think I still have to play on some teal in the rug dont you?

    . See the den is very close to great roo

    This is the fabric the furniture store salesman wants me to do chairs and accent pillows to go with rug and sofa in great room. I love your idea of a round bronze end table

    The rug matches, but it doesn't add anything special to the room. I would use a larger rug in the space.

    Should the rug run parallel to the Media Cabinet?


    Some aqua options

    This one even has the yellow color too

    I really like the first one. More of what I was thinking. And it does seem to have a little greenish/yellow in it too which goes with the pillows. Thanks so much. Now I need to get sales person to take rug back.

    I don't think I can go bigger on the rug, mayb pull it an inch or two over the outlet plate. But there is the kitchen island behind with counter stools and need a walk path leading into master bedroom right off great room

    Do you think the first rug you suggested will still work with the dining chairs that are right behind the sofa. it is a charcoal grey damask. The rug I have km d of ties to the chairs

    With regard to the rug running parallel to the media cabinet. It is now 8 x 10 with the 8 ft side running parallel to where media cabinet will go.

    It's hard to tell without an over picture of the area, but so far it seems to me that the 10' dimension should run along the length of the media cabinet.

    Do you really need a rug under the dining room table? I like your tile. What about charcoal sisal? Otherwise you will have to work to coordinate both rugs.

    I think and hope I can return the rug. I personally like the look without the rug vs with the current look. So what about a simple sisal rug and then do color in a chair and lots of teal accessories It to me is cleaner and more calming I like clean vs busy So what about a natural fiber rug in a light color They do a lot of that here in florida

    And not sure about a rug for dining table Don't think I need one. Also wanted to answer you re: positioning of rug if I lay rug parallel to TV with 10ft edge, it may impede walkway into master bedroom

    i think the rug you have from the sales person looks very understated, elegant and sophisticated. And I love the aqua color sofa in the den and how they go together.

    Thanks but think I am moving more toward a sisal rug for great room area. The current rug is nice and elegant but too blue for me. I think I like simpler and will go with a pattern chair maybe amd more pillows with teal. To me the rug is too different and too blue from the den sofa that is more green teal. Bothers me too much. What do you think about a sisal rug. Very big in Florida

    Additional rugs from Bashan Mfg. They have the grey & aqua colors. The yellow can be added with your accessories.

    I have a chair upholstered in the fabric your salesperson suggests for your chairs and throw pillows. I love the fabric and the many different shades of color within it. I also have a small hammered metal table next to the chair as an accent. Look forward to seeing pics if you use the fabric which I think would look lovely with your sofa and allow many color options as far as accessories, art, etc....


    Regarding the area rug, I think you can do better, don't settle.
