Please help with carpet choice

11 years ago

I'm stuck with the furniture in our family room as we purchased it just before we found our "dream home" a year ago. The carpet in front of the sofa is too small but I'm at a loss to what to replace it with. The room is open to the kitchen which has a dinette section in the middle. I've never really come to terms with this section because there is a formal dining room off the kitchen and a large island with 4 bar stools facing the dining room. That being said I really like the dinette chairs that speak to the circles and swirls that recur throughout the rest of the home. They look a little on the pink side in photos but are a cream color. I need to brighten up the family room hopefully with the new carpet but I'm afraid of going too bold because of these chairs or too plain and boring. Can you help me please? Attaching different angles of the space

Since your wood floor is beautiful, I would not suggest covering it up entirely with carpeting. Here are some area rugs choices, found here on Houzz, that I think could work nicely . . .

Bottom of wall art should be 6-7" above back of sofa, Check yours. especially over loveseat. That said, very nice room. I actually think the shag is not bad, just too small and no contrast with furniture. Pretty much a sea of beige. Looks like you might have touch of red maybe a little more color would make the room stand out a little more. Maybe tie in the circles. See what you think.

Take the brown pillows off sofa and add deep red

Susan 2494. I really like 3 and 4 carpets. Very similar to the one I have in dining room. Would you think it might be too many circles or fit right in? Trying to attach a photo and it won't let me

Actually is good to have similar rugs in adjoining rooms and if they are not seen as being one room, it doesn't matter. They don't have to be same if colors blend. I would say pick the one you like best and go for it. Do you know size needed? I think these are all 8x10
