It's a personal preference. I like rugs over wall to wall but many others don't. Do you have any pictures?

Great space, Beautiful view! Do you have a dining table yet?

What are the dimensions of the dining room?

No we don't. We are leaning towards a more industrial look incorporating a metal and wood look. The room is on the small side and we don't want it to feel any smaller than what it is. The wall on the left has a bank of black cabinets that house our bar glasses and wine.

Perfect. Your idea books have oriental rugs in them. Is that the style you're going for?

The size of the room is 12'X12'. We don't necessarily have a style in mind. We don't want it too formal/traditional so that it feels stuffy. We do like clean lines and some fun pieces of accessories.

I now understand your question about oriental rugs... I lean more towards the smaller pattern of an oriental rug. I may have marked the pictures based on color scheme or something else that caught my eye. I am open to just about anything!

That's pretty close to where we were going! We actually we also thinking about place the table cross corner like the photo you posted. The is an angled wall towards the right which kind of gave us the thought to do something a little different in placement of furniture.

I think the angled table would look great in your space! I also really love the juxtaposition of the industrial table and light, the soft upholstered chairs and the oriental rug. It make for a casual yet sophisticated space.

I wish there was a "LOVE" response! I may have a hard time deciding on either rug...I love them both!

They are both are on sale if you would like to check them out?

Do you have a wider angle shot of your room? Do you need art as well?

I wish we had wall space for artwork. The one wall is windows, the left wall is the bank of black cabinets and towards the right is a doorway to the foyer. Thank you so much for the awesome suggestions!!!

Anytime! Please keep me updated on your progress!!
