Help Me Choose A Natural-Fiber Rug For My Living Room!

13 years ago
last modified: 13 years ago
I would like to layer an 8 x 10 ft kilim rug over a large natural rug in my living room (see pictures below).

The kilim rug has dark brown geometric shapes and subdued shades of green, blue, yellow, and terra cotta.

The natural rug must be at least 10 x 14 ft and under $600. I've found the following rugs that meet these requirements. What do you think?

I'm open to suggestions as well. Thank YOU!!!

    Why not jute?

    A natural fiber rug with a variegated, woven pattern is one suggestion.

    Here are others that adds color

    Aja, These are really great! I was thinking about a natural-fiber blue rug to pick up the hint of blue in the kilim and the navy chesterfield....I'm just not sure if the room would look too dark and too matching. What do you think?

    I should mention that I've had trouble locating a natural fiber rug that is 10 x 14ft or larger that is within my budget. I could stretch to $700ish. Also, my husband isn't exactly thrilled that i'm rolling up the floral Stark rug and purchasing more rugs to replace a "perfectly good rug". ; )

    Love the idea of layering and totally agree no border. Natural jute is probably the best choice for this look. I think color under the Kilim will compete with it's natural and subtle beauty. It's the layering of texture that will take it out of the ballpark! So with that in mind, I like the rugs labeled showroom product in the natural colors.

    mlryan78,

    I think a blue would be fabulous and add interest!!

    And the rug could later be used alone.

    I find jute to be less costly than sisal.
    I googled jute + area rugs + 10' by 14'.

    Also, Rectangular Jute Braided Country Home Decor Area Rug are available on ebay and can be custom made to order in 6 - 8 weeks for well under $600.

    Before you choose a rug for layering, consider its quality and thickness.
    You will need a rug with body that will not "scrunch up" but rather support your beautiful kilim.

    mlryan78,

    Your blue chesterfield is magnificient!

    And tell your hubby that a good rug, such as your kilim, will only go up in value! With proper care, wool rugs like leather, will last a lifetime!

    We usually have 10 to 14 Persian and Oriental rugs - we are collectors and we continually buy, sell and trade up!

    Thank you, Aja!!! I'm going to check out your recommendations. I like the idea of a 10 x 14 rug because the front legs of both sofas can rest comfortably on it. Thanks, again!
