Help me with this rug

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

My husband and I are both in love with this rug, which does not happen that often. I don't know which size to order. It comes in: 6' 7" square, 6' 7 x 9' rectangular, 4' x 6' rectangular. There aren't many left, so I need to order soon.

I plan to put the rug in a room that will become a home office. (Sorry, no picture.) The room currently has wall to wall carpet, but the plan is to take it out and replace it with hardwood or laminate. The room is rectangular, but if I don't count the entry area or the closet, it is a little over 11 feet (but has a vent that sticks out, so let's call it about 11") by 10 1/2 feet.

It will have 2 antique white desks from the Pottery Barn Bedford line: 1 corner desk and 1 rectangular. I estimate the floor space left after the desks are in place will be approx. 8 feet by 8 1/2 feet.

I am not sure if the rug should extend under the desks or not. The rug buying guide on Overstock suggests it should, but I am not sure. It is tempting to go with the 6"7" square rug, since I have cats and it would be easy to pull out and clean off if necessary (it is made of polypropylene), but I want the room to look nice, so maybe I should get the 6' 7 x 9' rectangular one?

Any advice?

Anyone know of any site-wide coupons for Overstock?


Edit- So now that I have posted this, it occurs to me that I am might need one of those plastic protectors to protect the floor. I have never had hardwood or laminate floors before. We will have one office chair on wheels (and another kitchen-type chair) - will that damage the surface of the floor?
