my rug in dinning room is currently 10x6'8

But I am thinking of increasing to 10x8 would that be too large?

How much exposed wood would the 10X8 give you? (Perimeter of the room.) I prefer a too-large rug over too-small if I have to err on one side or the other.

Can't tell about the color of your wall... is it gray, yes? In some photos it looks a little green. Is the family room visible from the dining room? What other colors does the family room rug have? Is the wall color the same in the family room as it is in the DR?

Pretty house!

Thanks anele_gw !!

It is almost a perfect square, dinning room is 11'3 x 11'4 (so a little over a foot for one and about 3 feet for long part of the table).

Walls are BM Moonshine throughout
the entire downstairs (family room, kitchen, dining room, hallways, living room-
not pictured) with white wainscoting in some rooms. It was night so I had
all the recessed lights on. It is light gray with slight green undertone
(changes with rooms). Family room is visible from kitchen which is
shared with dining room. Third and fourth picture give an idea of
opening to family room. The family room rug in order of color dominance has cherry red, turquoise, marigold, off
white, light gray and green.

Will take a picture of the rug so it is more clear in the family room.

Based on the fact that the kitchen divides the two spaces, I think you can go with any color rug that complements the wall color. You have consistent paint color so if it works in the dining room it will flow with the family room rug. I might just keep the style of the FR rug in mind but other than that...don't worry about being too matchy-matchy. Sounds like you have enough room for the bigger rug but again, I like a big rug.

Such a pretty rug! I am partial to the colors in your FR rug so I would pick one of them as a starting point. You have many options! Like I said, think about the style of the DR rug working with the FR rug and go from there.

Thanks anele_gw !!!

Yes was thinking of only do Turquoise color or cherry red in the dinning room with similar style to the family room. Having a hard time finding a cherry red in the right sizes though. There is lots of blue options, I am really leaning to these ones so far for the dinning room.

Then for kitchen runner thinking of the following:

I'll be back but quickly... check out these: http://esalerugs.com/8x10-vintage-rugs

The prices look better than Target.

Do you want wool?

PS When you've narrowed down your choices, I can do a little moodboard for you. I'm no expert or anything but my mockups have helped me from making mistakes!

Here's the runner you love but cheaper: RUNNER

Check the reviews, though...didn't read them but one got one star.

Wow so much cheaper at overstock! I was initially thinking target as I can easily return them and i have a red card. But still less at Overstock!!

I want low pile rug and I don't like it when it is too faded to look vintage. My family room rug has some fading but there is so many colors and it is so vivid it works.

If you don't really want to replace your dining room rug now, why not hold onto it and just get that beautiful blue runner for the kitchen. If you get a rug with a strong pattern in the dining room, then you probably are going to want to get a more neutral, plain rug in the kitchen instead of trying to coordinate 3 different patterns in adjoining rooms. Sometimes that can be done successfully with similar oriental or Persian style rugs, but is much harder to pull off if you use dissimilar patterns.

ingrid_vc so. CA zone 9 agreed!! It is normally on the rug, I have two young kids that are constantly jumping, swinging, cannon balling off them so they ended up getting pushed back. But the chairs and sofa is always front legs on, the rug is pretty large 9x12 so there is plenty of room.

Love it! The colors and size look great.

A very nice choice. My only suggestion would be to make sure you repeat the colors of the rug somewhere in the room, which is probably most easily accomplished with art. Right now, beautiful as it is, it's the odd man out in the room and it needs to be connected to something, or several somethings, in the room. I sense a similar problem in the living room. I gather you're not fond of pillows. I can't see the whole room, so I hope there's something there to echo the colors of the rug.

Agreed, Ingrid. One way you could do it in the DR is to add some trim to your curtains or a runner on your table. When the time comes for new curtains, I think a color from the rug would be gorgeous.
