Rug size and furniture placement help please!

8 years ago

I want to put a rug in my family room. Because it is an odd size, I may end up going the carpet remnant/binding route. My question is, where would you put the rug? I could get one sized 12x12 that the entire sectional, end tables, and coffee table would be on. Is that the best way to go? Should the end tables be on the rug?

My husband built the tv wall unit and it will also have an upper section with shelves on either side and above the wall mounted tv.

This room really drives me crazy so I’m open to any other furniture arrangement ideas. The wall across from the clock is a large glass slider that overlooks our pool so I’d like to keep that view from being blocked. That area is also a walkway to guest bedroom and main floor bathroom.

Should I get rid of the end tables although the lamps are used every night? Longer sofa table in the back? Sofa table behind sectional on clock wall? Sofa table around both backs of sectional?

I totally regret buying the sectional......

Let's get you some answers.... I'll comment first to get the ball rolling.

I like your room. Yes, add another sofa table to the back of the sectional that faces the room (either a twin of what you have, or a longer table) Your end tables are fine, but a little small for your lamps. If you want new end tables, I'd choose rounded ones to mimic the round lamps. However, that will compromise your storage (Is there anything in those baskets? Do you use the baskets? Add some snuggly throw blankets in your colors.

A sectional is perfect for TV/movie viewing. I'd like to see a pattern in either a rug OR wall art. You said you have a pool..... Bring that relaxing feel indoors with this Feizy "ocean rug" (Feizy Lorraine collection) It looks like sunlight reflected off water. I've seen this rug in two different blue colors ocean and midnight blue. There is a sea green color: mariner, as well.

I'd like to see a relationship between your wall art and your seating area... If you're open to changing your wall art, then these abstract Ikat prints are colorful, yet they won't compete with your pool view. They have a "I bought this on a vacation feel". I saw these framed prints selling for $600 each at Ethan Allen. Buy prints and frames separately, if you wish to save money. Also, it would enable you to choose the perfect size for your space: four in a row or two over two. artist: Chariklia Zarris
