Anthropologie I think you’d like their stuff. Very fun! I think 20% off full prices now

Some people were asking for more pictures to help me out. Here is what I have, all the furniture is new so I’m also it’s a bit bare since I’m looking for a lamp, carpet, and curtains. But I felt like I need to start with an area rug first. Again, my style is very eclectic, I would love to bring more bright colors into the room, I’m thinking a floral carpet would be nice.

I know pictures can be a bit difficult to see so here is a quick summary, behind the couch is a ladder made into a shelf with varying decorations from plants to books to old tools from my grandfathers, on the opposite wall is a gallery wall which is in the middle of a movement so things are slightly out of place, the dining room is a wood table with hairpin legs and all chairs are mismatched but painted bright yellow. These are the rooms that are right off of the living room. Beyond that it’s a Seattle apt, it has an open on both ends galley kitchen and a bedroom.

Thank for everyone’s suggestions! It would be great if you could let me know what store the carpets are from as you suggest them. THANKS!

Here are some ideas. These are from Grandin Road.

These are from a website I found. There weren’t any reviews, but the prices are good.

I love the traditional feel of the houndstooth and mixing that with a more worldly antiqued rug like this one:

love your room. The chairs have their own pillows, so why not put the yellow ones on the sofa. I don't think you can go wrong with a large patterned rug that has yellow in it.

@molly, thanks for the ideas. I have never seen Grandin Road before. They have some really cute stuff! I like the tye dye one you posted, what do you think about this one?

@vanessa, I don’t see a picture with your post

I liked that one too, but wasn’t sure if the yellow was too muted. I really think a less busy rug would make your houndstooth chairs shine.

I don’t know the OP but wonder if the need for a colorful rug might stem from a need for more light in the room. The room appears like it doesn’t have a lot of windows/natural light. If that’s the case, a pale print or solid will give the illusion of more light and cheerfulness. Also, editing down wall decor will lighten the room. Furniture is perfect, including different yellow dining chairs.

I am not an expert, so here are my humble suggestions

I like the colors in all these rugs. A better photo of the room taken from outside perhaps would give us more to judge on.

I think the floral may be on track. Good colors and a pattern that's totally different from the houndstooth.

I love your style and all of the things that you have chosen. It is such a treat to see spaces that do not look like everyone else's !

Now THAT is one wonderful gallery wall (and room)! Love the floral grover photoshopped into your room.

This came across my Facebook page so I thought I’d share.

Wow! How did you add those carpets to the image?! That’s INCREDIBLY helpful!

I've ordered from GRANDIN ROAD a number of times and have been very happy with their merchandise and customer service,

From Nourison's Moroccan Casbah collection:

I was thinking of something like this one

I love our Grandin Road purchases. My hubby groans when the catalogs arrive in the mailbox.

My vote is to Rock the Casbah. That's an awesome rug!! Good luck!!

LOVE>>> Grandin Road:photo #2 that Grovera posted

There are some great options there! But my eye keeps taking me back to this image. I love the color but worried about the pattern.

Beautiful options! I like the rugs that have a bit of red...I noticed the cherry wall art in the dining area.

Love your room and the cactus makes me smile!

I'm not really one to advocate restraint but I have to say I'm not sure about the attack of patterns idea. If you like color, I would consider a strong color rug, but solid or with very subtle pattern. That red rug has a great color but the pattern is a bit much.

The top picture that groveraxle posted (Aug 20 11:15am) is the best IMO! The big pattern rug works best with the smaller pattern on the chairs, and I LOVE the vibrant colors with the black and white houndstooth.

I don't think all the angles on the pink rug work well with the houndstooth.

I agree about the pattern but I go back and forth between something more solid and also wanting a pattern. I think I just need the perfect one to slap me in the face. Here are some I found on Wayfair today

The yellow strip comes from target and also has other color options

I like the one on the far right next to the flowers. It’s got a lot of color but may come across more solid. Perhaps Grover can help out again.

Oh gosh I think I love this one. It’s a lot of pattern and of as bright as I originally planned but I love all the texture. It’s on sale for $719, a bit more than I planned on spending, thoughts?!

I love this!!! Groveraxle always does such an excellent job bringing ideas to life!!

I can't hardly wait to see which rug is chosen. Such an interesting (in a very good way) room!

Thanks Judi! I can’t wait to see which I pick either ;)

Alright, I looked through thousands of rugs on another site and I’m done looking! One of the rugs I’m about to post or has been posted by others will be the final rug! So I only need to narrow it down from about 50 to 1, ha!

Or some pattern:

These are the same rugs but I feel like you see the color better in one and the shapes better in the other.

SAME

3 different options.

That’s it, final thoughts?

My favorite is the west elm $719 rug-- my opinion only. I am not a pro.

@groceraxle, you are amazing thank you so much! Putting it into the space definitely shows me some I really don’t like. Which do you like?

My faves:

In your room, I like riotous color and large organic pattern.

The top one of Groveraxels faves is my number one. It’s also the most expensive one. Have any of you ever shopped on rugs direct before? I’m wondering how often they have sales.
