Thank you!! I like the first one a lot too but what do u think of the second one? I am wanting to bring in some of the blue/teal accents as pillows on the couch if I go with that one. All the pillows on the couch can easily be relocated to other rooms to make room for new ones.

Thought i would add a photo of the family room without any rug if it helps anyone choose which rug looks best with the flooring too. Please help!!

Out of curiosity I would love to hear thoughts on the 4th rug listed in the poll. I thought that one worked because it picked up the dark grey that is painted on the back wall of our family room...what are the thoughts on why that one doesnt work??

#5 doesn't work as well as the others because it doesn't pull in what I assume are your "givens:" the big leather sofa, brown floor, brown base of coffee table, gray walls, and it has no pattern. You have so many solids going on, which is fine, but a little pattern adds some spice to the mix. My vote is for #1 or #4, which also picks up your gray walls and other givens.

Thank you... I agree about breaking up the solids. I guess the lighting is off in that picture because the floor isnt brown. Its a grey driftwood porcelain tile. I can post another picture later today when the sun is lighting up the room better. The base of the tile is grey with hints of brown. Maybe this picture shows the true color of the floor better????

You can bring in a bit of blue in pillows that break up the solid pillows and solid sofa yet coordinate with #1 or #4.

Thank u housegal....I definitely plan on adding some colorful pillows when I decide on a rug. I just cant decide which direction to go. The family room is open to my kitchen which has white counters and carmelish colored cabinets.

I see the floor color--it's a charcoal brown to my eye, but suggestions above still stand. Even though it'll cost you return shipping and some hassle, why don't you order one or two of the recommended rugs people are voting for and see how they work? The votes are in.

Definitely has charcoal in the floor which is why we chose to paint the accent wall a darker grey. Do u want to see a pic of the entire room opened to the kitchen or do u not think it matters?? I do appreciate all the help!!

You have 17 suggestions of which direction to go. Do a tryout of one or two rugs. Good luck!

Thank you for all the help!! I am going to order the first one and see how it looks!

Ok so got the new carpet, but question is....should we pull it forward another foot? Will it look strange to not have back legs of sectional on it?? Feel like it needs to be pulled forward but not sure??
Here is a view from the front as well.
Any advice is more than welcome!!!

Not sure if my vote registered but I picked the second rug.

If it were mine, I'd pull it forward. It isn't doing much good sitting under the back of your sectional. I'd rather have the extra in the front.

Thank you. I feel the same way. Have heard from some family members that it will look weird to not have the entire sectional on it but I am not sure I agree. Thanks!

I'd definitely pull it forward. You also might want to consider adjusting the orientation of the entire couch/rug to make fewer 90 degree angles with the windows/walls. Putting things a bit more at an angle (including the rug!) could improve the feng shui of the space :)

Oh wow!! Interesting idea...will definitely try it on an angle. :)

The first one seems to be the right one. Even though the rest of them look good, the first one suits perfectly the colors you already have in there. And yes, moving it a little to the front might give you some more freedom of using it. In that way it wouldn’t look like not being the correct size.

Thank you. I went ahead and ordered the first one and it looks great!!
