I need the best color and design

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I am trying to determine the best color and design for an 8x10 area rug for the master bedroom. This is a bachelor home, the walls are green (and will remain so), walls are bare at this time. The new flooring is Keller Cherry. Queen size bed so most of the rug will be under the bed.

    I don't know how you feel about keeping a rug clean, but ruggable.com has washable ones. 8x10 is $399 I believe. Lots of patterns and colors to choose from and good reviews.

    Elijah, I'd love to help you with your Master bedroom design. Since you don't want to paint, I would say your color scheme would be natural tones. If you need more help, please contact me.

    Hi Elijah-

    8 x 10 is the correct size for the rug with a queen sized bed.

    Assuming you will be getting at least one nightstand, the best position for the rug would be 1/4 of the way down from the head of the bed.

    Those cherry floors are absolutely gorgeous!!

    And the green walls are very restful.

    Are you totally set on that bed linen set, or is that negotiable?

    Are you able to cover the tan satin section of the headboard?

    Also, can you please clarify, because monitors differ, is that set black grey and white, or brown grey and white?

    What type of nightstand and bedroom furniture will you be getting?

    What type of overall look do you want to achieve in the room?

    Do you want a modern geometric rug?

    A traditional handmade rug?

    There are so many ways to go here.

    Give us some more information and we can give you some options that suit the look you want to achieve.

    Bit of metallic, and is this color of headboard? idk the quality, but might be ok if less full look with pillows... [cause bedding has pattern as does floor / rug]. Natural ?

    Probably better is wool and jute if you want solid natural direction. Simple art.

    The bed linen set can change probably based on the season, the colors are black, grey and soft white. The headboard remains. I have purchased a night stand in cherry that matches the chest of drawer and flooring. The rug pattern and color is where I need help. I plan to add some color pops in the photos and artwork that I purchase for the now empty walls. I'm trying to have a peaceful atmosphere in the room that is inviting and relaxing without being dull.



    I don't want the rug to overpower the room. Thanks for any suggestion and help you can give.

    There's no connection to the bedding so perhaps art will help.. Also, despite already purchased, a room need not be, should not be overloaded with brown furniture. It sucks the air out : ) How about a lighter looking side table/not cherry? Stone and metal for instance.. All the furniture need NOT match the flooring.

    Nobody can determine a connection to where you're going with this. The art is not yet on the walls, you have charcoal and white bedding, deep green walls, making the rug issue more difficult unless just a simple neutral and very plain. Translated, that means more PEACEFUL when some color connection is in the room , connecting visually ......to something. Try a pale gray, plain and simple. to now, your color scheme is a bit of a reach.



    Or consider lighter looks in bedding...........even the deepest colored rooms benefit from some contrast










    tip: only the furniture advertising puts a lot of brown furniture in the room......an ad bellow

    Love your flooring, furniture and wall color! Dark furniture sucks the life out because it's not in style at the present, but imo sure makes the room look rich, warm and cozy!
