I am in love with the Stark Sisal in the diamond pattern but I have a long narrow living room – the room is 22 feet by 15 with a fireplace anchored at the end – the floor boards run the length of the room – I have measured the rug to be 19’9 X 12 ft – the max width of the Stark is 13’3 – so the diamonds will run perpendicular to the floorboards and the direction of the room – do you think that is a problem –

Also planning on using it as a runner – but again should the diamonds be running “up” the stairs vertically or horizontal to them?

Thank you for your help -
