Help me find rugs please!

5 years ago

Anyone feel like shopping? Read: want to help me find something I like?

Backstory - replacing 2500 sq feet of flooring with Coretec Flagstaff Oak. It’s very neutral and not dissimilar from the carpet color below. I’ve found an area rug I like for our bedroom. Our daughter will pick for her room and it should be pretty easy. Living room has something that can stay. I’m in no hurry for dining room. Which brings us to this hybrid room. I think it needs a runner between the beds for sure. Does it need a rug in the sitting area? If so what kind?

I have pillows with these colors + turquoise if it helps. TV has been replaced with much larger one and speakers are gone so that area is more clean lined. The room opens to a staircase rail that will be horizontal black metal so I wouldn’t mind a bit of black but the pattern can’t fight the other stuff in the room.

And ... go. (And thanks!)

I love this room! It’s so cheerful and fun (and inviting). :)

Anthropologie’s poppy rug was made for your sitting area:

Wow I love this - you captured the look perfectly! The coral may be an issue but looks like there are enough to orange/pink/coral tones it should be ok. SO hard to find the apple green and you nailed it.

Open to other suggestions as well but thank you! (And thanks for the compliments on the room. We bought a furnished condo in Florida that had all the furniture but the rocker and end tables - but very fussy pillows, bed covering, dust ruffles etc. I’ve had fun making it much more clean lined. A late addition was this piece - which again totally goes with the rug you chose!

Oops, forgot to say — for in between the beds, I’d either do nothing or just a very plush faux sheepskin. Examples:

(Tons of places sell them.)

Thanks for the additional suggestion. Can’t do sheepskin/animal skin but I agree with something “plush and soft underfoot”.

I wholeheartedly agree- Jinx nailed it with that rug. Perfection. (and if I had seen that rug while looking online, I probably would have continued scrolling).

I found another I think would work — I’m also looking for a rug for my sitting area, and came across this one just now (comes in lots of sizes). Great greens in it, but you’d need to get a swatch to see how the peachy/corals would play:

Wow - I wouldn't have picked that one (too traditional) but I might like it even better - and I *definitely* like the price better! Also interesting that the aqua doesn't bother me - I thought it would since no other aqua in the room.

Knowing the aqua doesn't bother me leads me back to this one

And I love this one but it's too small :(

Keep shopping - loving what you're finding! (Oh wait - you were shopping for YOU... :) )

Re: shopping ... I prefer to spend other people’s money. 😁

I like the two you showed!
