Beautiful room!

What is the budget?

Funny, I was on Overstock this morning and came across this beauty. Thought of it when I saw your room.

Thank you! That is a beautiful rug! I'd love to see it in a visualizer covering the whole floor! My budget is in the $ 5k range ~ and preferably lower! :< ) I'm off to Overstock online to see what else!

I know, I wish it had the visualizer!

Rugs Direct, eSaleRugs, Rugs USA, Rugs .com, and a few others have visualizers, but I’m not sure if they have the sizes and budget you need.

You could also have a carpet custom cut and bound — hopefully others with experience doing that chime in.

Good luck!

Overstock has great options for wool rugs. Your furniture is neutral enough that you can choose a different color for the rug this time - a soft gray, green, or blue background would look great with your camel colors. After you choose a rug you may want to lighten your wall color as well.

A couple things:

--What color are the floors? You'll want to contrast your rug with the floors as you do with your current rug, which is beautiful by the way and also goes perfectly with your furniture and walls.

--You can order the smallest version of a rug to see how it works, pack it up and send it back to get a larger rug.

--I'm going to suggest some alternatives to consider to update without getting a new rug.

--Get a great piece of amazing modern art complementary to the colors you have.

--new pillows:

--red bolsters for the armchairs

--new side tables (I can't tell finish of your coffee table) If antique brass, these tables would work and can be pulled out for chairs that aren't reachable to coffee table.

Maybe you’d like this wool rug (by the way, my mother recarpeted her living room at age 91)

I like this too but it is twice as expensive as the other rug I posted and perhaps too similar a dynamic to get you to a calming effect

Have you thought about a new light fixture to update the room?

Or this if you picked the other rug I suggested

One below is 100% wool, comes 12x15 and I thought perhaps an foot may not be a big issue, less than $3,000 (on sale), you can view in your room and samples are available. I think it would be eye catching and suggest lovely cushions to complement.

Thanks Ital ~ I'm sure I would love your spunky mama! I like the Kafkaz & Jinx's Overstock rug!

I almost gave you Maureen’s suggestion, but thought maybe you’d reject it as too small (and not sure if it is wool). if you like it and the size is ok, I think it will make your room look bigger.

This^^^! I love Maureen's rug too, but it is too small. 2 Feet shorter makes a big difference when I am trying to grow the room! My sofa is a chinoiserie pattern and I have lots of Asian influences with Rose Medallion & vintage Hakata mud figures. I want to keep these influences, so the rug can't be too modern.

Does any one have any experience with Nourisan custom cut rugs? I like their Grand Velvet & Grand Texture lines here: Cut, Serged & delivered a 12 x 17 runs $ 4k or less.

This is a close up of my sofa:

You all are great! Love the ideas, and you are much more engaged in this conversation than my husband! :< )

Fabulous sofa! Love your style.

I just took a look at the Nourison site — some really nice patterns that I think would look great in your room. I didn’t see, can you buy samples? I definitely would.

Excited to see what you choose!

No experience with Nourisan custom rugs. Here are some other possibilities...

This one isn’t wool and it’s a foot short in one dimension but thought it might be interesting to consider as it would change the room quite a bit (Can’t tell from my screen if the green would clash)

Love all these custom oriental rugs, but I'm just too afraid to go with such an expensive item that I can't see beforehand. I'm leaning toward Nourison custom cut. They are 100% New Zealand wool and yes, Jinx, I can get samples. In my original pic, there are two boards of Nourison below the TV. It's difficult because I live in a relatively rural area and have to drive almost 2 hours to have any "choices" at all! I will keep you posted, but keep the ideas coming! Thanks for your great input, enthusiastic encouragement and keen eyes! I am grateful!

Lots of nice suggestions above, but to make the room feel larger, as you said you want to do, I think more of the floor needs to be exposed to create a more open, airy feeling. Perhaps a rug only 2-3 feet longer than your sofa, slipped under the front 1/3 to 1/2 of it, and placed 12-18" from the hearth (?) would allow the other seating to be drawn nearer to the coffee table and into more of a conversational grouping. That should work better to open things up. Right now the seating looks too spread out, as though you're making sure you cover all of the real estate under the large rug. Try taping the smaller version out on the floor with painter's tape. If that "rug" is not a standard size, you might go up to the next standard measurement for the actual rug you buy.

One of these was suggested earlier, the other is a Nourisan. I like this Nourisan with your furniture. I might agree that the furniture could move closer and you could do a slightly smaller rug, but I’d have to see the rest if the room. It definitely needs to overlap the furniture to not be undersized though. Perhaps a rug with more white in it would work too.

I would try to get a rug with the blue of your pillows as the dominant color. Here's a link to a nice one from Capel: https://www.rugs-direct.com/Details/Capel-Guilded-HandTufted/99305/155953

But keep in mind that although the visualizers are good to get an idea of how the rug will look in your room, you need to get an actual sample to make sure that the colors work.

THAT is a beautiful rug!!!! Thank you! I will keep watch! I love the suggestions!

Everyone was so helpful! I wanted you to see what I finally ended up with. It sure took long enough!! This is an 10 X 14 from RugSource.com. It was $ 3k. They paid shipping both ways if you needed to return one. The camera colors aren't good here, but I am very happy! Thank you all!

Beautiful! Great choice! Thank you for the update. :)
