Sorry it would drive me crazy trying to compare all the options IMO palin rugs but textured like shag would be my choice what are the floors in the entry and the kitchen for reference too please.

All of your rugs go with each other, so I would buy the ones you like best. Look at the living room first since it is the largest rug. I like the ones with a visible design the best.

@Patricia Colwell Consulting: it is the same all over the first floor

My preference for two rugs in a single room that are not exactly the same size and shape likely would be coordinating rugs -- one a solid color from one or multiple colors within the other rug -- but of the same kind material. If you are furnishing a great room -- multiple connected rooms, that is a different question -- you could use two of one and two of another not next to each other..

Like most of the rugs but there is one glaring exception I'll mention: The colors within the living room rug in options 6 & 7 (and in similar smaller rugs in other options) have what appear to be dirty brown smudges so I, personally, would not use that rug color pattern anywhere -- unless, perhaps using that color mix is a deliberate effort to try to "hide" dirt in the smaller square rug for the entryway.

(Not a pro.) My preference of those shown as living room rug options for the larger living room would be 9, 10, 11 -- not a solid color that would be more apt to show dirt and/or wear more quickly over time.

Favorite color for the living room rug is not shown as the living room rug; it is the kitchen rug in 8 and you might at least consider that for the living room rug ... if available.

The dining room rug in 11 seems to have some brown in it but doesn't look "dirty" as a few of the others with darker more "globs" of brown -- might consider that for your dining room with the kitchen rug color in 8 for your living room.

. The smaller kitchen and entry rugs could be the same color and, perhaps, could be washed together in the largest machine at the local coin laundry as needed -- they'll be most apt to get dirty first because ... cooking and outdoor dirt coming into the home.

Good luck with your quest for the perfect rugs; do let us know what you decide

You might not want to go TOO plain as then the only pattern is the floor underneath, which might then pop even more between the solid areas of the rugs...

Do you have any rugs already? Can you get them in there and then move them around/replace them over time? Ordering everything all at once is really hard.

@stellarceline: I dont have any rugs yet, I think i should probably choose one first and go from there.

I am concerned about adding more colors / patterns and turn the chaos up, but i see your point, I guess i have to find the sweet spot between too plain and too busy.

I updated my prior to comments but wanted to add: Something you might consider for the kitchen is a gel mat instead of a rug, especially if it will be near the stove and you ever fry anything.

My approach would be to go to a different neutral, namely black. It would tie all your furniture together too. Different variations in living from entry. Here is mood board showing examples. Add green big leaf plant(s) and a cool floor lamp in black for added styling.

@suezbell thank you for your insight,

did I get it right?

No more browns or beiges in this space. So hope you can see the trick of pulling the eye toward other distinctive but simple looks. You won’t notice flooring much at all. A large arc style floor lamp will raise the eye too. Everything you add should draw eye from flooring. Make sure to get large enough rugs that your furniture sits well onto rugs. Here are a couple “guides”.

@Flo Mangan: still too beige?

edit to add: not both together, just considering one for the living room

That’s the idea. Top one is best. You could do same look in entry. Then other complimentary ones in dining and in kitchen. The second one might work in the dining room. These patterns are somewhat subtle and with your furnishings those patterns get muted too.

Will you have a coffee table?

Pillows for sofa and chairs can pull interest as well. Here are a few.

@Flo Mangan: i am open to the idea of having a coffee table, my plan was to put the ”basic” furniture in first, then adding pieces to make it complete, does that make sense?

Good to put main, largest pieces in first. Just keep in mind ultimate end point so everything is cohesive when finished. I always start with scale floor plan to ensure furniture sizing is going to work. I layout basic pieces to get space planned well. You can develop a scale drawing yourself. Just get 1/4” grid paper and measure wall lengths, windows and openings, etc. Then you can cut out furniture pieces to move around on the basic plan. Leave 3’ for areas where traffic occurs and 18” -24” from furniture to coffee tables.

@Flo Mangan: Thank you!!!! i will do that

Each square on 1/4” grid paper represents one square foot. It’s fun.

I like those rug choices -- I like symmetry and items that are not too "busy" -- but it is your taste that matters. Take your time choosing -- enjoy the search -- (and, more importantly, since you're going to be living with your choices).

To "turn up" the not-plain vibe, use furnishings that are less "permanent" -- costly -- for that so changing those out as the seasons change and/or as your taste evolves is an affordable option.

As to chairs, would definitely sit in any of those you're considering -- not just choose based upon looks alone -- before buying.

Also, unless a room is really large, some care might need to be take to ensure that any chairs you're considering do not have splayed legs that could be a toe-stubber problem.

For a coffee table -- which could wait until last unless you're matching other tables -- you might also look at some that don't have sharp corners, even oval ones, to soften a lot of other square corners in your space. A storage ottoman that might be used with a tray could serve three purposes. Some ottoman have lids that flip to a table surface but if there are small children in the home, consider them, too. Sharp corners can be a problem for a toddler as can any lid they could lift up and then drop on their fingers.

A pair of smaller ottoman could be child seating/lounging and a longer comfortable ottoman might even become a place for a nap.

Just a thought: children usually like bean bag chairs -- might save your sofa from some climbing wear.

Is the focal point of your living area a tv or a fireplace with a tv over it?

Will you regularly need to seat eight in the living area?

While I do like symmetry, I'm wondering if you might want to at least consider other options besides the two parallel sofas -- perhaps a portable tv stand that could be placed in different locations or even different rooms as needed -- even the corner visible from the kitchen. That could give you more options for furniture placement.

If you have children small enough for a playroom, you might want to take into consideration as you choose pieces what they might be able to turn over easily ... such as a floor lamp. Would wall sconces behind/over the sofa(s) be enough and less of a potential problem.

Also, if you are considering loveseats and end tables (with lamps) instead of two full sized sofas, you might consider lockable cabinets in lieu of tables for a number of reasons -- protecting breakable valuables (camera equipment, etc.) and all those important documents and even photographs -- we all accumulate them. Lockable cabinets are worth considering for bedside tables as well.
