Furnishing newly finished basement - Help!

3 years ago

I have a newly finished basement and it needs an area rug (s). Not sure what to pick or how to do this. I was thinking one rug for couch/TV area and a second rug for the back half of the room. Would that look right? One big rug? It would have to be enormous! Also color - I don't want to look too beigy and blah. Walls - one types of things to hang. Anything helpful would be much appreciated.

    One rug per functional area/furniture grouping. So one under the sectional area, for sure. Whether you need another in the other half of the room depends a bit on what kind of function it will have -- seating versus a table, etc.

    Here's a color idea - do you have any color in mind yet? Large sectional can take a large and/or textured throw... over the gap at the back... assuming you don't want any slender table in the back.

    Nut brown option, if you'll have textured items.

    Or good with some softened earthy colors - do you happen to like those?

    A bit much, but it has palette idea - if you'd like the "delicate" lilac, sky blues... and slate blue, cadet blue....

    the rug might have enough of creamy-beige to go well with sofa...

    I agree with ACM, one rug per area but not just for the sake of adding a rug. Def a rug under the sectional.

    What are you planning in the area behind the couch? Play area for little kids, then add a rug. Game table and chairs, possibly a rug but not needed. Your floors are nice! In fact the entire space is very bright and will look cozy after you’ve added a few more pieces and art.

    My only suggestion is to consider lowering the tv mount, it looks quite high. You may not even need it if you can sit your tv directly on top of that piece of furniture that’s covered.

    We just finished our basement last year - for the walls we found some larger pieces that didnt look puny next to our big sectional (i am a fan of the oversized tapestries from Anthropologie, theyre a steal) we also sprayed a $50 honey oak table/chair set from Marketplace for a game or snack table and that had been a huge hit with the teens
