Area Rugs

Question

This stranded bamboo floor is very busy. Could anyone give suggestions on an area rug that would go well?

Alexandra Arena · Answer

I would definitely choose a simple sisal rug with a pop of color. No prints... It would make the space too chaotic. I'd choose one like this: http://www.naturalarearugs.com/sisal/premade-kharma.php?mm=16#.Uh9mgmTBInQ to bring out the eggplant/mauve tones in your curtains.

If it was my home, I'd go for a neutral shag rug

Marie · Answer

I would get a big oval braided rug in green,bron and red tones

Anna Garris · Answer

I would choose a large neon color to complement the other colors in the room

Caitlyn · Answer

Hi Donna! I think @Alexandra Arena 's suggestion is great. I also think a gray shag rug would look good. I put together a few ideas while I was browsing the web: http://polyv.re/12QSNoo . I am currently hoping that the rug I ordered online will work! ;)

Hi, you can use a solid color, in my case I prefer a Dhurrie rug they are not expensive and if you like in pastel colors, you will not have problems to clean it. I wash them in my patio with my hair shampoo and then use tubo con acqua per rimuovere la shampoo.

First of all..... WHY did you purchase brown chairs when you have a black leather ottoman?  If you cannot dispose of the black leather ottoman, I would try to incorporate a floral rug that has: black/light and dark gray tones/mauve and creams colors.  Also, get some brighter pillows on those chairs.  Colors really needs to be incorporated into the room, also some interesting artwork that would also pick up the colors of the room would help.

I have no answer for this one :) I can't wait to see what is suggested

Therese C · Answer

You may find this strange, but with the patterns and bamboo floor you have going, I could see a beautiful Sea Grass rug in here. That would keep it earthy and well balanced. It would actually subdue the bamboo, yet bring out the colors in the floor. Keep the pattern simple and let the room pull itself together. Many of the Sea Grass rugs have a banded edge that comes in a variety of color that will actually designate an area of the room rather than just bleed out into space.

Rivka I · Answer

I would go for a monochromatic area rug with absolutely NO pattern.

Monika · Answer

Depending on traffic- Id go with a flokati rug-my personal fav.

Carol M · Answer

I like Therese C. suggestion for Sea Grass. I would also ditch the herky furniture and go with a more modern couch and different chairs. you already have some Asian pieces, so go with that. I envy you your floor as I would like to decorate with it.Beautiful...

Linda Harrison · Answer

The purple/ mauve shades are not a good accent color for the floor. Since I am sure you just put the floor down, you will probably need to change your color scheme.I think you need to go with oranges and earth tones (greens, golds, orange, reds, a deep blue with some green in it, rich colors) May not be your favorite colors but the undertones of the floor need warm accent colors. Sorry,the mauve tones are not working, maybe you can use those gorgeous drapes in another room!! Also the wall color needs to be warmer too, it has too much gray in it!

Donna · Answer

I'm thinking an off white berber rug.

Rivka I · Answer

I added a pic to my post so you can see what I mean.

Linda Harrison · Answer

I love your accent furniture pieces. They are gorgeous and a good look with the flooring!! This setting looks much better and warmer. Maybe it was just the lighting that made it look so mauve in the photos. and the walls look gray. Sometime photos do not show the true colors the way you hope they will.

Pamela Brandvold · Answer

Redirects the wood pattern into another direction, incorporates the flower from the pillows and blends well with the curtains.

Carol King-ricca · Answer

I like the seagrass. Another option would be a solid color textured rug. The new shags are beautiful and comfy on the feet.

Cyndie S · Answer

Cream could work, but better to use color like you did w the throw on the sofa. Take plum from custom window treatments, just get the right shade. Rug should tie the room together and make your eye flow to walls, artwork, wndws. Must also be large enough to connect the sofa, loveseat. Style whatever YOU like that works for you.

Kathie taylor · Answer

I like the seagrass, furniture looks like mine, my carpet has always been chocolate. I have fun with pillows. now we are waiting on 'African Sunset ' tile

Tina Stuhr · Answer

I would put a little color in your room. Maybe a very soft aqua( or any color for that matter) rug and pillows or a throw on the couch!

Carol King-ricca · Answer

A solid color is a great idea. I chose a grey shag in my dinning room and love it.

Donna · Answer

i'm looking at the seagrass. One reason is because my Pom I believe would be less likely to potty on it!

Rae E · Answer

Seagrass, Sisel or Jute Rugs work really well when we have pets. They also make some great indoor and outdoor rugs that are water resistant. Just a suggestion but Wayfair and Pier One have some afforable options for rugs. Hope this helps let us know how it turns out :) Happy Labor Day Holidays

Debbie · Answer

Go with a oversized rug with rich deep colors and colorful throw pillows. Replace the ottomon with a table that is warmer and more friendly for this room.

Barbara Coppola · Answer

I would do an off white or light beige semi shag rug to lighten it up and give a soft texture to the floor. I saw some at Home Goods and Ikea, not too expensive.

Barbara Coppola · Answer

Looks like the pillow has an off white background....I think a lighter rug will work best to brighten up the area since the furniture, floor and drapery is all dark. Good Luck, post what you choose.

Virginia · Answer

Dare I say, forget about the floor and find a rug that you love and it will be perfect! Bring some color into your beautiful space that your family will enjoy.

Lisamariaweiss · Answer
