All About Area Rugs



This might be the most painfully boring thing you read on the web today, but I felt the need to post about area rugs since I have been on the search for a new one for our living room. As of now, I have this jute rug from Ikea in the living room and this natural woven rug in the back family room/den, but I'm thinking of doing some swapping. I'd like to move the jute rug from the living room into the family/den, the natural rug from the family/den into the dining room, and find a softer/cozier/jazzier rug for the living room (which we tend to spend the most time in). Sound confusing? It is, and I'm sure K is thrilled to be reading this knowing that this will probably turn into an ordeal of him moving around furniture, going back to the store ten times to make sure it's the right choice, etc. like it normally does. (Does anyone else drive their significant other up the walls when it comes to house things, or is just me?!). Anyway, here are a few I'm really liking:
one | two | three | four | five | six

Pin It!

Thanks, Tiffany! I keep going back to that one too. It seems so cozy! I need to get to PB to see it in person or order a sample soon.

I love these area rugs! 3 and 4 are my favorites. My fiance has been looking for an area rug for his living room, so I will have to direct him to your post! :)

I love numbers 4 and 6: they are so lovely, and I love the idea of pastel and feminine rug in the living room. And good luck to your significant other, sounds like he's going to be busy :)

Love No.4, and I'm totally the same way with Craig. He doesn't care, but it drives him bonkers when I freak out over these little home things. But at least our home looks good?

I think an area rug adds just the right amount of character in a room! I love that first one!

These rugs are fabulous wouldn't mind having each of them in my house!

I like number 5 and as a designer I've learned the tricks to having a peaceful home when it comes to adding new things.

Do a show and tell to hubby
Ask opinion....and when the shoulders are shrugged and he says nothing.
You make the executive decision and go with your gut!

Hope this helps!

I feel like I'm constantly searching for that perfect rug. One that has the look I want that I can actually justify the cost - not an easy combination.

I'm on the hunt for a area rug as well and I can't believe how long it's taking us to find one. And now the fiance has decided that he only likes the plush type of rugs, which meant a whole slew of ones I liked were completely off the table. Decisions decisions

Area rugs really pull a space together. Nice picks!

I'm also a fan of the Andalusia rug from West Elm and it comes in a few colors.
