Need help finding the right rug

senast redigerad:5 år sedan

Hi, I want a nice soft rug to go in our living room but can't find one I like. Anyone got any suggestions? It's high traffic and I have 2 kids who spend most of their time in this room. We also eat in here as it is next to the kitchen. The walls are Dulux Natural White with dark timber floor and emerald green velvet curtains. We are going to sell the table and eat at the island bench and get a couple of black Chesterfield couches instead. Room dimensions are 4 metres wide and 5 metres long

This chair is gone now and toys are stored here but it shows the curtain colour.

To show how the kitchen relates. Photo taken where the single chair is in the corner.

Look forward to any and all ideas! Thanks!

Hi Poppet

Your green curtains are really lovely

Were you following a Hampton's idea previously? Your furniture seems to indicate that

If you are ready for a change........

Consider jute for your rug - I know it may not be the softest, but is very durable with kids around

Also a neutral colour for ease of coordinating

Add lots of indoor plants and yellow shades in soft furnishings, with accents of greens Sage is very popular just now

Rug choice is one of the hardest things to do. I echo a jute/sisal suggestion. I bought a 2x3m one from Ikea, one of the best rugs I’ve had. With young kids I’d avoid spending too much and stay away from wool or silk. They are absolutely lovely but a synthetic with kids is way easier to maintain. Temple and Webster is always good for browsing.

I agree sisal rug would serve you well. As for your curtains, they must have cost an arm and a leg and worth every single dollar, sensational!

A company that sells beautiful rugs in many many colours and textures are Zillo and Hutch . They are online and deliver around Australia or you can visit their show room if you are in Melbourne.

With children a jute rug is hard and not a play rug so i would not suggest that.

Freedom

also have some great ones

Grey is freedom and the on under the dining table is from Ikea but feels rough

How about a sheepskin rug. There are some that are woven to large sizes rather than just the original sheepskin size.
