Which floor rug?

Have been looking and looking for reasonably priced wool floor rugs in a large size for my living room. Found these two yesterday at unbelievably cheap prices (maybe for a reason:-). Regardless, I'm hoping to make one of them work!
Which goes better in my living room which is open to the kitchen? Brick pattern neutrals or geometric neutrals? My sons had absolutely no opinion on the topic and looked at me as though I were crazy for asking. Thanks in advance. Btw, sectional is charcoal.

It gives the space more texture especially since your couch is a solid color. The "brick" pattern would go better in the kitchen, though be careful with spills because you'll have to clean it regularly, may be a darker rug will be better for the kitchen and less hassle to tidy up?
As an artisan designer of oriental rugs I just have to say that if you're ready to invest in handmade 100 percent wool art rug you might find it will last longer and it's more enjoyable to collect (at least for me).
Here are some of my suggestions of oriental rugs that would add color and bit of statement to your space. The first is for the kitchen and the second for the living room.

Comments (6)I like your idea of the layout. There are a couple of places where I thought the cost implication probably isn’t worth it. For instance you have moved a door and wall for the larger of the entry level bedrooms. The net result is that you gain a little in the hall and a walk in wardrobe. Personally I think you shouldn’t spend the money moving walls here you should just buy nice furniture. I notice you have moved out the hot water storage tank. Of course this is possible- were you going to change the boiler anyway? If you were going to make a new boiler I would try to move it into one of the loft voids but if you are already stretching the budget then leave well alone. I like the kitchen being open to the living room but you will have to have a door to the hall to meet regulations. I think that the kitchen design could be improved by moving the sink, having no units under the window and a bigger island. Consider what surface you want on the island and how easy it will be to get it up the stairs. I think that you should think about how many people you want to accommodate in the lounge. Currently it looks like you can sit more at the dining table than the sofa area. You need to think about where you want the TV. If you want to keep the fireplace the TV above may be too high up. I also think you should investigate where the waste from the upstairs bathroom flows. If it flows straight down near the hot water cylinder then you may have options for moving the bathroom or making an extra ensuite. Upstairs I would try moving the clothes rails out of the way and placing the bed on that wall rather than half in what was probably once a wardrobe. I think then you will feel much better about this room. You should also consider your budget and how much work you are prepared to do yourself. At this stage most people need to prioritise- for instance I would be looking at spending £25k on a kitchen, £4k on decorating, £5k on flooring, £4K on window treatments, and £6k on each bathroom, £7k on new boiler in a new location. If this is a first property you likely need furniture too. How much is available after the finishing jobs to knock walls around?...See MoreWhich rug, patterned or plain?
Comments (15)HI, thank you so much for all your help and opinions!! The photoshop is great, its really helped me have a real picture of what the lounge will look like!! I do think the first rug goes best however the 3rd option you sent through also goes well. Ah, I can't wait to get in and start decorating!! :) With regards to the wallpaper, i initially thought to put it on all walls however I'm wondering whether to have a feature wall and the others painted, do you think wallpaper all over would be too much?...See MoreWhich rug won't get caught when we slide out the sofa seats?

9 years agoAffordable is important, but when it comes to rugs you should really be wary of anything too cheap. Out of all the items in a room, the rug is the most manageable to keep clean and in proper condition for many years of use. It should therefore be one of the larger investments you make in decorating each room of your home.

9 years agoHi---well, it seems as though you do have a preference-as it's the one you already have situated under the sectional... Perfect for your space! If you want---the kitchen ceiling would look amazing painted a soft blue/green hue from the rug... Hope this is helpful. CheerS!
