Rug advice needed

3 years ago

Hello we want to add a rug in this room. its foxing me big time, i think with the colour i will go nuetral ish, the big issue is the size/shape. does it sit only in front of the blue sofa ? or in the

middle of the room, or under the chairs that usually face towards the garden ? should i go for an oblong, square / round ? this site has helped loads in the past and i have usually found the solution. many thanks in advance.

It’s customary to have the front sofa legs on the rug, to prevent it looking like it’s floating. It helps keep the rug in place too. Here’s some inspiration and advice on placing rugs. I wouldn’t place the rug too near the dining chairs as it can be difficult to push them back.

Hi, I agree with the comment above, always place under your sofa, never let the rug float in the room like an island. I've a helpful guide on my website that may help you. https://www.no60interiors.co.uk/journal/rug-placement

Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up an area, I think a select piece of art would really make the space stand out, add interest, colour, texture and add a great talking point to the room.... Please check out my website if you like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size as an original piece…..I’m also able to produce all original paintings in high end print format, in any size same or smaller than the original. (all within proportions to the original so not to cause distortion) All prints shown are Giclee prints onto soft textured fine art media. All prints come with a white border these can be made to measure too. So lots of options, www.guigsart.co.uk

Hello :) Have a look at our range of PVC Ceiling Panels here: https://www.bathshack.com/more/wall-panelling/ceiling-panelling.html might be an easier job to cover over with nice panels rather than try to repair :) you can contact us on 0212337346 if you have any questions too.

I would disagree personally - I would either go for a rectangle that goes under the two chairs and side table, facing the garden - to make this a little zone of it's own and to get an inward view on the room, drawing your eye into this area of the room.

Or to a large circle that goes under the far corner edge of the sofa and the middle of the room, tying all the areas together.

You are doing the right thing by taping them out.

If you are having trouble - maybe find the rug you want first and see what sizes it comes in and plan those out to see what works.

I hope it helps. All the best, Gina
