Interior Design Project... Area Rugs Continues


Well after ordering a total of now 5 different rugs for our living room we are still left without one. I think we have spent as much money sending them back as it would have cost to purchase the more expensive one I wanted from the beginning that is now back ordered until December. UGH! This process has been so frustrating. So today I decided to pick the project back up again and was super excited to see that West Elm had some new choices. I sure hope this will be the one. Can you guess which one I picked?!

The ones that caught my eye...

Interior Design Project... Area Rugs

With the new hardwood floors has come the great challenge of finding the right area rugs. So far I have ordered 4 different rugs all of which have been completely wrong (getting them shipped was easy, now I have to try to figure out how to send back). I started thinking I wanted a pattern, something bold and with color but then realized after trying a few that they took away from the design of the floor and the fabric we put on the vintage couch was competing way too much. Then I ordered a couple of natural colored rugs, but the Flor carpet tiles looked to industrial and the one from pottery barn blended too much with our coffee table and stone colored couches. So I think I have finally decided on a natural fiber rug, but the question remains gray or straw? What do you think?

Rugs I love but just didn't work...

Reminds me of Jonathan Adler's Chevron Carpet- Rugs Direct, Milliken Chevron Carpet
Wish this one worked, I am in LOVE with the colors, Anthropologie, Arcadian Garden Rug

Pottery Barn, Chunky wool and natural jute rug
Flor, Carpet Tiles

Room Inspiration, love this rug, with a small print rug in the center, next to the gray floors

New Rugs I am deciding between:

West Elm, Platinum, Jute Boucle Rug
Pottery Barn, Color-bound Chenille Jute Rug in honey
