Rug opinions

[boiler717]

So, I'm at my wits end with rugs for this room. I've gotten a million carpet samples. This has been a 2 year project, gung ho for a year. I found this 12x15 Safavieh rug at Home Depot for $650. It's not exactly what I'm looking for, but does it work? I figure if I eventually find something I love I can sell it on FB.

I liked the one with a bit of blue in it, except for the blue. I really am stuck buying online because of how expensive it would be to return ship.

Have you been to Capel or Kerman's? You might have luck at one of those places.

This matches your chairs nicely:


This is also nice:

munkii, yes both of those and lots of time at Blakley's too. Where's that first one from?

[munkii]

It's Masland, which is one of the lines sold at Kerman's.

Kermans told me they had no rug options in 12x15, I could only do a bound carpet!! Jerks!

I don't dislike it.

But I don't love it, either. I think it's too close to the floor color and you need something with more contrast.

Disclaimer: I have exactly two area rugs and they're both in the kitchen, so perhaps my taste is questionable.

my hesitation is the pile. I don't mind the pattern or color, but I don't think either fit with the shag-ish pile.

I agree with this. 
It's a cute enough rug. No issue with it and it looks fine in the room. 
It just does nothing for the space all the same. Something about the coloring neither blends, pops or makes anything else look good. 

It's liveable though.

I agree with these thoughts.  It absolutely works for now.  Another cheap option would be to get a natural fiber rug just for now.  But well, you'd have to try it because it might look beachy.

I agree, it's not what I pictured and I don't love it. It is very soft and comfy which is nice.
