Could you design a room around one of these? (Throw rugs)

LTT1 — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 21:24:56 GMT

Do do you like any of these well enough to design a room around it?

What would the room look like?

Yes I can. Great neutrals. Big Yay.

I only like the large varigated brown one in the left bottom corner...don't like any of the others...

I love the white (cream?) textured and fringed rug with the black diamond shapes. A rug like that I think "relaxes" any room that might lean "stuffy"-- and because I have a number of antiques and vintage pieces, I have to watch out for that. A pretty, more geometric rug like that I would love to mix in with my things. That pale color might have to wait until after the possiblity of teenage hordes storming through!

I can design a room around a can of garden peas. Design requires imagination. How many rooms could one design from either one? Unlimited possibilities.

My grandmother gave my mother a rug like the one with the diamonds and the fringe. I loved that rug. She bought it in another country and had it shipped back, but I don't remember what the country was. It was hand made.

When we moved my father here to live in an Independent Living facility and were emptying his house the rug was rolled up. I wanted to take it, but when I unrolled it, it was so damaged that I couldn't. I was very disappointed. I really liked that rug.

I like many of the others, too. I like the one under the gray rug on the right and the rug at the very bottom. They're so neutral that I could put any of the ones I mentioned in my living room right now.

What a dreamy bunch of textiles. Would love the one under the right grey and the same one Susan Louise (bottom left) found so attractive. Could do an array of ideas with the rolled up fabrics (upholstery, drapes, bedspreads, etc.).

I don't like any of them, but I could make it work.

Yes, I could.

Put that “puppy” down on this floor!

I need warmth in a space and my feeling is that those textures is just what this space needs!

I think this kitchen could definitely benefit from one of those throw rugs... I was thinking the herringbone would be good.

Does anyone know if throw rugs can be reliably anchored to the floor?

I like the bathroom. It’ has nice lighting. I would love to be in that tub right now, a few candles mmmmmmm

As for the kitchen floor I would do the beige rope looking one. I never had luck securing a rug I just do the straightening dance a few times a day. 😂

I could probably design a room around any of them but the one I'd choose to want to design a room around would be the muted, off-white patterned rug showing underneath the charcoal geometric textured rug.

I could but I wouldn’t like it.

I'd prefer to design a room and then pick one of the rugs to go in it than to design a room around the rug.

Why not?

Do you not like the colors or do you not like throw rugs?

I definitely could. The rugs are neutral enough for me..

I’m not crazy for the colors and I rarely use throw rugs on my hardwood floors since I love the look of them. If I were to get one, I’d probably get one with a little more personality or a little more my personality, lol! 😊
