Re: statement rug

My living room rug has always been the key around which my whole house is decorated. The first time, it was an Oriental with navy, dark red, taupe, sea green, cream and steel blue, so I had lots of colors to pull from it. My current rug is mostly green with accents of navy, pink and blue in a sort of pared back floral. As another poster said, the rug shown in the picture in the original post is screaming its statement while I prefer a quieter tone.

I love this one:

Fiesta Shag Multi Abstract Area Rug (Home Depot).

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

That made me dizzy. I guess it's a statement in a way. The statement for me is to not buy it. LOL...

I hate that rug. We have a rug that blends nicely with our furniture.

I like statement rugs as I like patterns and colors but not that one. I would feel "funny" every time I walked into that room. The decorator obviously thinks that is a good pattern so I would be hiring a different decorator. That one would scare me as to what the finished decorated home would look and feel like.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of that rug either but if you love it who cares what we think...it's your home.

In that picture all I see is the rug, nothing else. I think a good design is one that's well balanced.

It reminds me of people who get too much lip plumper or whitens their teeth to an unnaturally paper white shade....all you notice is their darned lips or teeth.....

We had the statement rug hung on the two-story fireplace at the former mountain house:

I do like that rug---and think one statement piece per room is very interesting--

I don't like the rug in the photo at all. Not a fan of the colors or design. To be honest I don't really like much in the room.

We have a bold patterned living room rug. I'm sure some people wouldn't like it. The colors in the rug are repeated through the space and into the dining room, kitchen, and sunroom. We all have different likes and dislikes in home decor.
