Should I stay or should I go? Said the rug

Naty Chaimowitz
hace 9 años
I just received my rug to go in the dinning room. Table and chairs have not arrived but they will be an espresso color. I really like the look and feel of the rug and feel it goes well with the walls and the hardwood, but not necessarily with the granite in the kitchen. My question is, does it have to? I don't really want to returner rug, but I can if necessary. And please ignore the mess, we are just in moving in. Thanks!

    I agree with Zazfuzzroc! I think it looks great and like the contrast of the gray with cream colored walls as in the picture posted. Recently, I read an article saying that grays and beiges can live very beautifully together. Wish I could find the link now! Good luck.

      @Vintage Jazz- Is that a saxophone I hear every time you post?
      @immunigirl- How did Elvis Costello get mixed in here?

      I believe Jazzy plays the ukulele actually. ;) If she did play sax, I'd never let her leave my dilemma. :) Really she's great so I'll take the ukulele playing too. :)

      I think decoenthusiaste left out the word minimum. You need a MINIMUM amount of space for you or your guests to walk around the others if they get up for seconds or some other reason. Imagine if your room were three times larger. You wouldn't want a table so big you couldn't hear conversation on the other side of the table.

      Regarding the rug size, it's her opinion that it should be four feet longer and wider than the table WITHOUT running into the walls or the furniture on the walls. If your room were three times larger, a rug that size would help to define the space and make it more intimate. You don't have the space for a rug that size but you do have enough room for the chairs to scoot in and out. So really, you are good.

      I like a rug to extend 3' beyond the edge of a table on all sides. I think you should try to find a rug that's in the same color family as the walls - more warm beige. This rug will compete, not complement your new espresso color dining set. Good Luck!

      @diiorim, thanks for going through that. I really appreciate you taking the time. The analogy of having a room 3x the size was really helpful.

      @Gary - thanks for your input. I looked at beige rugs and they didn't do it for me. The house is already so beige...the chairs are arriving this weekend. So we will see how it looks.

      The table is here and I am very happy with it. Not sure how I feel about how it fits with the kitchen - I tend to go for matchy-matchy, although I feel the color of the table highlights the black tones of the granite. The next thing I need to figure out if cuahions for the bench and chairs. Any suggestions on fabrics or colors? We like blues, and with the carpet, that's what I was thinking.

      Hi, I see the rug is a good size. :) Are you going for patterned fabric? Or solid? I think the wood is fine. I like the mix. What scares me is when everything is the same. :)

      Yay! I think it's fine that the wood isn't exactly the same and agree that your table looks pretty with the granite. I think I would choose beige/ivory cushions since the design of the rug is bold and your room has a contemporary feel to it. If anything, I think you need more chairs-3 on the opposite side of the bench and maybe 2 upholstered beige/ivory chairs at each end would be pretty and would soften the look of all the wood. Also, I think a contemporary mirror would look really nice behind the table and maybe think about lowering your chandelier to make it look more inviting. Love the rug with your table. Good luck!

    • Mildred Di Iorio

      I like to wait until I chose my curtains before I pick out the chair cushions. I like to find a sparcely used color in the fabric and use it as an accent color (Assuming you go with a pattern). Blue sounds wonderful. Two thumbs up on that color.
    • sandradclark
      hace 9 años
      Avoid matchy, matchy. Love the table set with the rug & it goes with your kitchen granite. I agree with Karen to lower the chandelier. I think a lighter color for the cushions would look best and I have to agree again with Karen to add two chairs, but not necessarily upholstered. One at each end with the 3 chairs across from the bench. I would like to see the fiberglass bucket chairs with chrome legs in a light color different from the cushion colors. You will have a great dining area for a group of about 7-8. What was the site where you bought the set? Maybe you could check there for the cushions and the bucket chairs.

      I found the site where you bought your rug and they have a chair that would go great with your set (one at each end). They are called the Classic Parsons Chair and they have a fabric which would coordinate so well with your rug. On sale for 60.99 each and you could pick one of the lighter colors from the chairs for your cushions. Let me know if you would agree?

      I love the look of the table with the rug as well. I was wondering if it would work better to switch the bench and chair so they are on opposite sides? And maybe one more chair for balance.

      This room is really looking great, and I would love to sit down and eat at this table.

    • Mildred Di Iorio
      hace 9 años
      If you are going to custom make the cushions get some chairs you can upholster with a similar or complementary fabric to add at each end and have them make a complementary styled window treatment. Blues with tans and grey, either in a pattern or a separate solid color for each or a combination. Visit a fabric store and explore. Matching everything sounds safe especially when you are a beginner but bring home a yard or two of a couple or three daring fabrics and drape them around and you'll snap out of that soon enough.
    • Mildred Di Iorio
      hace 9 años
      I should add that when you decide to mix thing up you still need to focus on the colors and pattern coordinating. Like a good painting. So they don't have to be the same but they have to look good together and not get too busy. I started by buying things one at a time and living with them a little while before I made my next purchase. It takes practice.

      I guess I should have mentioned that I ordered 4 chairs, but one came damaged, so it will be arriving on Tuesday. Thank you for all the comments. I wasn't sure what my style is - guess I am leaning towards contemporary :)

      @Zaz - I was thinking pattern... or slide. I guess I am not sure. Either pattern in the cushions or curtains.

      @Karen - The light is lowered compared to the initial picture. I will lower it as far as it goes and re-post. I love the idea of upholstered chairs, but my husband completely refused the idea. It was a stretch for him to agree to the table.

      @Sandraclark - I like the classic parson chair. Which color were you thinking? $60.99 seems like a steal. Really need to talk to the hubby...

      @Vicky - I just posted the table. See my previous post :)

      @Carol - I totally agree with you about the extra chair - cant wait to get on tuesday. Come on over - but i must warn you I am not a good cook.

      @Lindsay Landers - check out wayfair :)

      Diiorim - Thank you for all the advice. I particularly liked the mix of patterns in the kid friendly and fabulous.

      Hi, they are pretty fabrics. I love swirls, that's bad to show me. I always gravitate to them. I am not an authority on mixing fabrics. From what I know, you usually mix big with small, rug being a big pattern. It's hard to tell color, it's different on my iPad than on the pc. I love the blue in the first one. :) I'm not sure. :)
    • User

      I agree with zaz. I find it difficult to mix patterns, especially since your chairs are siting directly on top of the rug which has a large bold pattern. I think you should pick something with a small pattern, so that it doesn't compete with the rug. I would want the rug to be the STAR! And, I do think you need to find a fabric with grays and beiges like the rug so that the cushions and rug are not competing.

      Are your cushions going to be removable and just on the seat of the chair? And are the materials for the cushions available at West Elm where you purchased the table, bc you can probably order samples to try. Refer to the pics that diliorim posted. The patterned chair has the same colors as the rug. Will try to find some more pictures of what I'm talking about.

      Thanks for the comments. I just need to keep searching... I attached the cushion available at west elm. I just don't like the look of it and unfortunately they don't have any other options ad the size of the bench is not standard.

      And yeah, the cushions will be removable. Initially, I might just get a cushion for the bench, depending on the cost.

      Suggestions on fabric would be great!

      As for curtain, I was thinking solid ivory matchin the rug. But I will deal with that after the cushions.

      I know this is not a dining room, but I was reminded of your room and wanted to show you patterns together. I think one of the fabrics you showed had circular shapes. Okay, look....

      I think these work well together and there is a more neutral curtain. :) Good luck! :)
    • zazfuzzroc

      I think if you stick to similar colors to your rug and maybe with the blue that you want added in the pattern , it will look nice. I think a smaller pattern for the cushions and your good. :)
    • Mildred Di Iorio
      hace 9 años
      Here's my two cents...

      The swirls are my favorite too cause that's just my taste. However, the third pattern is a winner for me assuming its a small pattern. I feel it the best one to tie all the colors in. As Karen suggests, you don't want to compete with the rug.

      Don't feel like all the chairs have to have the same pattern. Perhaps the end chairs can be solid or do solids and have the end chairs in the print. Pick the solid color from the pattern. Or, you can have solid on one side of the cushion and print on the other! See Burlingame Residence Two photo that I sent previously for inspiration.

      I would also do solid color for the windows. I think, since you like the contemporary look, you should consider fabric blinds for the window. Somewhere I saw panels that had blinds sewn into them and they looked like roman shades when pulled up. Might have been Blinds.com. I've never bought anything from them but I heard they're very helpful over the phone and if you send pictures of the window and the room, they can help you see how different options look in the room before you place an order. If you use them, let me know if you thought they were helpful. .

      Thanks for checking in. Not much has happened in the dining room - work got in the way. I am still trying to figure out the fabric for the cushion and also finding someone that can do it for an amount in the budget. I like the idea of having solids on one side and pattern on the other.

      What do you think of this pattern?

      Base on the measurements online, the pattern is small. The whole thing in the picture could fit in one of the pattern sections of the rug, if that makes sense. I am going to order a swatch and see how it looks in the space. I will post pictures when I get it :)

      Great idea getting a sample ...I think if it's on the smaller side in comparison to the rug, it will look good. You have good taste.... look at your kitchen and the start to your dining room is great. I'll be watching for pictures. Have a great day! :)

      If you have an Ikea nearby or even not, check them online. Great selection of drapes. Different colors, styles. It's hard to tell online. Click to make the picture larger. I like to go with grommets, just below ceiling down to the floor. I like them as they have very long lengths available. I buy them longest, then hem to my length.
