Heathered Chenille Jute Rug
The last few days have been spent searching for rugs. The main floor of our new house is entirely hardwood. The floors are beautiful but I am in serious need of rugs. I have searched and shopped, bought and returned and I am striking out.
Ryan brought home a rug from Costco tonight, I don't like it, but it was $100 and it serves it's purpose. I am anxiously awaiting the day Ryan's rug moves to the basement and something fabulous replaces it as I'm still on the hunt for something perfect.
I never knew shopping for rugs could be so frustrating.
*I want a natural fiber rug, but that's not comfortable for the kids to lay on or play games on.
*Spending $$$ for something to lay on your floor and walk on is hard to do.
*If I buy a patterned rug will it clash with the floral chair and look too busy?
*There are a lot of weird sizes. Why aren't there more 8x10's?
*Rugs really are needed to pull the room together.. who knew?
Rug suggestions anyone?

A word on natural fiber rugs - The house we are renting has large sisal rugs from Crate and Barrel in the kitchen and under the kitchen table - I hate them and so does everyone who spends much time here. They are easy to vacuum/sweep crumbs or dry spills but are really difficult to clean after wet spills (e.g. yogurt, milk, playdough) plus they are not comfortable on your feet. I think they would work better for a home without small children.
rugs are tricky for me too! Let me know and show me a picture once you pick one!
we had this same issue a few months back. finding the perfect rug was hard - so many factors play into it. We lucked out at Ikea and found a great one to go with the rest of the room.
A friend of mine found some carpet that she liked at Home Depot and just had them cut the dimensions she needed, finish off the edges and had a rug made!
Good Luck to you. I hope you find something!
My husband loves rugs. It's taken many years to train him to buy a nice rug.
i am always on the lookout for a good rug! i always really love what they have at world market.
It's going to sound crazy, but take a look at Overstock.com
They've got some serious selection and they're priced REALLY well. I've seen quite a few there that are very similar to way more expensive rugs at other sites... :) Have fun shopping. You'll probably find the perfect piece when you stop "searching high and low". That's the way it normally works for me. ;)
Home Decorators and Overstock both have pretty good selections.
The rug in my family room is from Company C. If you buy on clearance, their prices are almost affordable ;)
Oh I am in the same boat...HOLY EXPENSIVE...I have fallin in love with so many rugs only to pick my jaw up from the floor when I see the cost. UGH....
I did order a few rugs from Overstock that are really good quality and comfy under foot for under 200. Might see if they have anything you like.
I got a great braided jute rug at Lowes (large & about $100) for under my dining room table that I love but they are harder to clean after wet spills - I already have a few stains. They have some cute rugs at Crate & Barrel right now - the Island Chevron Rugs, and I love the Hogan rugs (8x10 only $200) if you decide you want to punch it up with a little color. And of course PotteryBarn always has beautiful rugs - I have one & I love it but it does shed like crazy.
