Rug Hunt Begins!

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

Now that we refinished our hardwood floors and re-stained them a a rich brown color, its time to start thinking about area rugs. I promise to have more pictures + the how to of our hard floors soon! Were making a few changes in the living room (more on that later) Its funny, I never realized how naked our floors were until after having them refinished. After much discussion, were looking for an 5 x 8 rug that should still give plenty of coverage and anchor our furniture without covering up to much over our pretty new floors. We want the rug to be baby, kid, dog and us friendly without breaking the bank.  Here's our top Rug Contenders:

We are pretty much on a rug kick from West Elm, they just have an awesome selection of rugs, many at great prices. I adore this Herringbone Rug, its such a subtle pattern i could see it looking so good underfoot. 


We both like the Jute Dote Rug, this may work even better then the Herringbone rug. 


We can't for get about our small entryway, we've opted to kick our existing rug to the curb for something more playful & colorful. I've been digging deep navy blues lately and love this rug for our entryway. It's such a cute playful rug.



Luckily for us our rug search so far has been small -- going back and forth between the area rugs for our space. Hopefully West Elm's rugs go on sale for at least 15% off! Lol, that will help make our decision much easier. 

Which rug do you like more the Herringbone Rug or the Jute Dot Rug?

  2. I LOVE west elm, and just found out there is a store near me. Now, I just need to find the house... :)

    I personally am more into the herringbone rug, but the Jute is special too, more different. Great choices!

  7. If you held a gun to my head and made me choose I would say herringbone. I don't think you could go wrong with either one!

  8. I love them all but, my two cents, is in between the dot and the herringbone. I know that's cheating, but I can't decide which one of the two I love best. Its like asking me which one of my kids I love the best!

  10. Wow, tough choice! They are both very classic; you can't go wrong with either one. That blue one is so fun and bold - a great conversation starter for the entryway!

    I've heard that Ikea has super-cheap area rugs. Of course, I wouldn't know this personally since the nearest one is like 6 hours away from us. :(
