What sort of rug under dining table will tie in kitchen/living areas
Hi there, I'm in need of some inspiration. I would like a rug under the dining table in the open plan dining/kitchen/living area. I feel the area needs linking together and warming up. Should it be plain or patterned, coloured or neutral. We live miles away from shops and I don’t have the skill of picturing how something will look, so I have had many wasted trips to return things! It would be great to hear your ideas. All suggestions welcome. Thanks so much

Comments (22)I would wait for the rug, until you have the shutters up and your furniture placed..it may take on a character of its own and you'll want to compliment. My first thought though was to coordinate with your kitchen and incorporate some black, with a black/beige stripped rug, which would be fun with the wallpaper and perhaps paint your chairs black, add the shutters and you could paint the window trim black and add a large black chandelier....See MoreI need help in my living area
Comments (12)Hey! Great space! The table is too small for the space, it would immediately help if you had head chairs on either end of the table. It would read larger. If you're interested in a new dining set, try a round dining table, seating at least 6 for size. You need something to define each space, a new furniture arrangement could help. I would try rotating the sectional so that its off of the window. Good Luck!...See Moreopen plan living, kitchen diner.
Comments (11)Hi flair lighting. The back door over by the laundry is the one that would be used by us day to day. as the cars will be parked around the back of the house (maybe under a carport later on) away from our view. When guests arrive they will come in through the front door, which we are having some design issues with. We like it so when you open the front door people can't see straight into your living area. you never know who's gonna knock on your door! i really hear you about the fact that it leads to the bedrooms, but really unsure how to remedy this.also the laundry is by the back door so when you do the washing you can easily nip out the back door to the washing line which is out the back also away from view. our coats and shoes can be stored in the laundry also. was thinking lisa, that maybe a bench seat against the wall as you walk in the front door with a couple of coat hooks for guests? Lol we dont really get guests. In our current home i can count on one hand the amount of times the front door gets used. we just access through our internal garage.... any thoughts....See MoreDining room help please ...
Comments (26)Hi Jennifer K, thanks for your comments. The photos you have posted are really lovely but not really suited to our environment and house, which I know is impossible to tell from one photo. We have built a modern farmhouse on 10 acres. That room looks out to beautiful green countryside and the river below. The dining room is a bit of a feature and is completely different to the rest of our relaxed lodgey style house but I don't want it to be too modern, if that makes sense. The photos have given me a few ideas so thank you so much for your help!...See More

3 years agoHello. I love the aubergine cabinetry as well as the upholstery on your dining chairs - they look so soft I just want to touch them! So something that compliments these and sits well with the terracotta tiles would be pink beige. Here is a pic of a natural jute type option as well as a vintage rug for a more classic look.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoThank you for your comments. I really appreciate your help. I think we are on the same track. The rugs I have brought home have fought with the terracotta colour plus the busyness of the small tiles. I did come across this picture on Houzz, which I think looks good. What do you think? It would need some of that burnt orange from the chair upholstery as well as the aubergine to tie in but I liked the dark border line, it matched with the grout.

3 years agoThank you Sally. interesting about using Royal Blue. Do you have any pictures with that colour in it? I have used blue as an accent colour in the room but I don’t think you can see any in my photos. I painted the hydrangeas picture and have blue cushions. Is that what you call Royal Blue?

2 years agoHello everyone. i really did appreciate all your helpful comments when we were trying to choose a rug for under the dining room table. After much deliberation, here is what we chose and we are very happy with it.

2 years agoI seem to love blue in my paintings so yes, royal blue in the room gives it a lift. That jade/green joinery has been a challenge to work around.
Thank you again pottsy99
