To me, rugs with carpet just look strange and desperate.

Your room is narrow and when you see the dark rectangle it feels closed in (my opinion only). What about the clear coffee table someone forwarded to you or at least a clear glass top. A can of vibrant glossy paint - perhaps tourquoise to lighten up the room or even have a piece of mirror cut to measure? Good Luck.

punto di vista interessante quello di Lia. Mi chiedo se non sia figlio anche del modo -o meglio, dei tempi- con cui compriamo l'arredamento. Se compri dei pezzi singoli col passare del tempo (senza rinnegare in toto l'arredamento), allora si creerà uno stile più eclettico. Se allestisci casa una volta sola... sarà omogenea per 30 anni! Il fatto è che raramente traslochiamo; ancora meno cambiamo i mobili: quanti tra voi hanno traslocato più di tre volte da quando vivono da soli? E da quando siete una famiglia? Tento un parallelismo con la moda: Benetton, Missoni e Disegual sono (stati) marchi ben riconoscibili, soprattutto per i colori. Ma Armani c'è stato, c'è e ci sarà. Colore vs linee pulite: cosa comprereste a parità di prezzo? e dovendo prendere un vestito solo? Infine: se il gusto "moderno" si è fermato a questi pezzi (tutti ultra 50enni, vedi sotto) il problema è che da oltre 50 anni non capiamo "il moderno" -e non lo acquistiamo. (mi avessero detto a 20 anni che un giorno mi sarei riempito casa con dei mobili disegnati quando mio nonno era giovane, mi sarei fatto grasse risat; ed invece...) ... e stiam parlando di mobili. Vogliamo parlare di tappeti? Qualcuno ha detto tappeti moderni? (tipo: https://kylebunting.com/en/rugs/tans)

Non amo e non ho tappeti in casa per una questione prettamente igienica. Ho solo una stuoia in camera da letto perché è vietato entrarci con le scarpe. Un'antica preghiera turca restaurata l'ho appesa alla parete ed è proprio bella; mi piace più lì che per terra

Ciao Carla, non ci hai detto cosa hai scelto alla fine per il tappeto.... se stai ancora meditando sulla soluzione migliore, ti suggerisco qualche bel tappeto moderno patchwork per diversi motivi: i tappeti patchwork sono rasati e molto pratici sotto le sedie con le rotelle i tappeti patchwork sono l'elemento di congiunzione tra lo stile classico e quello moderno sulla basa delle tue priorità scegli tra il tappeto patchwork pezzo unico (quelli fatti a mano in Turchia con pezzi di tappeti vecchi in lana) e il tappeto patchwork come un altro elemento d'arredo e quindi scegli uno di quelli fatti in serie molto più economico il tappeto patchwork è un tinta unita ma non ti annoierà mai come un tappeto moderno monocolore il tappeto moderno patchwork si abbina al tuo ambiente dove coesistono elementi classici e moderni, in particolare ti suggerisco questi due varianti di colore (vedi immagini a seguire): -- tappeto patchwork verde acido in lana, realizzato con tappeti vecchi -- tappeto patchwork beige in lana, realizzato con tappeti vecchi

Valeria, davvero una bella lampada, la capisco. Sia singola che in varie composizioni, è davvero molto versatile. Mi piace anche Acqua 3, sempre di Cini&Nils, per lo stesso motivo. La sua risposta mi ha dato uno spunto per una riflessione, e cioè quanto gli oggetti di Design influenzino il mercato, così come fa l'alta moda. Sono oggetti costosi e destinati a una nicchia, a una clientela elitaria, ma ispirano un sacco di imitazioni a costo più abbordabile, di modo che anche chi non ha la possibilità di acquistare l'originale riesce ad arredare la propria casa con oggetti belli. I nostri colpi di fulmine possono avere un futuro cercando qualcosa di simile, non esistono amori impossibili nell'era del consumismo.

I think Judit is dead on with her thought on the coffee table, and Amartell's pillow advice is good as well. Maybe there is another place in the room to add some more orange or put one of the great rugs centaurita proposes.

The challenge here is that the walls, carpet, and couch are nearly the same white and it drains the life from the room. Maybe the walls need to be painted or the couch reupholstered or replaced.

I agree that the walls, carpet and couch are dullsville. Paint the walls, and add a fabulous rug pulling colors from the art. Rugs add texture, interest, define the space and are grounding pulling everything together. The coffee table can work, not everything needs to match. Look at all the eclectic photos on this site! Layers take it from stale to stunning! Maybe swich out the lamp or lampshade to something more interesting.

Part of the reason I vote "no" on the rug is that a rug over carpet (perhaps except sisal carpet) rarely lays flat. It also adds bulk that creates a trip hazard. Flooring transitions are a leading cause of home falls and not just with the elderly.

I assume this is an apartment and changing the carpet isn't an option?

I like your art above the sofa. The color that pops out from the art is a persimmon/orangy color. So, I agree with centarita and get a colorful orangey rug. Then, a solid orange toss pillow for the sofa and a persimmon color throw. (bring the orange down from the wall art). Adding teal in accents would be a nice addition too. Vase, candlesticks, or a teal lumbar pillow for the chair.

Others mention a new table, but I like yours as the mix woods look "warmer" and the carved detail table has character and the "morrocan" looks ties in with your pattern on the pilows. And, goes with the "bulk" of the tv console. My two cents. :)

Other things in your room are all plain, it need some fresh colors to active your room. Without changing any furniture... How about this...
Just put a EXCITING colorful rug, and buy some same/similar EXCITING color cushions to match the rug.

I have an area rug over carpet in my family room - you just need to ensure it is large enough and heavy enough to avoid the trip factor.
Plus, adding that gorgeous cayenne-orange colour down onto the floor will push your space to the next level of WOW - go for it!

I have eclectic tastes so I love the coffee table. To me, the ornate carving on it coordinates with the Moroccan pillow. I love the suggestion of rugs above, I would go with the teal to draw everything together and maybe put a bowl with balls in all the colors on the table. I like what you have alot! I think the rug (or a rug) would make it look "finished".

Yes, change the coffee table. Clear glass top. Then change out those boring white candles with some colorful books, candles, and flowers that relate to the colorful pillows you'll be surely adding. You won't need a rug!

While it might tie the seating area together and add color, area rug on top of carpet can be messy because they tend to crawl.

The more I think about this room, the more I get the feeling it has the start of a Bohemian (Boho chic) or Moroccan (as Darzy pointed out) sort of feel, and that's the way I would move forward with it. If it were me, of course :)
If you still haven't decided about the rug - consider putting a large colorful basket under the table (for storing blankets, books, etc.). Or maybe a couple smaller ones in different colors. Or, if there is room think about getting a pouf ottoman (or two). They come in all sorts of sizes, colors, materials, and shapes.
It looks like you are attracted to green also: green and orange are both secondary colors (along with purple) and will always look nice together.
Try adding just a little color here and there around the room. Some colored glass in the tray around the candles, a valance over the glass doors, vases, urns, sculptures, fresh flowers, even a stack of books?!
You could also put a pretty rug at the door instead of under the table.

I think your seating area is not big enough for a rug without making the area look too busy. I would like to see pillows with colors! Try to match some of the colors to the painting over the couch but some blues and greens would work really well. I think painting the coffee table a blue or green to match your new printed pillows would add some punch too. If you don't want to do that or am not sure what color or if thats too much committment for you, you could find a small woven rug or a table runner in that color to throw over the table for the same look. Good luck.

I think that you need some unity and several suggestions have been made. Funny how you ask about a rug and suddenly everyone seems to be questioning your coffee table. I LOVE the idea of a rug because it does add unity... but the rug on rug is just a big trip (possible fracture) waiting for my visit...LOL think about the picture without the rug and the cohesion of the two turquoise chairs... tie the couch and the chair together with similar pillows or throw cushions, if you don't like too much colour then resort to textures..... I love the basket idea with a few colourful throws tucked away.....

I say yes to a rug! I don't like rugs on rugs so if you can not add wood flooring then I would still add an area rug. It will give the space definition. I like your coffee table with the white sofa! I also like your selection of throw pillows. I would suggest, if you can, remove the computer items and possibly the black recliner. Maybe add two small chairs. Good luck!

def put a rug with some color, the coffee table is fine, and then add some curtain panels to each side of the sliding glass doors or windows to the right in your first pic. It will feel nice and homey and beautiful!

I like a rug. Just be sure and have a rug pad under it. I had patterned rug with some red in it. After many years the red bled onto the carpet. When we moved I had to replace the carpet. I spent $1000 because I was too cheap to spend $40 on a rug pad.

I think that this room needs something else: color coordinated pillows & throws (it needs color) and decluttering of the area next to the couch. I don't like idea of a rug on top of a carpet. On a hardwood or laminate floor - yes. But the carpet seems just fine, it is in neutral color and provides a good base. Play around with different accessories - candles, curtains?, pillows, vase with fresh flowers. This room needs some color (coordinated).

Also, aside of that computer desk decluttering (better: changing for a new one), I would change that black chair (recliner?) for a pair of 2 small fauteuils. Do not paint this beautiful coffee table.

Love the coffee table suggestion, but don't discount rugs on wall to wall carpet. We actually just wrote a post about it, because we know there are situations when you can't change the wall to wall carpet decor (apartments, rentals, corp housing, office, etc). Here are some pointers should you decide to go that route. http://blog.rugpal.com/2014/07/enhancing-wall-to-wall-carpet.html

I wouldn't say that you need a rug in this area. At first glance, I think replacing the coffee table with something bigger with possibly a glass or mirrored top and rustic frame then adding colourful accords or a big bright bowl, a bright lamp shade instead of white, another piece of colourful art and maybe another bright pillow.

Hi Jkman,

A rug, always a rug. This will bring the pieces together to create a conversation with each other and therefore with the people sitting in the room. It will also add some needed personality, pattern and texture.

I think a rug would add a nice touch to this room. Just make sure you pick one that fits the shape between the couches. It should either go just under them or just outside the outline of the couches.

There are some affordable area rugs that would fit here:
