What type of rug?
I can't decide what type of rug to put in my lounge room. I really like the Transitional rugs, but I also think a Shag rug would look nice.

Comments (25)Hi everyone, I'd like to thank you all for your input. Have been a busy spring and summer, but now I'm back and able to focus on the living room. Couple of things have been done/removed since lately: 1. Leather lounge set: I've (luckily) sold the leather lounge set - absolutely great piece with great quality, but not my taste at all. It made a world difference to the living room and even dear hubby, who liked the set, did acknowledge that the difference of less furnitures is great. 2. The rug 3. The white cabinet 4. New curtains with pelmet I love the pelmet although it's old style and yes, the curtains are too short! Will amend this at later stage :) These changes have made a huge impact on the room. Also, I'm also open to change the dining table with chairs for another nice option in an attempt to make this more interesting/cozy/inviting. So, these are the only things that I won't be able to change (we may (note on may) also move house by the end of this year/early next year) # Blinds # Colour of trims and built-in bookcase # Camel back sofa - I'm happy to reupholster it though and change the fabric. This will cost $2000 but I think it's worth it since they are really comfortable and are of good quality. I'd like to integrate the white frame with the gold poster in the design - an idea is to place 3x posters on the biggest wall of the air conditioner. I'm aware that a brown frame may suit the gold poster better, but I'm so tired of the colour brown at this moment. --------- So, I now feel I'm able to adjust as per your suggestions and recommendations much easier now. Appreciate every response and idea (And sorry for the mess of papers on the desk and floor! We're busy professionals and sometimes I have to let my husband have his creative space despite my OCD when it comes to decluttering and keeping it tidy)...See MoreWhat is the difference between an Oriental rug and a Persian rug?

Comments (8)Try layering it with a hide rug underneath. Put the round rug slightly to the left and under the front feet of the couch with round side table on top to reference it. Have the hide rug underneath round rug but spreading out to the right, also underneath front feet of couch and moving towards the tv cabinet without touching it. Round rugs in a square room are tricky imo, and the one you have is lovely but too small for the space - adding the irregular shaped hide rug creates the feeling of a larger rug....See More- 7 years ago

Thanks Siriuskey but this is ours...
4.5 x 3m. Too heavy to carry even when dry, let alone drape over something when wet...

Hi carolyn
What effect are you hoping for - relaxed, sophisticated, casual, modern??That timber floor is beautiful, so a floor rug needs to compliment and highlight that
What is the traffic flow like in that part of the room? A darker, multi- colour rug will disguise marks
A dhurri (flat weave Indian rug) may suit the situation
Some photos to look at for inspiration
