Final week, I ordered three rugs to check out for our bed room. I do know what you’re considering. “Kristi, you don’t even actually have a bed room but! Why are you ordering rugs?” I do know. I received somewhat forward of myself. I’ve an extended strategy to go earlier than I’m able to put a rug down in that room — that room that doesn’t even have flooring in it but. 😀
However I’m making an attempt to get all the things so as in order that after I’m prepared to brighten, I’ve all the things readily available (or have a really clear route for the initiatives that have to occur, just like the bedside tables I need to construct). So I’ve the wallpaper and the material cloth. I’ve determined to go along with darkish teal for our upholstered headboard. (I’ll add greens with pillows, however I’m maintaining with darkish teal for the headboard.) And I needed to go forward and resolve on a rug. I discovered three on Amazon that I believed may work, so I ordered all three to check them out.
I dominated one among them out instantly. It’s so laborious to purchase a 9′ x 12′ rug primarily based on a tiny little image on-line. The primary one is this Safavieh Madison in gray and gold (affiliate hyperlink). I believed perhaps, probably, I may sneak some some pink or orange or coral into the room with the rug, and this one appeared to have the proper teals and greens primarily based on the image (a minimum of on my pc display screen), so I took an opportunity.
Effectively, it’s horrible. I imply, the rug itself could be very fairly. I want it labored, as a result of if I had to decide on any of the three to be in my home, this one could be my best choice. Right here’s a glance from one route…
And right here it’s from the wrong way, simply in case it has a nap to it that modifications the colour. (I don’t suppose it does.)
However right here’s the place the horrible is available in. It’s simply a right away no as soon as I add the opposite objects. 😀 It was so horrible that it made me snort. Oh my gosh, how terrible…
And right here’s from the wrong way. This rug could be very fascinating and positively doesn’t have a nap to it. It doesn’t actually have a pile to it in any respect.
This rug is principally the proper match to the material cloth. I imply…excellent. And actually, I can’t assist however to suppose that it’s too excellent. Perhaps I’m fooling around, however I don’t need matchy/matchy. I would like objects that complement one another, however this appears past being complementary. That is matchng.
In fact, the complete medallion will likely be hidden beneath the mattress, so it’s simply these sides that may present. I like this higher. And I actually do like that the entire rug is gentle and shiny, versus the drab background coloration of the primary rug.
I can’t inform if this one had a nap to it, however right here it’s from the opposite route.
I didn’t like it with the material cloth and wallpaper proper on it.
It wasn’t horrible. It was actually nothing revolting like the primary rug and material cloth combo. 😀 However it simply wasn’t actually doing something for me.
So I made a decision to move to mattress and provides them one other look this morning. I draped the curtain cloth over the treadmill and flipped the rugs again in order that Cooper couldn’t stroll on them, after which began preparing for mattress. Once I walked again by means of later, I noticed this, and I actually favored it! I feel these work fantastically collectively!
So rugs #2 and #3 are the choices. The primary one is brighter and extra colourful with extra sample and motion, which is usually what I gravitate in direction of. The second is calmer, extra subdued, extra earthy. These usually aren’t phrases I’d use to explain my adorning fashion, however I do surprise if it’s the higher alternative for our bed room. I don’t essentially want an entire lot of coloration, brightness, motion, and sample in our bed room. Or do I? 😀
I simply don’t know. If I had to decide on proper this very second, I’d in all probability select the third one. However I’ve tried earthy, subdued selections up to now and regretted them. However that is only a rug. I feel I may make this work. I nonetheless have plenty of alternative to usher in extra coloration and sample with bedding, a chair, probably somewhat ottoman, and different smaller objects. Or is that second one too good of a match to move up? Ugh! I can’t resolve.
