Final week, I ordered three rugs to check out for our bed room. I do know what you’re pondering. “Kristi, you don’t even actually have a bed room but! Why are you ordering rugs?” I do know. I bought a bit forward of myself. I’ve a protracted method 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 every little thing so as in order that once I’m prepared to brighten, I’ve every little thing readily available (or have a really clear path for the initiatives that have to occur, just like the bedside tables I need to construct). So I’ve the wallpaper and the material material. I’ve determined to go along with darkish teal for our upholstered headboard. (I’ll add greens with pillows, however I’m retaining with darkish teal for the headboard.) And I needed to go forward and determine on a rug. I discovered three on Amazon that I believed would possibly work, so I ordered all three to check them out.
I dominated one in all them out instantly. It’s so onerous 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 might sneak some some pink or orange or coral into the room with the rug, and this one appeared to have the best teals and greens primarily based on the image (at the least on my pc display), so I took an opportunity.
Effectively, it’s horrible. I imply, the rug itself may 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 can be my best choice. Right here’s a glance from one path…
And right here it’s from the other way, simply in case it has a nap to it that adjustments the colour. (I don’t assume it does.)
However right here’s the place the horrible is available in. It’s simply an instantaneous no as soon as I add the opposite gadgets. 😀 It was so horrible that it made me snigger. Oh my gosh, how terrible…
And right here’s from the other way. This rug may be very attention-grabbing and positively doesn’t have a nap to it. It doesn’t also have a pile to it in any respect.
This rug is mainly the proper match to the material material. I imply…good. And truthfully, I can’t assist however to assume that it’s too good. Perhaps I’m fooling around, however I don’t need matchy/matchy. I would like gadgets that complement one another, however this appears past being complementary. That is matchng.
After all, all the medallion shall be hidden beneath the mattress, so it’s simply these sides that can present. I like this higher. And I actually do like that the entire rug is gentle and shiny, versus the drab background colour of the primary rug.
I can’t inform if this one had a nap to it, however right here it’s from the opposite path.
I didn’t like it with the material material and wallpaper proper on it.
It wasn’t horrible. It was actually nothing revolting like the primary rug and material material combo. 😀 But it surely simply wasn’t actually doing something for me.
So I made a decision to go to mattress and provides them one other look this morning. I draped the curtain material over the treadmill and flipped the rugs again in order that Cooper couldn’t stroll on them, after which began preparing for mattress. After I walked again by later, I noticed this, and I actually appreciated 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 mostly 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 model, however I do marvel if it’s the higher selection for our bed room. I don’t essentially want a complete lot of colour, 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 most likely select the third one. However I’ve tried earthy, subdued decisions prior to now and regretted them. However that is only a rug. I feel I might make this work. I nonetheless have numerous alternative to herald extra colour and sample with bedding, a chair, probably a bit ottoman, and different smaller gadgets. Or is that second one too good of a match to go up? Ugh! I can’t determine.
Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I transform and embellish the 1948 fixer higher that my husband, Matt, and I purchased in 2013.
