I've been looking around for the perfect rug for quite a while but couldn't find one that fit my style or my budget. Then I got the latest flyer from World Market. The bamboo area rugs caught my eye:
But at $25, it was pushing the top end of what I was willing to pay for an area rug. I got to thinking that what I really liked about the rug was the use of complimentary colors within a bold pattern.
I stopped in at HomeGoods and found this:
Muted colors? Check. Bold pattern? Price - $7. GIGANTIC check!
Now it's at home in our foyer. However, you'll notice I haven't taken the price tag off yet:
When I initially measured my foyer, I noted that I either needed a 2'x3' area rug or a 4'x6' area rug for the doorway.
The fun new rug from HomeGoods is 20"x32" - fairly close to a 2'x3'. But looking at it in context in the foyer, I'm wondering if a larger rug is a better choice.
What think you, dear readers? Stick with what I have or return it and look for something closer to a 4'x6'?
Personal opinion only - I believe a slightly larger rug would look better. Why not try one .... leave the price tag on .... The smaller rug looks fine though.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nita.
ReplyDeleteI think slightly larger would be preferable, since the rug doesn't quite reach both sides of the doorframe. The foyer rug kind of overpowers it. Not to a large degree, though. I am not sure I would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out, and overall I think it looks nice. It's a very cute rug!
ReplyDeleteThe overwhelming opinion - here, on facebook and in my heart - is to return this gem for a larger rug. Off to HomeGoods I go!!
