What type/color rug would you suggest??...?
I have a home built in the 1940s with arched doorways and furniture that I inherited from my great-grandmother including a channel-backed couch that I had recovered in a gold-ish herringbone patterned fabric and a Victorian chair that has been recovered in a red/gold/green tapestry pattern, I also have two club chairs that are in a kind of olive green color with gold detail. Currently I have a plain beige rug in the room but want and NEED to update this and wonder if I should go with something a little more fancy or keep it minimalistic with the other patterns going on (I have hard wood floors as well as wood paneling on the walls). I was thinking of maybe going with a natural fabric like jute or sisal or maybe something funky like leather or shag.
I have a 6 month old puppy, thus the need to replace the rug.
With a puppy, I would stay away from natural sea grasses such as jute and sisal, as these rugs are unusually difficult to clean. I also find that they are awful when you're in your bare feet, but that is just me. Leather and shag are just a bit easier to clean, but all are disaster for a puppy. If your puppy doesn't have a chewing problem, I would suggest that you pick a dark, busy, good quality Oriental style rug. These are incredibly easy to have cleaned, and there are many varieties that you can get that have little to no issues with color running should your puppy have an accident. They wear incredibly well too. Look at Mashad, Kashan, and Kerman styles if you want to coordinate with your grandma's antiques. If you want something still traditional, but with a little bit more contemporary color schemes, check out Peshawar and Oushak designs. All the best with your decorating!
