Living room rug dilemma

This is my living room. It's not very big so we want to make it look as roomy as possible. We're not sure if we should buy a rug that will go under the legs of the sofas, or one that is smaller (maybe 5'x7') just to go under the coffee table. To give a better picture, we have 2 sofas instead of a sofa and a love seat and each sofa is a bit over 6'5"

Need help on the furniture layout for open plan living room
Comments (9)Thanks for your comments, its great to discuss with houzers! You are so right @decoenthusiaste the view is beautiful and one reason why I chose the apartment. the room is longer than it is wide, and I wanted the kitchen/bar to be included in the seating so the attached pic is how I was planning to lay it out. @cdrdesign I can't/change the table, its a gorgeous mahogany piece I had custom made and one I see keeping for some years yet! I dont plan a TV in this room, will put it in another room. This room in for living and entertaining guests. Sorry I dont have layout software, so you will have to make do with my scribbles using powerpoint! Could really do with help on choosing the light fitting in place of the central fan- what would look nice here or should I wait till the furniture gets here to choose the light to match?...See MoreWhat rug should I buy for my living room ?
Comments (2)Photos didn't attach. Mint is a horrible colour (IMHO) and I have it in spades in my rental. I've ignored it and accented the way I want. It seems to have calmed down since I started using bold colours like red (rugs) and orange (painted cafe street scene). The light in my place is quite warm...so I've been having fun by ignoring the mint. Colours like burnt sienna and many forms of orange seem to work well with mint. Photos would help....See MoreWhat rug should I buy for my living room ?

Comments (6)I like the industrial feel of the art, Poonam. I've put together a mood board, concentrating on the grungy industrial colours. I think you probably have room for a small sectional, and a few bar stools at the kitchen counter -- probably no more seating than that. I love this round coffee table, and the fact that the 'distressed' rug really does look as though it might have been in a workshop somewhere. :-) I imagine you might be mounting a TV on the left wall as you enter? Nowhere else to put one, really. If you could get a really shallow TV cabinet to put it on that would be good as it could give you a bit of storage in the room. Which may be small, by the way, but it's fabulous. Congratulations....See More

8 years agoI saw this rug in the recent Ballard Design catalog and just love it. I think your coffee table is to small. Would it fit next to sofa as an end table? I'm including a glass and iron coffee table. Your sofas are wonderful.

8 years agoThe rug is great! Not too large at all. But the coffee table is "lost" in the space. You need a great big round something there. This one is from Wayfair.com. The cushion is removable for when you want to use the table as a serving area. My furniture layout is different from yours but thought I'd include the pix anyway so you can get an idea of proportion. "Filling" a space doesn't make the room feel crowded. Happy decorating!
