Young Bachelor Apartment
There are lots of inexpensive rugs available today from places like Home Depot, but these did not appeal to us, so we settled on this beautiful braided wool rug from Capel. http://www.capelrugs.com/hampton-denim-rugs We saw some really cool artsy very-thick-stranded wool rugs that we loved, but they were twice the price of the Capel. Since he wanted a large TV (his new start-up is about TV), we put that money into the media rather than onto the floor. The color of the rug was selected to enhance the colors in his photo collection, and relate to the Mondrian in the dining area.
We shopped several stores in search of the entertainment center, and found this solid wood piece from Ikea to be the best value ($200): http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80176298/
