There are a lot of area rugs available for sale on the web. I mean a lot of area rugs. I know this because a few years ago I spent so much time searching on-line for the perfect rug that I thought my eyes would start bleeding. So I’m really feeling for Stacey. She’s finally found a great area rug — see the pic above — but it’s pricey.
I’ll let Stacey fill you in on the details:
Here’s a photoshop mockup of my current living room. The couch, loveseat and tables will be replaced by the Thomasville Highlife 3 seat sofa in navy, two chairs similar to the one photoshopped in there but maybe more yellow or a gray one, and there will be new tables.
The dilemma is the rug. I really like it but do y’all think $2300ish is too much to pay for a 9 x 12 area rug?
What do you think Waffler readers? Lots of people expect to invest a hunk of change in a couch…what about a rug?
Do you have an idea for a no-waffle, fantasy waffle or just a regular old waffle? Click here to find out more about waffles or on the button below to contact me and get started.
That is a really pricey rug! It’s beautiful but I gotta agree with Kelly. I guess for me spending that much money on a rug would be a total waste since I redecorate sooo much. But if you really love it then go for it
Oh boy, this is a tough one. I too know the struggle with picking a rug, but in my opinion, this one is too expensive. To pay that much for a rug that has a distinct pattern like this one is risky, because a couple years down the road you could very well be tired of it and want to change it up. When making investment purchases I always stick to neutral colours that will go with any colour scheme I change a room to be. If going for a pattern, which is nice in this room, I’d go cheap like IKEA, because then it won’t matter so much when you are sick of it. Just my humble two cents worth.
Thanks so much! If the rug was under $1000 I think it would be an easy decision, but it’s hand-tufted, not hand-knotted and is over $2000 at my local furniture store.
