So this is the rug we purchased at Kohl's on sale for around $200 like last week. With all the holiday decoration boxes still in our Family Room we just got this laid out two nights ago. I know the experts would say it's too small for the room but we like it and didn't want to have to special order a rug or pay more than we really wanted to. Plus the rug is really soft and nice to lay on. The dogs really like it too. Now instead of going straight to the couch when they come in from outside, they just lay on the rug.
When purchasing a rug you should consider the colors of the room, or rooms as we did in our case. With the open floor plan we wanted something that would also go with the Kitchen/Dining Room area so that the rooms flowed together. The walls of the Kitchen are an interesting bluish green (more green than blue) and the ceiling is called Italian Ice which is a really soft blue, where the light has to hit it just right to see the blue. While the rug may not match these colors exactly, they are in the same color family so it still works. Also, don't forget the mat for under the rug. This helps the rug stay in place. We got one that also has a thin layer of memory foam on it which helps add to the comfortableness of laying on the rug on the floor. The mat should not match the dimentions of the rug exactly, it should be short by a couple inches on all sides. I'm not exactly sure why this is, but I noticed in our case with the memory foam attached to the mat that the extra inches helps make a smooth transition to the rug.
