Just Four Things | Rug Selection

June 15, 2015 by Courtney 40 Comments

Hi all! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. If you missed my casual Saturday Shopping post you can get caught up here. We are super proud of our son as he tested for his blue belt in TaeKwanDo this past Sunday. So proud of his dedication and determination. It’s been amazing to watch. We are headed into our last week of school before summer. Today, I am excited to get your opinion on our Just Four Things room! We are already rocking and rolling and jumping right in with the design.

Let me refresh your memory. Here is the bedroom we are working with. Light, bright and plenty of space.

Meredith and her husband want a soothing retreat but with personality and color infused. Prior to my showing up on the scene, they were in the throws of picking out paint color. Their front runner was Benjamin Moore Sylvan Mist and I agreed it was a great color choice. It will give the a beautiful backdrop and create a fresh feel.

My client, Meredith, and I, decided that we would focus on the following four things:

  1. Area rug
  2. New bedding
  3. Bedside tables/chests
  4. Drapes

Of course it will take more than these four things to completely finish off the space, but these will drastically change the room and give them the design push they needed to create a beautiful sanctuary. This week we are focusing on choosing a rug. We would love to get your input and see which one you would choose. Keep in mind we will be using color on the bed as well as on the window wall with new curtains. And because it’s easier to switch up throw pillows and accent pieces, Meredith would like to keep the rug bold but neutral. Great choice!

Sorry about the redundancy with the photos, but I wanted you to see the bed, wall color and rug combination each time. So if you have a thought on which one you would pick, feel free to tell us in the comment section.

Cast your vote!

Would you choose the Everleigh, Phoebe, Miles or Emperor? 

All four rugs are from Lulu & Georgia. Their selection is immense and they have never let me down quality wise.

Reader Takeaway: A rug can be a big investment. If you are looking to purchase one, consider going neutral so you can switch out less expensive accessories as you feel like it.

Can’t wait to show you this space painted. The Sylvan Mist will be gorgeous in Meredith’s room. Stay tune for Just Four Things updates. If you missed anything in the latest series, get caught up below.

    I love the emperor rug! I think it’s more elegant and peaceful and calming, as a bedroom should be! I love the feel of the other, more modern rugs as well – I just think the emperor rug fits in more with the “feel” most people desire in the bedroom. We’re in the process of designing our bedroom right now and I’m desperate to get a new rug because it really does make such a huge difference. Excited to see the changes in action!

    I completely agree about picking a neutral rug. It just makes it so much easier to rearrange and redecorate, but still makes a big impact. I’d go with Miles–can’t go wrong with stripes.

    You and Meredith are off to a great start. Looking forward to seeing the final space!

    Everleigh for sure. I like the graphic nature but it’s still softer than the other two graphic ones. The last one is too busy for me and I think would pull the room in direction opposite of the “clean fresh soothing” vibe you’re going for.

    First of all, I love the paint color. Also love all the rugs. I guess the Everleigh the best but if you go with that I would do a stripe curtain in the same neutral colors. Or vice versa, if you go with the striped rug, go with a design on curtain. Either way, I would add your pop of colors on bed with throw pillows. You can always change the pillows with the seasons.

    I prefer the emperor. It’s a classic tone one tone design.

    I tend to prefer a pattern on drapes…I feel like it is easier to make a statement on the wall than on the floor….I think a patterned rug and patterned drapes would be too busy. With that said, I would pick the striped rug. Soooo exciting!

    They are all great, but I don’t know what look she is going for! Personally, I love patterns, and I love the Everleigh the most! I tend to have a pretty modern style though. The Emperor is not my style but very pretty for a more classic look. The striped Miles would be pretty for a more beachy style, which would work great with the color that was chosen! In my opinion, you can’t lose with any of those choices. 🙂

    Add my vote for Everleigh! While I have the Phoebe (and LOVE), I think the Everleigh is perfect for this room.
    So fun! Meredith is a lucky gal!

    I like the Miles. It’s classic and will not go out of style. I think the first two are trendy and the last one, phoebe, is a little old fashioned for these young people.

    At first glance I was going to say the Everleigh, but after looking through again, I am going to go with the Miles. Stripes are timeless/classic and will go with any number of patterns without looking too fussy. Love the paint color they chose.
