Dark gray sofa, very pale gray walls. Which rug do you like better? This is for a house with young kids, fwiw.

The first one.
Why not Overstock? We bought from them and were quite happy. |

| Neither, both are going to stain terribly. Just saying. Get something with more pattern/difference to the carpet threads. |

OP here, I like that one, too. I bought a rug from them and it was a completely different color than the description and photo indicated. And it was so cheaply made. AND it looked slightly worn. Mailing back a rug was a pain! I have bought things from there before that I was happy with. I think the difference was that this one didn't have any reviews, positive or negative, so I wasn't warned. |

| Get a kilim rug with lots of reds to warm up the gray room. |

I'm having trouble finding such a thing I don't hate. Any suggestions? |

| Have you looked at Bassett? |

| I don't think the second one would go at all. Cream and tan with pale gray and dark gray? |

| first one! Those bassett rugs are clearly not OP's style. |

| The first with blue is wool. The second is jute and cotton. Little kids would be happier playing on a soft wool rug. |

Thanks! The first it is. And you are right. Not my style, though I'm sure they are nice. |

| I got this wool kilim rug from West Elm as a runner and I was very disappointed in the quality. http://www.westelm.com/products/tile-wool-kilim-aquamarine-t981/?pkey=cpattern-rugs-flooring&cm_src=pattern-rugs-flooring||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_- It's thin and the edges curl up. I've had much better luck with Pottery Barn rugs. |

| Nether. Both patterns are too busy and the second one is bland and extra ugly. The colors of the first one are okay. |
