Rug does not look right?

[Shithole101]

I don't think this rug looks right does it. I'm so pissed off

If you can't return the rug and get something smaller, could you turn it the other way and move it under the sofa facing the patio doors? Then cleaning would be easier (you could flip it onto the sofa), although I have a large heavy rug and hoover it and clean the floor around it without lifting it. I even use the carpet washer on the rug in situ.

You won't need to lift it to clean. The other two corners will lift far enough for you to hoover under the edges

I think if you can get it sitting right it will be nice. It's a bit wavy just now but they all take time to flatten out. Put a couple of heavy books on it.

You might be able to do it one side at a time. I managed mine that way as I could manoeuvre it a bit once under one foot.

Could you do a round rug, where the edge is where the sofa ends?

It goes very well with the dog!

Get something smaller in a non neutral colour, so blue or green, or red or orange, the rest of the room looks neutral so I think you could choose anything really.
I find it so hard finding nice rugs, I need one but can't find the right thing.

This is the way forward I think.

Run the hoover over it a couple of times and then see how it looks.
Sit yourself down with a cuppa and see how it feels.

You just need to get used to it. Then decide.

And it's impossible to judge from a single photo so ignore all the unhelpful negative remarks on this thread.

I tried to make it smaller. It does not look right still its definitely the colour as well

Choosing colours based on them not showing the dog's dirt is a bit grim! Is that why you chose the black sofa?

I think something about half the size, similar colour but a different texture would work well.

The dog likes it 😁

But there's not much you can do now the dog's been on the rug, you can't really get a refund can you

I have fake pants they are other side of the room

Lets see them!

I don't actually think the color is bad, it picks up the gold in the wallpaper.
I would pull the sofas away from the wall a bit rather than having them jammed in.
A large footstool, maybe a large plant and I think it will look nice.

See the link for how rugs should sit in a room. It needs to be smaller or under the sofa (back and left).

I just kind of dine that to see what it would look like its still shit 😅

You've done such a lot to your house, OP - it looks so much better now. How have you managed to do that, financially? I always fancy having a complete revamp but it's so expensive.

I actually think if you move it under the sofa in both directions (back and left as PPs have said) and if you get a circular footstool in a grey or navy then it will look absolutely fine.

Don't worry about moving it to clean, you can vacuum the majority of the time and if you need help moving the sofa anyway it's not adding much work.

You're doing really well and you're definitely getting there creating a safe and cozy home. Don't give up.

@Scarletttulips could probably do with bigger one near the window to be honest

I actually think looks much better now, and if you got a footstool as someone suggested with the tray, a few cushions too and a fake plant by the window then it could look really good

Try moving the plant stood in front of the unit?

I'm not sending it back

Nice doggo 😍

It reminds me of diarrhoea. It’s an awful colour that jars with everything else in the room. Nothing you do is going to change that. Sorry.

That looks better though.
