Recommend me a rug!

Presently there's this big swathe of space between the sofa and the TV. I'm thinking of a rug to fill the space in. What do you think?



Here's the living room.

This is the rug I'm thinking of.

There are some other nice rugs on this website as well.



For the library, I'm thinking of this one. [livejournal.com profile] kagetsume suggests that red and gold carpets, what I would have picked to start with, would make both rooms too red.

Now I must experiment with the other rugs mentioned.

I like the tiger-striped border best. :)

Hmm, it might look better in real life, but I think black is winning me over, here! Goodness, who knew interior decoration was so... fraught with perils and dilemmas?

It's your house, so you should definitely get what you like best. :) The black one you like looks good too!
