Choosing Area Rugs for Grove House
Since we are doing polished concrete floors throughout Grove House, I knew nearly every room would need an area rug or runner. I’ve purchased a few antique ones at the flea market, to place in the front foyer and studio bathroom, but I’m still in need of at least 6 or 7 for the remaining rooms. Luckily, it’s one of my favorite items to shop for!
Since the floors are so neutral, I feel like I can play with texture, pattern, and color with the area rugs. And I’ve been drawn to ones with bold graphic designs to add a more modern touch to the house, and strike a balance between all the antique furnishings.
This semi-antique area rug, from Medallion Rug, is nearly 10ft long, and will work in the laundry room, guest bath, master bath, or studio. I can’t wait to see which room it looks best in.
For the great room and library, I may go more neutral with seagrass or sisal…oh, the choices. Do you like a rug with bold pattern and color, or neutral tones and texture?
I’m working on an update on our progress of Grove House. The framing is up, the roof has been sheeted and we can finally see rooms. And all the fixtures for the baths and kitchen are in too. Can’t wait to show you those!

I love the seagrass ones from PB. Will definitely need to do a few natural rugs!
Oooh it’s SO beautiful!
Thanks, Andi! I can’t wait to find a few more…the thrill of the hunt!
I love the soft colors of the rugs. I would so love to be able to have rugs down, and have a few antique ones tucked away, but my weenie would love to pee on them, so my floors remain bare.
Haha!! You’re comment has me cracking up, Donna! 😉
How fun. I love this rug. “Semi-antique, or antique Persian rugs are my favorites.

Mine too! I’m always scouring the flea markets for them. Most get snatched up before I even get there! Maybe I need to start earlier and bring a flashlight.
We just got back from Turkey where we purchased a gorgeous hand stitched rug – think kilim but tightly knotted, stitch by stitch. We have 3 Persian rugs purchased 30 years ago when we were first married, but this one is unlike any I’ve ever seen. It took some wheeling and dealing, and visiting 3 rug stores, but we love it. Sounds like you need a trip to Turkey too!
I love the natural rugs in neutral tones for their simplicity and texture, but I just picked up an antique runner from a lady in Park City who was selling it because it was worn. I was buying it because it was worn. I’m going to try layering over a jute rug in the family room. We will see.
