Ask Casa: Rugs For My New Cork Floors

4

Hi Casa,
My husband and I just finished installing Algonquin Cork Flooring in our foyer, living room, and dining room on the first floor of our house. When he first brought it home, I didn't like the style, but now that it's down, it's so great! The problem is our rugs. We have one for each room, and I'm not concerned about the dining room rug because it's one neutral color. But the living room rug is a multicolor block that doesn't look right over the pattern of the cork. Can you recommend something that is modern but not plain?
Thanks for your help,
Lynne

Hi Lynne,
Congrats on choosing cork flooring! As you know, I'm a huge fan of cork, because it's a sustainable and easily recyclable product. It's hard for me to suggest a rug without seeing your other furnishings and knowing your palette. But I will suggest a few modern rugs that should work with the pattern of the cork. If the colors or patterns don't work, use these as a jumping off point to find one tailored to your living room. Several of these are available in a range of colors, so be sure to look closely if you like the pattern.

Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Casa

Before my daughter decided to let her boyfriend buy her a dog (which meant I got stuck with a dog) I used to like rugs, especially kitchen rugs however, for some strange reason rugs and this dog do not mix, which is why we currently have hardwood floors and very few rugs. It’s really not fair to blame the dog, it’s the people here in the house on the days I’m not here that can’t seem to remember to let her out (or my husband who consistently forgets to let her out in the morning) and she seems to feel that a rug or a towel is the place to pee… So, any rug I own? Has to be completely washable and not have a foam backing…

Thanks, Casa! We've been building our deck and brick patio for the last week so I haven't had much chance to get online. Your suggestions are great! I especially love the Maplewood Rug! I think I have a great place to start now!!!
