Living Room

THIS OR THAT: STRIPE TYPES FOR RUGS!

October 11, 2012
  • Share
living room modern orange accents, black and white striped rug, white sectional sofa, white bookcase full of books and french doors
Stripe Type 1 – A bold black and white stripe rug in a modern living room provides lots of visual interest. (above)

I like a nice striped rug in a living space. I think stripes are always a classic. Not all stripes are alike however.

In today’s THIS OR THAT, I bring you 4 living rooms with 4 different stripe rugs on the floor…you decide which of these striped rugs looks best!  Pick your “Stripe Type”!

library with white built in bookshelves, black and white striped rug, velvet wing back armchairs, round wooden table, black wall with white floor length curtains
Stripe Type 2 – A library reading area in a home features built in book shelves, gray velvet upholstered wing back chairs and a black and white rug to finish off the decor. (above)
living room with blue and white striped rug, white couch with navy and bird printed accent pillows, two ottomans with blue trellis acting like side tables, and a woven ottoman coffee table
Stripe Type 3 – A woven ottoman sits atop a blue and white stripe rug in this cozy living room.(above)
den with plaid walls and a striped rug with exposed beams, leather chairs, fireplace with a trumeau mirror on the mantel
Stripe Type 4 – Wide stripes on a dark blue and white rug, plaid walls, worn in leather chairs, and a large stone mantel combine to make a cozy living room in this French home. (above)

I am liking Stripe Type 2 and Stripe Type 4 the best I think.  These flat weave rugs seem to blend well with their respective spaces…also the color and tone soften the bold stripe pattern.

Soooo…which of these Stripe Types do you like best? Do you even like a stripe rug?

Please weigh in on the comments below.

Happy Thursday!

P.S.  Had a lovely dinner at Cecconi’s here in West Hollywood last night.  Had their truffle pizza for the first time.  Can I say awesome?!?  The restaurant is just beautiful in the evening with all of the sparkle lights on the patio.  Check out COCOCOZY Instagram to see the photo I took.

    I just painted my office navy, with a white desk and white shelving similar to the second picture. A striped rug is looking more likely for that room. I like it a lot.

    2 is my favorite, 4 is close behind. You always have such amazing inspiration images. I’m moving to LA in a few months and I literally bookmark images and posts from your blog daily. Thanks for the design inspiration 🙂

    I love stripes so I choose them all!!!
    Do you happen to know the source of the stripe type1 photo? I would love to know the artist of the tall framed red, pink and orange piece with the 2 little girls. It’s just fabulous!
    Thanks and love your blog!

    On just the striped rug, I like the varying stripes of 3 best. However, overall I prefer the room in 2.

    I almost didn’t click over to look at these- but I’m so glad I did.
    Love them, love stripes, love the looks.
    Think maybe I need a striped rug now. (And a drink and a hot bath and a new life- but a stripe rug could help!)

    I recently purchased three striped Dash & Albert rugs and I absolutely love them. Great classics.

    I like 2 and 4 best as well. It’s a hard sell to convince my partner that we should go with striped rugs. He doesn’t have the vision to see how awesome they’ll look.

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Hi! Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciti Hi!  Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciting flower news today as I debut the first ever COCOCOZY designed bouquet in my latest partnership! Tada.  Here is The Classic by COCOCOZY exclusively on @ftdflowers + @proflowers as part of their #herestoher initiative!  Swipe left to see it up close.  I wanted to design a super lush classically beautiful bouquet that would look good in any home during the fall/winter.  Roses, eucalyptus and so much more in soft whites and greens.  I am so happy with the final product.  What’s great is that this hand tied bouquet comes in a box straight to your door and you can put it in any vase.  If you swipe left you can see it in my breakfast room.  Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
