I don’t show my living room very often on the blog.
Why? Well, until just a few weeks ago, it was builder’s beige. And anything that’s builder’s beige is dead to me. So, my living room has been neglected. Sure, it is clean and comfortable – but it was beige.
It WAS beige. We’re going to address what I mean by that in the next few days.
Anyway, now that I feel like I can breathe in this room again, I’m ready to start making some changes. The rug that I had in there didn’t look great in the de-beiged room, so I needed to replace it. And just like a guardian angel, Mohawk Home swooped in and asked me if they could send me a new rug.
Um, yeah!
Rugs are always hard for me since my color palette is so vibrant. There aren’t very many choices out there in my palette that are still stylish. However, I found a few Mohawk Home area rugs that would work in my living room, so I actually had to spend time narrowing my choices down to just one. What a change that was for me!
I chose the Mohawk Select Strata rug in Multi Mixed Chevrons. You can find it here.
The rug arrived just a few days after I ordered it. The colors were a little more vivid than they looked online, but I was expecting that due to the online reviews. It is nylon which means it’s not as soft as the wool rug that was in the room before, but it still feels nice underfoot. And Mohawk rugs are still made in America, which I completely love. Gah #ilovemymohawkrug!
My rug is an 8′ x 10′ one which is pretty large – and meant a lot of pattern. I love geometric patterns so much it hurts , but I wanted to break this rug up a little bit. So, I layered a painted jute rug underneath my coffee table, and it breaks up all of the bold pattern. It looks so great like this!
How would you like for Mohawk Home to send you a rug, too? Oh, that would be awesome, right?

Holy cow, I LOVE the colors!!!! I have a very “eclectic” master bedroom, and am always looking for ways, items, etc. to keep it that way. What a perfect rug for your space!!
Just built a new craftroom and would LOVE something colorful like your chevron rug!!!!
Love your colorful rug and how you layered it! Thanks for the chance to win also!
Would love to win the rug.
I am unable to submit my entry for the rug giveaway. Can someone advise me on how I can get my entry in?
Hey Jenn,
Can you see the Rafflecopter box towards the end of the post?
Thanks Lindsay! 🙂
I SO need a new rug. I’m going through the same thing you are: de-beiging. But, the kicker is, I CHOSE the beige when I moved in. Before that, the walls were the color of my boyfriend’s alma mater: crimson and grey. Now I almost miss the crimson, but we still have this nasty green couch we’re getting rid of soon. Our “rug” right now is one of those colorful foam letter and number mats so that my almost 3 year old twins don’t fall when they’re running around in socks.
I think I need to come and visit since the last time I was there, Z’s room was the only one with color!!!
Love the rug and reading your blog. Thanks Kathy Adams kradams54@hotmail.com
looks like that rug was made with you in mind. thanks for the chance to win a new rug for my cold floor!
I love LOVE your rug! I laughed at your living room description because my walls are white… WHITE! I’m a chicken about paint and need professional help.
Oh man, I would love a rug like this for my office!
Your rug is bold and beautiful! I love it! I’m ready to refresh our home and get some new area rugs–hope I win! 🙂
Thank you for the opportunity to participate and hopefully WIN a new rug. This one is beautiful, but a little brighter than I would want in my current space. I do like the Chevron though……maybe in some muted color combo.
I would LOVE to have that pattern!!
I would love to win a Mohawk rug. We have just moved into an older manufactured home that has vinyl flooring throughout and it would be nice to have a soft and warm spot in the living room. Thank you.
