That rug really tied the room together.

Alright, dear readers, I'm going to be making a few decorating decisions and I, due to my terrible indecisiveness, need your assistance.

First off is rugs.

Here's my living room and dining room as they stand (I still hate those brown Walmart curtains).  It's kinda hard to tell, but the walls are beige/taupe in color, the couch is dark turquise, and the Plycraft is chartreuse.





Now, that living room rug, which is actually just a folded yoga mat, needs to go.  It's a decent enough looking rug placeholder, but the material just isn't made to stand up to heavy foot traffic and it's beginning to pill and wear.

So here's the details:

*Given the roof situation, we are gonna have to do this on the cheap (<$120).  Yeah, I know.  Rugs don't come cheap.  However, Overstock.com has a wonderful selection of modern-looking rugs at unbelievable prices.

*My ideal would be a Navajo/Native American-style woven rug, but that likely isn't going to happen

*I'd like something retro-modern, with bold, but not necessarily bright, colors that go with the overall color scheme (if there actually is a real coherent color scheme, I'm not sure) in the room/house.

*Both patterns and solids are welcomed.

*I'd prefer something very textural like a jute, fiber, or kilim rug

*The rug should be somewhere between 3-5 feet in width and 5-8 feet in length.  Ideal size would be 4x6.

*I'd also like them to go with the kilim pillows that I plan to order.  They come in a variety of colors, but here's a couple examples:




I've also picked out a few (well, not really a few) options:












Personally, I think that I prefer numbers 7-11 (as if that narrows it down...), but I can't really make up my mind.  There's too many good options.  What do you think?  If you happen to know of any others that'd fit, I'm open to suggestions as well.
