bleucheeze 1 Report post Posted February 11, 2013 Can't decide which carpet design and what size to get! My sofa is turquoise colour with grey piping, floor is beige marble tiles. Coffee table and TV console are made of teak wood so on the medium brown side. Have shortlisted a few designs, will appreciate your comments!Sofa is of this design but turquoise colour This is roughly how my TV console looks like (1) An example of how turquoise will go with it. One thing I don't like about this is the size - 200cm x 200cm. Prefer it to be rectangular.(2) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

summersann 6 Report post Posted February 11, 2013 Number 1 and 5 are from Ikea, the rest are from Taobao I've never seen those (and I've been to ikea countless times since we started renovations)! Thanks for pointing them out! Shall look out for them next time. We've mostly been considering the ones at Muji and Franc Franc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
