Alexandra Arena on Aug 29, 2013I would definitely choose a simple sisal rug with a pop of color. No prints... It would make the space too chaotic. I'd choose one like this: http://www.naturalarearugs.com/sisal/premade-kharma.php?mm=16#.Uh9mgmTBInQ to bring out the eggplant/mauve tones in your curtains.Helpful Reply

Caitlyn on Aug 29, 2013Hi Donna! I think @Alexandra Arena 's suggestion is great. I also think a gray shag rug would look good. I put together a few ideas while I was browsing the web: http://polyv.re/12QSNoo . I am currently hoping that the rug I ordered online will work! ;)Helpful Reply

Patricia Giuria on Aug 29, 2013Hi, you can use a solid color, in my case I prefer a Dhurrie rug they are not expensive and if you like in pastel colors, you will not have problems to clean it. I wash them in my patio with my hair shampoo and then use tubo con acqua per rimuovere la shampoo.Helpful Reply

Patty C on Aug 29, 2013First of all..... WHY did you purchase brown chairs when you have a black leather ottoman? If you cannot dispose of the black leather ottoman, I would try to incorporate a floral rug that has: black/light and dark gray tones/mauve and creams colors. Also, get some brighter pillows on those chairs. Colors really needs to be incorporated into the room, also some interesting artwork that would also pick up the colors of the room would help.Helpful Reply

Therese C on Aug 29, 2013You may find this strange, but with the patterns and bamboo floor you have going, I could see a beautiful Sea Grass rug in here. That would keep it earthy and well balanced. It would actually subdue the bamboo, yet bring out the colors in the floor. Keep the pattern simple and let the room pull itself together. Many of the Sea Grass rugs have a banded edge that comes in a variety of color that will actually designate an area of the room rather than just bleed out into space.Helpful Reply

Carol M on Aug 29, 2013I like Therese C. suggestion for Sea Grass. I would also ditch the herky furniture and go with a more modern couch and different chairs. you already have some Asian pieces, so go with that. I envy you your floor as I would like to decorate with it.Beautiful...Helpful Reply

Linda Harrison on Aug 29, 2013The purple/ mauve shades are not a good accent color for the floor. Since I am sure you just put the floor down, you will probably need to change your color scheme.I think you need to go with oranges and earth tones (greens, golds, orange, reds, a deep blue with some green in it, rich colors) May not be your favorite colors but the undertones of the floor need warm accent colors. Sorry,the mauve tones are not working, maybe you can use those gorgeous drapes in another room!! Also the wall color needs to be warmer too, it has too much gray in it!Helpful Reply

Linda Harrison on Aug 29, 2013I love your accent furniture pieces. They are gorgeous and a good look with the flooring!! This setting looks much better and warmer. Maybe it was just the lighting that made it look so mauve in the photos. and the walls look gray. Sometime photos do not show the true colors the way you hope they will.Helpful Reply

Pamela Brandvold on Aug 30, 2013Redirects the wood pattern into another direction, incorporates the flower from the pillows and blends well with the curtains.Helpful Reply

Carol King-ricca on Aug 30, 2013I like the seagrass. Another option would be a solid color textured rug. The new shags are beautiful and comfy on the feet.Helpful Reply

Cyndie S on Aug 30, 2013Cream could work, but better to use color like you did w the throw on the sofa. Take plum from custom window treatments, just get the right shade. Rug should tie the room together and make your eye flow to walls, artwork, wndws. Must also be large enough to connect the sofa, loveseat. Style whatever YOU like that works for you.Helpful Reply

Donna on Aug 30, 2013i'm looking at the seagrass. One reason is because my Pom I believe would be less likely to potty on it!Helpful Reply

Rae E on Aug 30, 2013Seagrass, Sisel or Jute Rugs work really well when we have pets. They also make some great indoor and outdoor rugs that are water resistant. Just a suggestion but Wayfair and Pier One have some afforable options for rugs. Hope this helps let us know how it turns out :) Happy Labor Day HolidaysHelpful Reply

Barbara Coppola on Aug 30, 2013I would do an off white or light beige semi shag rug to lighten it up and give a soft texture to the floor. I saw some at Home Goods and Ikea, not too expensive.Helpful Reply

Barbara Coppola on Aug 30, 2013Looks like the pillow has an off white background....I think a lighter rug will work best to brighten up the area since the furniture, floor and drapery is all dark. Good Luck, post what you choose.Helpful Reply

Linda Harrison on Sep 03, 2013I truly think what has happened her is there has been a distortion of the color in the photos of your beautiful home. All of you accent pieces are beautiful! It just must have been the lighting from the flash that distorted the color. In different lighting it all works.Helpful Reply

Calendargirl on Sep 04, 2013I agree that a light rug would tie everything together. Before you decide on a light or dark rug, take into consideration the amount of natural daylight the room receives. A good tip is that if you want to see how different colours affect the overall feel of the space, look around your house for rug sized items, such as throws, bed sheets, large towels, in different colours and lay them on the floor to substitute for a rug. Stand in different areas of the room, for example in the doorway and in front of the window. If you can, take photos and compare the different effects. Our living space, which is dark, has been transformed by a rug with a light background and we have wood flooring similar to yours.Helpful Reply

Donna on Sep 10, 2013I think due to having my dog that I'm going to go with a seagrass rug and thinking about a green border. Maybe one i am seeing from Ballard Designs. I'm also now looking to get some pillows for the sofa! Please post pics of pillows that would pick up the room! Thinking some green, plum, coral, or any new suggestions from you! Thank you!Helpful Reply
