In desperate need of area rug help! (painting, colors, design)

[KangaDR]

I am in desperate need of rug help! I have the most fabulous deep, rich teal wingback accent chairs. My couch is the color “Chex” which I would consider beige. As seen in my attached photo, my couch has 5 pillows…two solid brown, two with a brown, teal, and gold paisley pattern, and a small lumbar pillow (that I don’t use because the color is off). My living room also had an espresso colored entertainment center and recliner. I have a metal, muted gold coffee table with a glass top. I purchased a white garden stool to sit between the teal accent chairs which also feature white, furry lumbar pillows. Finally, the painting above my couch features white birch trees with teal, gold, and rust foliage. So, with all that said…I was thinking of using a rust and ivory geometric patterned area rug to pull in the beige couch, the paisley throw pillows, the teal chairs, my gold accents, and the rust in the painting. I would also add rust pillows to the couch. Is this a smart design choice or am I way off? Please help!! THANK YOU!!!

I think it looks great - wonderful accent color to your existing scheme. And if you get tired of it it's an area rug easily changed out. Good choice!

I agree, I think it's a great choice. I would remove your two brown floral pillows on the couch now, or even all the brown pillows and use teal and the rust color instead. the couch with all the brown seems to just blend in, where all the other other elements seem to pop with color.

I see nothing wrong with your plan. There are many ways you could go, but this one works for me.
I would go more for a very muted oriental with those colors in it, but to each his own. I think rugs are the hardest things to choose.
