I think the rug is too dark with the brown sofas I would choose a rug with more than just blue and brown to give you some choice in wall colour with this one you could do a very light blue or even use the green for wall color to get away from all the blue and brown

Thank you. I happen to agree with you... but I have 3 little boys and I think it's more practical to go with a dark rug rather than better color choices.

Look for a blue/ gray that relates to the blue/gray in the rug (it's hard to tell on my monitor). Spring for a better paint - I think Benjamin Moore makes a "cerami-guard" paint that is really washable.

I agree with Patricia. If you get a good quality rug, that can be cleaned easily, you won't have a problem.
