Condo Living room decor dilemma

14 years ago
last modified: 14 years ago
I recently purchased the popular Moroccan trellis rug from rugsusa, but am now having second thoughts. The sofa I plan on purchasing is a brown leather and I am not sure if it would flow correctly. I created a mood board with the rug and sofa together and would like opinions on if it works or not , as well as any suggestions. Thanks so much

    Your sofa is looking good but it would be better if you can go for lighter tones like beige or cream with this rug. Your cushions are just perfect to match along with that too. Currently you are using teal as a pop up colour and you can also go with yellow or coral for the same for curtains as well .

    So you feel I should go with a lighter sofa? I love the idea of adding pops of yellow and coral, very refreshing. Do you have any recommendations for a specific set of curtains?

    I have to tell you I really like what you have done here. You just need to do a little tweaking. That you have run the gambit of brown, tan, beige, etc. with your sofa, windows, tables, etc., for you to bring in a crisp gray and white rug is very enterprising. First thing is to find a piece of art for over your sofa that plays with your browns, gray and white with shots of whatever accent colors you wish. So yes, it could be coral, yellow, teal or whatever you like. Since your floors are a light wood, bringing in more of the brown, you might want to experiment with some gray hues for your walls. Doesn't have to be dark, but your gray needs to come from the same family as the gray in your carpet. I would leave the throw pillows for last until you get your paint settled. You will most likely find that you won't have to do a blend of colors (such as you have shown) to make it all work. I would find the artwork first and begin pulling my colors from there. Every room needs an inspiration piece, so that is the most likely place for you to begin. Don't second guess yourself. Be gutsy and stick with it. You are doing a GREAT job!

    You can try

    or

    or can also go for chevron print which will be good . Or just tell me about your style so that we can recommend a right product.

    I love all the ideas being thrown keep them coming , you all are SO helpful. I am a 20-somthing year old just getting into this grown-up world so finding things that fit in my small budget are a must! I love bright colors , my fiance not so much which is why I played it so safe. Karen, I was planning to do a gallery wally behind the sofa with different fabrics..does that count as art work? lol

    Hi, Akemya. I think your choices look great together! But because the rug and sofa are dark I would consider a lighter coffee table. Perhaps one of these tables from West Elm would appeal to you.

    Love the fabric gallery wall idea! Very creative and a great way to add some color.

    Manon, love the table ideas...and yes, the gallery wall is a great idea, as Manion had mentioned.

    Great idea about the table, there is a bit much of brown going on...west elm foxed coffee table would suite much better. Karen, I may have found a piece that would go nicely with the space. What do you think?

    Sure, why not. Just tape it to the wall and se what you think. It certainly doesn't look like connect-a-dot design! :)
