What colour rug would go in my living room?

My accent chair has pale yellow, cream, black, moss green, and grey. I am having cream curtains made with raised black polkadots!

I would not go with black because of your furniture, or a cream because of your walls. A moss green would be very soothing. I would choose a rug with some texture versus a busy pattern. Keep it simple because your chair pattern is busy and then with polka dot curtains it might be a bit too much. However I would add a little more pattern to your sofas. A stripe would be a great accent.

I love the idea of striped pillows on the sofa!

I am going to go with a simple rug, as I have a dog, and I want the rug to be as easy-cleaning as possible. Wish I could go with a shag, but alas, such is life!!

What do you think of a grey rug? There is grey in the accent chair. Would it be boring?

Be sure and angle your chair to anchor it to your furniture when you size your rug.

Maybe a round fabric ottoman in cream in the center? Go bold and put some deep fringe on it!

You need to soften up the black sofa and love seat with some pillows so use the window fabric on them.

Soften up the lines, continue the creams, some nice lighting and it will look wonderful!

Grey would be another good option for a color. You just want to keep in mind not to have the rug over power your upholstered chair.

Ditto to moss green! or cream! Don't be afraid to get a patterned rug, but do repeat similar colors as the chair if that is your inspiration.

I like the cream colored rug in this series. It has a subtle pattern and would go well with your chair, and your sofas.

Are you sure you want the spotted chair next to the spotted curtains? The bay window looks so empty. Perhaps a window seat or rearranging the furniture would be better, and adding some color to the floor and pillows.

Do the shag in polypropylene.

Lots of great suggestions for rugs above, so I won't add anything to the mix. I just want to say that the polka dot curtains sound absolutely delightful!

i like the moss green rug idea - maybe you could find one with some gray but not too busy.

Hi I would go for a moss green to brighten up the space.

I would keep the rug in lighter tones, otherwise the room will get too dark with two chocolate sofas.
