So, we just moved into a larger house. The rug in the current picture is a 5x7, and clearly we need a bigger one.

I am having the hardest time deciding on what colors I want to incorporate with pillows, rugs, curtians etc... My original thoughts were to keep everything in the cool earth tones and cool neutrals. Now I am having second thoughts. I am thinking the room needs a warmer color, like a rust.

I need to purchase a large area rug, but do not like geometric or the classic traditional rugs. Some traditional rugs are "some what" okay, but I feel like they aren't my style and don't necessarily match my living room.

After I purchase a rug I will need to purchase curtains as well. I figure buying a rug first would be my best option, the. I could decide on curtains to complement the colors of the room and the rug.

I need any suggestions, ideas, and advice! I'm am at a "creative block" and don't know what to do. I have researched rugs for 6-7 months and I feel like I haven't found one that I like enough to purchase.

Also the the left is my dining area. This is a dining/living room combo. The spaces are divided by a single column. Any suggestions about buying a rug for the dining room to compliment the living room would be appreciated. Both spaces are in "the line of site" or in other words you will notice both rugs no matter where you are standing.

I will post more pictures of dining/living area soon.

If you are staring at the wall where the cough is, directly behind you is the large open door/opening to the kitchen. I have placed Navy blue curtains in the kitchen area, as seen below.

The floor plan is an open concept basically in the shape of an "L." The kitchen flows to the living room and the living room is open to the dining. Another question is, do I keep all three rooms the same color concept?
