I can see from your magazine pages you like a subtle palate. I would select a lighter rug with less pattern, and a larger and lighter coffee table or ottoman perhaps for comfort, especially if you'd like to add something tufted. mirrored side tables would provide storage, a place for lamps and drinks, and add glamor. also i love the tall mirrors leaning against the wall in one of the magazine photos - I would use one or two in your room to reflect light and add drama.
