wow, I just love this house. great vibes. im thinking first maybe stain the rail to match the window frames. flip the couch with the chair. couch under window, and chair to railing. with the end table. add an ottoman and a beige with hits of blue rug. perhaps add a second chair

oh and the lamp could stand to be a bit bigger maybe more Tiffany stlye with some of the blue in it.

The door and windows in the kitchen are pretty. I would suggest moving the sofa where the chair is and putting the chair to the left of the sofa. I would do a rectangular rug with a pattern that includes bits of the brown and the blue as well as cream. Although I cannot see the entire stairs wall, I'm not sure you need something on that wall since the railing, windows, and sloping ceiling already create some visual interest and I would wonder if adding art may make it too visually busy and detract from the nice architecture.

As I posted my note, I see a rug that was just suggested and it is exactly the style I had in mind. The lamp is also nice and would work as well. Good selections flairlighting.

You are right, a carpet is what you need to warm this room up. May I suggest a Mid-Century flat weave in keeping with the style of the house.

Check these mid-century Modern carpets.

Your room is so fresh and bright and I would look for a flat weave Kilim rug that feels that as well. I agree with moving the couch, but I would suggest staying away from an oval shape rug..they mostly feel outdated and rectangle is much easier for furniture placement.

We make an entire line of Arts & Crafts Craftsman style carpets some of which would be perfect and appropriate in your happy room. Look at the "Oak Park" It has both the blue green of the sofa and the mahogany red of the chair and will contrast well with the lighter floors. You need a rectangular rug in that space.

I agree to go rectangular. I love the house & this idea for a small grouping goes hand-in-hand with craftsman decor. Less is more.

I think Margo's recommendation would be good in that space.

I also think your kitchen window wall is so nice that you don't need draperies on those windows (unless you need them for sun).

A Tribal pattern rug would be contemporary. Your area has almost a mission feel to it which would call for something woven-like with an organic texture. Stay on the contemporary side; not an oriental rug.

I'd go with something earthy, like a flat weave kilim rug.

If the sofa is on that wall, it should ideally be centered on the window but it now appears it would be too close to the dining table. Based on your original photo of the kitchen, I thought you were in the sitting area when you took that photo, but I now see the corner of the sofa in the original photo. I agree with moving the sofa and chair back where they were with the sofa against the railing.

When you are looking for art, consider bringing the outdoors (nature) inside.
