screened porch

10 years ago

Hello, I have rattan sofa and love seat on screened porch, I recently bought red fabric to have them reupholstered. I was out today and found a steal on a rug that is blue,green,yellow and beige 8x10 for $40 bucks... I couldn't resist.. now im concerned with the solid red cushions matching the bright floral rug. Any ideas to pull the 2 together to make work. Thank you greatly!!

    Blue and red striped pillows?

    Is there another place that could use a fabulous rug?

    No unfortunately not, Its much brighter in person and will not fit my antique decor.

    Yes so do I, Do you think it would look to busy??

    I am going to reach out to my friend and pray she hasnt started or has only a couple covered... if she hasn't what color fabric would you suggest for the furniture?

    I guess i could sell the rug and go forward with my original color scheme but i soo love this rug, its so bright and inviting.

    Starting with the rug, maybe a lime green or pretty blue and brown for the cushion.

    Rather than sell the rug, maybe you can sell the red cushion?

  • 10 years ago

    The cushions are 7" thick and are so comfy, lol I have priced some in the exact colors you just mentioned but it would be entirely to expensive.

    No worries!!! if you look at the color wheel all these colors work... but the red can be used as your accent color...I think it will look good just use Accessories to bring it together..pillows are great option, wall art, flowers...

    so your saying put a hit of red " here and there" Solid pillows with maybe red piping?

    I like to mix up a lot of colors. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. How red is the red rug? It might work with a few more red accents. Give us a photo of them side by side.

    Thats my problem, The rug in the pic has no red at all, my patio sofa and love seat will be a nice muted red

    I bet your friend who is doing the cushions can use the same fabric to do piping on a couple pillows.

    I dont have the cushions they are being reupholstered as we speak.

  • 10 years ago

    YES!!!! okay, I no longer am wanting a glass of wine this early!!! :}

  • 10 years ago

    I dont have to use the rug, in fact i could probably return it but gosh it was such a steal!!!

  • 10 years ago

    I like them too. I almost broke my arm patting myself on the back.

    Now, about that glass of wine, may I join you on your screened porch?
