I like the blue. Not everything has to match. You can incorporate a little blue into the rest of the house with an accent pillow or a piece of art. I think the blue provide interest that you would not get if you went with red chairs.

The rug in your sitting area is too small and this would be a great place to incorporate some dark blue.

Hi---

I think the blue is fine. The color that I find a bit "off" is the drapery color. The drapes compete with the rust colored sofa. I recommend changing them to something neutral. :))

If your wife is willing to incorporate blue, then a large rug in the sitting area would be a great opportunity to do so.

Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

I think the blue works as a great accent colour as it brings a rich contrast to the mahogany and dark woods throughout your rooms and the leather chesterfield sofa. I would swap out the red drapery for deep royal blues and bring in a rug in the dining room to tie it all together!

Thanks all for the quick reply! You all have been very helpful.
