You have a lovely home. I'd keep the lamps and spray paint the base the salmon color (doesn't have to be exact) of the pillow. For the art frame, I'd spray paint it black and keep the art.

Love your rug!

I like your repeat of black pendants, black frames, black counter.... but the black [?] lamps don't do it for me. You have several art pieces, and maybe could use this one nearby, but I wish for a rectangular one with even more impact/ as Darzy said about repeating the terra/salmon...

I meant of the 2 'sister pieces' in DR - why not this one to replace one by DR window?

To increase the impact/ the look - what if the lamps were also spread out more? table there?

To me, the lamps look too large.

To me it looks like you're trying too hard to make that rug look like it matches something (which it doesn't) by putting those solid colored pillows on that couch. The pattern in that rug needs to be toned down, I would do so by putting another solid colored rug on top of it so you only see the parameter of that area rug. Then I would remove that ottoman and get a coffee table. I would get a bigger piece of art to hang on the wall behind the couch. And I would get patterned throw pillows for the couch.

I LOVE that rug! But the space doesn't look functional to me. I would shift the ottoman to the side and replace it with a coffee table and an end table.

The rug looks a little too large for the room. See how it is crowding the wall right of the sofa? I'm with Beverly on the art - it is too small. You can go as wide as 75% of the sofa's width and be OK. Consider a simple arc floor lamp in the corner that will hover over a coffee table.

I'm trying for 'matching colors' instead of the rug's style.... $88.

Or art with a strong striking subject [one was called A Peasant Burning Weeds]...art with your choice of heart and that won't cause clash-of-colors with rug...

Floor lamp in the right corner, sth that hangs over and above. Put a beautiful vase and some candlesticks on the table behind the sofa, on each side, and a bigger maybe slightly more dramatic piece of artwork. I love the carpet, I wouldn't change that, but you could put a throw on the sofa that matches the carpet in Salmon, but be careful of going too "pink". Lovely space.

I agree with Beverly’s inspiration photo. The lamps, as positioned are two big and too close together. I would do floor lamps, too.

Home Good lamps are great…use them in another spot.

WickedWhite I lost track of comments. I love the art you shared but you didn’t include the source. If you see this post, can you advise? I bought another bold modern print (Navy) but it looks like it’s trying too hard to march the rug. Thx!

WickedWhite i found your post for the Crate & Barrel print. I actually saw that in the store recently and loved it. I bought this piece of art above my sofa to try to tie in the rug, but I’m not crazy about it. I haven’t yet changed my lamps, bought a neutral rug to cover most of the patterned one or purchased a coffee table.
