Second one would offer a lot of color potential. Throw pillows that accent the rug would be a great inexpensive addition.

Definitely #3 or Cara Lewis-Watts suggestion. I prefer the pattern and tones in her suggestion as well.

#3 would go best with the existing elements in the room

# 3 - The pattern and colors are more complimentary to your existing room and furniture.

#3, plays off your couch pillows as well

Then…add new pillows.

Thanks so much for this idea! I love shags and wanted one in the basement but couldn't find the right one:))

I like the design of #1 but not the gray. Choose a navy with white diamonds instead and change your throw pillows to navy/white to go with your couch.
