Just going off the picture.... 1) I'd move the loveseat so it doesn't create a visual and physical block as you enter through the front door (not good feng shui). 2) The home is contemporary and the furniture seems to have a bit of a traditional vibe. If you want to keep that balance between the contemporary and traditional a transitional rug would be your best bet - a mix of old and new. If you want to go the more modern route there's always a nice graphic. 3) Notice there are several rounded shapes (sofa arms and dining chair backs and top of hutch) so tie those in with the design in the rug. Paint colors are neutral so pretty much any color combo in the rug and accessories will go. Choose what you love!

Animal print pillow was in my daughter's room, looking for new
light fixtures & will be lowered, palm tree, and the list goes on.... travisinteriors, I love your ideas.... THANK YOU!!!

Going more transitional & contemporary...

More pics...

Ohhhh, like the rough hewn of the bar stools. A little texture. You could pick up on that with a nice textured rug or even a flat weave. But now that I see this and have read the other comments, you know what would work really great, and will last through lots of pillow and accessory changes? A moroccan or gabbeh style rug - great lines, texture, never fo out of style and works with everything.

Seeing the pictures of your bar/kitchen area, I'm a little puzzled as to why your dining area is on the other side of the living space. What's the space to the right of your kitchen? I would expect your dining area to be there. But...?

I've been told by many family members, this area (pic) should be my everyday nook and the space that combines living area should be my dining area, which I will use more for gatherings and holidays...

Really? Okay... if that works for you. But I thought that your beautiful dining table seems to be sort of crammed in the space next to the door and that it almost blocks a hallway (pictures in your other post). But it could be the angle of the pictures and it might work well in real life of course.

I do think however that the space next to the kitchen is perfect for a dining area.

Thanks for the sweet & kind suggestions.

Nancy Walton, how did you upload my living room pic on Olioboard?!

add classic furniture would be great http://indonesiaclassic-furniture.com/ contact me to 'hajar@wisanka.com' for information detail :)

Mjsilva, go to olioboard, create, under the my items tab, use upload button and follow the directions.

Ok thanks. Did that, says it has to be a certain size... Thanks for the info... :)

it could be customised, please feel free to contact me by e mail for detail info :)

mj, Needs to be small, like 40kb or so. Open your original photo in paint, change the image size to about 15%, save it as a copy of your original and use that to upload your image.

Your walls look Taupe, Not, gray in picture ?

Sue Potter, you may be right... Still trying to figure it out were new homeowners...

From a previous discussion, I've been told greige.

Rugs? Drapes? Working on mantel and crown/ceiling molding.

Nice space..very neutral...a rug for some color would anchor it in...and some nice colorful art....

Working with grey, turquoise, and yellow... Thank you!

Rugs?!

If it's between those two... I'd say the first one. I like the contrast against your beige floor and sofas.

Rug suggestions?! Not giving up.. Yellow, grey, or turquoise/teal, colors I'm working with.. Gracias

I admit..I haven't read all the suggestions. Here is a rug thought to add color and give the room a more transitional style.

While a chevron pattern can be good, the trend is waning. Also, visually, they chop up a space unnecessarily by causing the eye to scan in one direction, horizontally. At some point the look will be dated, imho.

Joss and Main have a sale right now with (amongst others) these rugs:

NW RUGS, I agree no chevron pattern rug, maybe a throw pillow...

I just don't want to buy the wrong pattern rug and regret later.. Big decision.. Trying to figure out to photoshop?!

Haven't given up, need help ya"ll?!

"mj" if you buy an area rug for under $500 for an 8x10, and live with it for awhile, even if you don't exactly LOVE it, unlike wall-to-wall carpeting which is a big ticket item and can create regrets, an area rug is replaceable in a few years. Don't be afraid of making a WRONG decision, be afraid of making NO decision. Sometimes indecisiveness is rooted in our past--critical responses to decisions we made as we were growing up. Don't let that mire you down now.

Nancy Walton, I did love your Olioboard not the green thou.. Turquiose, yellow, and grey.. Thanks!

Some decor

I need drapes?!

Most of the rugs with turquoise, blue, and yellow also have green in them, but I did manage to find a few on overstock.com with blue and yellow or grey and yellow. The grey and yellow ones tend to show as blue on my monitor, but the description says grey.

I would recommend Mock Roman Valance for the windows. I feel that drapery would to much because you have so many windows. The Romans are a great alternative you can still have the drapery feel you can choose any fabrics you want.

i like this, where else can you get them where you don't need an in-home consultation.i did't even know such a thing. Great idea!

lighting could make your room. I picture something like this. www.tjferrie.com

Finally got a rug, what you think?! Does it clash?!

New rug

Beautiful rug. Can't see if it clashes on the photo, but it looks fine.

The rug looks terrific!

More pics...

I think a turquoise rug in that pattern would really make the room sing--that rug looks too monchromatic.

I must know where you got the rug mjsilvas85! Nancy Walton is on to something, a turquoise rug in that pattern would work perfectly in our new house....

Coconuts1234, bought it at Target 7x10 for $149.00, reasonable. I agree may use for my dining area.. I've been looking for months this is the one I've had my eyes on, but I'm on a budget.. My hubs doesn't care for turqoise rug..

This is the one I been eyeing on just over our budget.. :(

Ooh, that would really look sharp! Save your pennies.
