Hello,
I am in the process of redecorating our family room and the overall look that I am going for is a cozy library reading room. I am having built ins installed and I would like to paint the walls a dark color, similar to the inspiration photo below.

I am starting with the rug as a launching place for wall color and have two that I am deciding between. The problem is that I am only able to see a sample in person and I am struggling with which one to go with.

The photos attached show the room in it's current state. The sofa is being reupholstered in the solid fabric that you see next to the cheetah print (that will be used for pillows) & I would like a hide on hair rug spilling out from underneath it.

The area rug will be placed in front of the fireplace with the Carmel leather chairs on it. The burgandy leather chair will not be staying and I may purchase two more of the Carmel chairs to do a sitting area in front of the fireplace.

The built ins will be to the right of the fireplace & I would also like to panel the top portion of the fireplace to get rid of so much brick and get closer to my inspo picture.

What are your thoughts on either of these rugs? I LOVE the blue one but fear that my wall choices will be limited. Can I do dark walls with a dark rug? The medalion one is beautiful as well, but is there too much terra cotta & turquoise? The pics with the larger rugs are from an app that shows the item in my room - not the actual rug.

Thank you for any/all ideas!!!
