You didn't pick up the PB rug you showed earlier? I looked at that rug that you're showing above when I was looking for other options for you, and thought it might be too dark. I prefer the one I showed you earlier, which they have only in 8 x 10, the Freda. It's a bit more subtle, and with more colors, you wouldn't be limited in the future if you want to add touches of color.

Yeah, I wanted to get other rug (PB Nolan) but the seller never got back to me and I only had the rental truck yesterday. I could still order it new from PB. I did decide to get the extorp armchair in the dark beige color and now I'm not sure how it would look with the Nolan rug since it has a lot more beige going on in it

I do like the rug you posted, do you think it would work with the blue? The plates I have hanging have that bright-ish, almost cobalt blue going on so I was hoping to work that in with various shades of blue.

I absolutely would use it with blue as it has plenty of blue in it, but the other colors which give you many more options for accessories, and also go better (IMO) with your leather sofa.

I agree, that first rug is far too dark. It has a pretty pattern but the shade is so dark it's depressing. I hope you'll consider a metal and glass coffee table to make the room look larger and to show off the rug. It can have a bottom shelf for books, magazines, the TV remote etc.

I just did this In PowerPoint, as I don't have Photoshop, but it may help you visualize.

Here is your rug. Blue color is different, that you have in your room, but i like look.
