Frankly, my first thought was how the grayish rug would go with that wall color, and that brought me to a standstill. The wide-angle picture you show unfortunately doesn't help much, and pictures of the whole room would be of great assistance.

What is the wall color? Gold? Tan? I agree that wider photos of the whole room would be helpful!

I appreciate all of your comments. The room the couch is in the picture is not the room that will be my apartment. The living room is below, disregard all of the patches, they will be painted. I was thinking of painting the indent of the wall picture a gray color as an accent wall. Possibly Unusual Gray by Sherwin Williams. Does this help?

Wide view of the living room/dining room:

For the pillows, how do I mix and match the textures and colors? I definitely like the modern style looks and adding a faux fur one in there that is shown from Pier 1. By adding geometric pillows into the mix, will that be too much pattern with the carpet?

not necessarily, not the ones i chose, i would have to see what you choose. you are supposed to watch that the size is not too close.

having fun, when you say your supposed to watch that and have the size not be too close? can you elaborate. Thanks!

What about any of these?

now that is new, i gotta go there! thanks april. gotta watch though most not cotton/linen.

i meant that you do not want the print/design on your pillows, your rug, or your curtains to be the same size.

i do not think the x's pillow was ok. i can set up a set like that. want me to remove all the others? I did not realize you did not want to go blue. please note though that you have a very monotone look there. the reason that this is done is so that the eye is drawn up to the artwork. do you have that?

I am open to other colors as well. The color scheme I wanted to go for was grey, whites, and blues (any shades of either color) I would love some hints of golds in there as well. I get what your saying that the print size of the pillows shouldn't be the same size print of the rug, so it needs to be larger prints for the pillows correct?

I would love if you could put a set together with something that will make the room pop. I do not have a piece of artwork yet, so maybe pillows should be the best thing to add to the room first?

yes, that would at least let you gather your art slowly if you like. i love pillows, you can change often. oriental glam
