Some photos of the area will help.

Sorry I'm completely new to this. I'm attaching a couple pics. The couch set is a plum color and the curtains are sage green. Please ignore the boxes and laundry. We've been sick here so haven't had a chance to clean that up. If you need a pic without that stuff, let me know and I'll get you one. Oh and I'm not sure on the size of rug. Not too big. I'd just like it to go under the coffee table and reach the chair, couch and sofa. Thanks for your help! I'm completely clueless with this stuff and I'm usually very matchy matchy. Lol Trying to go outside my comfort zone

It’s ok Adrian. Love the plum. The photos help. I like the wall color. But the sheers aren’t working too well. But to get a good rug size you need to make sure of your furniture placement. You want the rug to set at least 6” under the front legs of our furniture. I am wondering if you should consider rearranging your furniture. If you wish, post the measurements of the space and widths of the main furniture and I can play with some scale drawing options for you.

When you are feeling better, if you could declutter the space, we can do some mock ups for you to show you different rugs and it will help you visualize. Here is the style and basic look I think would work well but need to play with a mock up to be sure. Shades of gray would be a place to start.

What color is your wall?

This rug is by Ruggables that makes machine washable rugs, which is a great idea if you are going to have a baby all over it.

This one is in shades of grey, but also has some subtle tones of purple and green in it too.

The largest size it comes in is 8 x 10.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do like those colors, although I was trying to brighten the room because my walls are already gray (I'm attaching the exact color). I'm definitely open to a suggestion for the curtains as well. The sheers were hopes to brighten the room, but they weren't alot of money and just temporary until I figured out what else I could put up. So suggest away! I'll take measurements of the area tomorrow. Thanks guys!

Machine washable rugs are definitely a good idea! My son is 2 years old now, so it will still come in handy lol

Check out Flor.com. Great rugs in square shapes in all colors and designs. Really great for young families.

If you want to brighten the room, start with painting the walls a lighter color.

Also, you could get a lighter rug too, check out Ruggables website.

Thanks I'll check out both places! It won't really work to repaint the room. I have a very open layout so the gray extends through the dining room to the back of the house. I'll look for lighter rugs. Just wasn't sure what would look nice with my chair but I have some ideas now

A lighter gray with some white. Lots of options. Lighter window treatments and a pillow or two in lighter tones. More art in lighter colors to brighten things up. That art would also break up some of the dark grey walls. It can all come together beautifully. Not to worry.
