Are you looking to do a tonal accent or a different color all together?

To begin with, I'm afraid the rug is too small and also the color and pattern don't seem to work well. You might want to address that first because the present one doesn't do your room any favors. Choose a warm color that ties in more with the dining room chairs, and make sure it covers most of the floor in the room except for a border of 1 to 1 1/2 feet. An accent wall would not be a good idea in such a small space and would serve no purpose.

I agree with @Ingrid.

Hi Falisha!

Whenever I choose paint colors for my clients I like a starting point with either a fixed element or a furnished element in the room. Since your existing grey walls have a slight green undertone, an earth tone would probably compliment it best. A dark green, similar to the one on the leaf in the wall art you have hanging up, would be beautiful. If you were to do so, I would replace the rug with a warm green or a creamy white with some green in it. It's best to have relation in the space. It will also work well with the chairs in the adjacent room as well. A perfect green would be Benjamin Moore's Dark Olive 2140-30.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

What color are those chairs in your dining room? It looks like the lighting might be making them look warmer than they are. The dishes, artwork and pillows tie the rug into other accents in the room. And as Alisa said above, it looks like the current color on the wall looks like it has a green hue. So maybe something like Summit Gray would work.

Hi, celerygirl - can you share where the rug in your first photo came from? I love that!

High contrast accent walls are kind of a thing of the past these days. If you're looking for something a little different, I agree with the commenter above suggesting the gray/another gray to compliment the one you already have.

Just do a search for "gray and teal area rug" on Houzz or Google Images. Lots should pop up.

--No accent wall for spaces that have so many openings. It'll just look choppy. A better area rug can be your accent "wall." Try to get a rug that echoes the adjoining palette in your living/dining room so there's continuity and flow.

--You need window treatments, though full-on drapes might be overkill. White and gray or white and teal Roman shades or bamboo Roman shades in white would add a finished look.

Try RugsUSA and esale.rugs for lots of possibilities. The second rug that celerygirl showed would be perfect since it lightens the mood of the room and ties in well with your dining room. Green and blue colors seem to give a more somber, dark vibe.
