area rug colors

We just remodeled our kitchen and are now finalizing the colors for the adjoining dining area.

The walls are a light grey, floors are oak and the table is a live edge spalted sugar maple.

The issue is that we want the colors to work with a large painting that has very bright colors.

painting

Table

fabric for the window seat cushion

We want something in wool, low pile, not too flashy so that it does not take away from the table or painting and it has to be at least 10x8

I have chosen multiple options but when I put them together they seem to clash.

All help is welcome!

Thanks

Dorothy

I doubt you need a bright color in the rug. Frankly, you may not even need wool. I love a very texured natural fiber under a dining table. Even if a wool, it need not contain a bright. Look at the deep smoky blue in the fabric, instead. Don't be afraid of a less obvious solution.

I really like Jan's suggestions of a sisal or navy rug. Your table is gorgeous...may I ask you to share where it was purchased?

I also love blue with orange. Adding some blue accents and a blue rug would look nice. Perhaps a blue bowl, or vase with foliage in the center of your table. Good luck!

I do agree that adding tones of blue would compliment it very nicely.

Thank you! I see that it’s available in 10’ x 14’, I think I need that large because the room is very large & I have two 86” long sofa placed in an “L” position

My guess is you are right! I hate shrinky dinky rugs, they shrink the ROOM.
