No one else has an opinion, advice, suggestions!?

Is this for a home or an office?

It is a home.

Well, if it is your home, I would not get any of those rugs you show.

I would spend a little more and get a hand-knotted genuine Persian carpet.

They come in many colorways and different sizes to suit your need.

They are timelessly elegant, correct everywhere and in every style room, traditional, transitional, contemporary and modern, and will last for hundreds of years.

Yes, you read correctly.

I have my grandmother's and it shows no wear at all except a bit at the fringes from her crazy cat whom she let run the place. (Don't ask :)

And though you didn't ask, that coffee table can't service the sofa and the chairs.

A coffee table needs to be 18 inches from the sofa.

I can't discern the full length of the sofa, so I don't know if the coffee table is the correct length or not, it should be two-thirds the length of your sofa.

For the chairs you can get an end table and put it between the two chairs.

I would also suggest finding another place for your coffee machine and drink paraphernalia, they belong in the kitchen.

If you are not going to put a television set in that vast middle space in the entertainment unit and you still want to keep the unit, you have a couple of options.

You can find a great piece of art, either a painting or a print or a piece of textile art and hang it in there.

You can find a great wood worker/finish carpenter to make you more shelves that match your piece of furniture and make sure the shelves are very sturdy and will hold weight.

And then put things on the shelves.

One-third books, one-third collectibles, and one-third open space.

Now, if you do want to have a coffee bar of sorts in your wall unit and keep those items right there permanently because there is no place for them in your kitchen what I suggest is have your very skilled woodworker make some doors for you with a drop down shelf or a pull out shelf to make it easier for fixing the cups of coffee, tea etc.

I suggest these doors be solid wood and not glass, because as cool as you think your Keurig is, all that equipment is simply not that attractive.

I would put the doors on either side of the unit, and that might need moving some of the shelves.

Make sure there is ample space to stand and turn around in front of those spaces, and the sofa and chairs are not blocking the area.

Make sure you get a rug of sufficient size.

The market has fallen out of Persians, so you can get a great one for very little $$ these days.

Lol. Yes, the coffee is only there temporarily while we finish the kitchen. So that will be gone, and we already plan to add more shelves to the opening of the entertainment center, and will be painted dark blue similar to this.

As for the rug, I didn't really want a Persian or oriental because I was trying to keep it more modern, thats why I originally bought the blue and white abstract, but thought maybe I wanted more color after seeing it in there. Ill keep shopping. Here are more pics of the room. Its hard to get good photos because there is no overhead lighting in this room. Thats another thing on the list to do! Thank you for your thoughts!

I think this would look lovely in there ... I like that it has both warm and cools tones, and is a transitional style.

That deep blue paint for the entertainment unit looks marvelous, how inspired!

As for your rug, why don't you do one of those photo edit programs and "Paint" your wall unit that blue now and then try out the rugs that way.

The last two of your possible rugs are simply faded out Persians, and they are boring to me.

Your first selection is some pastel thing which is even more boring except for the edge that shows some color.

With that wall unit, even blue your room isn't really modern, it is more transitional, maybe all blue you could stretch to contemporary.

Although you could go for a white-ish rug, the room is begging for color.

A Persian rug has color but doesn't scream "look at me."

Another thing I would suggest is raising your curtains.

Puddling is not the thing anymore, so have the curtains just touch the floor, and raise the curtains those extra inches.

With all the color in the the room from the wall unit and the sofa and chairs, you do need some natural elements.

There is no space for a leather chair.

Keep your eyes peeled for something "natural," either wood or leather or basket , something.

The current table between the two chairs doesn't thrill me.

Unless it is just the camera angle, the lamp on that table seems awfully tall, even with it's lamp shade that is too short for it.

Another thing, I would use a paint with a definite sheen for your shelves, not a flat paint.

I like like the rug Jinx linked, but out of price range. You are absolutely right about the natural elements, and have been looking at some leather ottomans or changing the coffee table to wood.

I am going to hem the curtains, I bought 108" because 96" were out of stock. Do you think I should raise them anyway? Would it look odd having so much space between rod and window?

The lamp is too tall lol. Its only there till I get more lighting in there.

I’m so sorry, I didn’t even look at the price! It’d be out of my range, too! If I see one similar (and budget-friendly!), I’ll share. :)
