I have that rug and wouldn't put brown/caramel on it. To me, it's blue.

@tsjmjh would you care to share a pic of yours? I feel like my rug has less blue than I expected it to have. this is a pic I screenshotted from the web.

@ocotillo that's how I feel too. it also has some shades of slight orange in it. hopefully I will get some more feedback. 🙏🙂

Agree with Oco, I think they’d work great together. I found this from a review, you can see the nice mix of colors and tones, and even a similar floor as yours.

I love the little fishes on it. :)

@jinx thank your for that photo, I appreciate you taking the time to find that! I love this rug, my dad loves to fish and it reminds me of him :-)

I'm all about mixing textures and colors and styles so this suits my taste but sometimes I think I'm too outside the box and need other opinions, so thank you :-)

Outside the box is GOOD. Trust me. (And Jinx. She knows too.) Seriously, you will likely receive opinions that are all over the map in this forum, and that's fine, but the best piece of advice I can offer is this: To thine own self be true.

If you like it, it works, no matter what anyone else thinks. And so often, "outside the box" is borne of a creative spirit that finds its beautifully expressive voice by feathering the nest in unique and resourceful ways. Don't be afraid to be a bit different.

@ocotillo, thank you, your words truly inspire me.
I can't wait to get into the house and make these changes, we don't close until next month so this was a pic I had from the listing, I will post pics/updates as I go along with our new living room.

All of these rugs from RugsDirect.com are $150 - $199 and it's likely they can be purchased for a better price on other sites, however, they will at least show you how a rug appears with the sectional. Let me know if you would like additional info on a rug.

If you love it, then absolutely get it. I think it looks cool together and I especially like that it reminds you of your dad. That’s how you should decorate, with things that make you happy.

@Beverly that's so cool how you can test out a rug with your sofa like that, thank you🙂

Being an artist, I LOVE it. Sure it can go, just get interesting accessories that are not run of the mill. Buy a copper mobile and hang it from the ceiling, it would look fab.

If the colors depicted on the internet are true (or mostly true) I would say that they work beautifully together.

Saline, there are three sites I know of that will allow you to test the rug in your space.

Rugsdirect.com

esalerugs.com

rugsusa.com

You'll have to upload a picture of either the room or the sofa to do this.

See these examples below of Before and After

@Jennifer Hogan I agree. it was that specific tone that I liked with the sofa. here is a close-up.

@Beverly thank you! will give it a shot!🙂

I will take a photo tomorrow in the daylight; I apologize that I didn't see this until now. There is no orange/caramel in my rug and it definitely looks blue. Which is why I bought it - I'm all about blue! That, and the fish, lol.

I think that everyone should seek a job that they love and everyone should live in a home that is filled with things that bring them joy.

In the past year I have purchased 2 area carpets.

They aren't the latest design trends, but they work with my art and make me smile

@jenn they are both beautiful. my sister just bought a similar one as your bottom pic, I love it

how do you all feel about this chair in the mix?

I love the chair in the mix!

@jennifer yay! I think the pieces will all come together with a few coordinating throw pillows.
I plan to take a pic of my sister's rug and artwork when I'm at her house tomorrow to show you the beautiful greens❤️

here's an update on how this room is coming along, we have only been in our house for a few days so still have more to add🙂

It’s looking fabulous! I think the rug is perfect. What is the surface of your fireplace, it looks very cool.

Love seeing updates, thank you! Enjoy your new home. :)

@jinx thank you! I think it's granite but I'm not sure. I was considering changing it to be honest but sometimes I like the business of it lol

Oh, I love that, it’s gorgeous!

Your room looks really nice. I bought the same rug for my son because he likes to fish. It’s a subtle nod to a hobby and doesn’t scream FISH or cutesy coastal.

@looki lu my dad loves to fish and this rug totally reminds me of him, I'm really really happy with it.

I ended up changing out to a different rug, here's an update 🙂
still love my fish rug, may use it in the future dining room or family room
