Thank you! Can’t do much about the stairs right now. Maybe in a few years!

If I take away the decor, I see baseline traditional; the stairway, the wainscoting, the fireplace, the trim, and the windows.

I like the black wall paint, the Chesterfield sofa and all the rugs.

But, the floors ( a luxury vinyl plank?) and the black stair treads, black runner seem off in the scheme.

I really like your style, lovely home. :)

I think the rug works, but that one with much deeper colors would look even better. A Persian or Oriental with dark blues, reds, etc.

The walls look navy on my monitor, is that right?

Just as an example:

I think the darker colors tie in better with everything.

Then buy that gorgeous rug and, in a few years, do something with the stairs.

@jinx thank you for the input. I think you right. It is a pretty pricy item so I want to get it right. I love the inspiration photo it looks beautiful. Yes the walls are a navy grasscloth.

i agree with Jinx. Another idea is to get a neutral rug (maybe a natural fiber rug). If you do that then you won't be having to fight with so many colors.

You have a gorgeous home. I love your dining room. It is elegant and maybe a muted rug would help in keeping in that elegant style.

I think this one looks great.

Rug

Love that, Ak!

Thanks Jinx! I believe we have very similar tastes.

Well, that’s a huge compliment to me because I so admire yours. :)

Mari Rojas I think that rug is perfect ! I think it contrasts beautifully with the walls and flooring. I like that it stands out and gets your attention. aktillery9's rug is beautiful, but too dark for the room, IMO. Your rug also meshes nicely with the office rug.
