Rug looks too small to be honest. And you either need to buy a couple more paddles and have maybe three on your wall like a collection. That could be interesting but the one paddle by itself does get lost on the wall

Shirin I agree more for the wall. The rug is 8x10 I thought that was big enough without totally covering the flooring we just laid. I could pull it out from under the sofa about another 5-6” having the front feet touching the rug. Maybe that will make it look larger?

I would look at going up to 9 x 12

It’s not about covering the floors he just laid, it’s about defining the space. Using a larger rug will make that space feel larger. Right now with that size rug it makes the space feel like the furniture is too big for the room even though it’s not it’s just an Illusion because the rug is slightly too small

Some option to fill in wall

or

Maybe a gallery of a selection of these mid century modern prints from a local artist?

I’m also making additional throw pillows out of this fabric

Fabric is draped over.
