Thanks. I always wanted a Persian rug but you’re right it’s too similar.

I like that blue painting. I think blue contrasts nicely, sets off the caramel of the sofa and the white in the rug shown. I think your persian would look good in the other room that looks like a library.

You have a transitional room with boho vibes, both of which are contemporay styles but not necessarily modern. I'm trying find something along those lines but modern at the same time.

Have you thought about placing the sofa on the opposite wall? There is a niche there so the sofa would not feel underfoot.

I’m thinking of moving the Persian rug into the other room and getting a cream rug. I like the blue accents and the black chairs.

I love Persian rugs. There are brighter, modern wool Persian rugs. This exact one from Feizy is in our living room and it is stunning. This particular one from the Fariza Collection is now discontinued. It's worth looking into. Our Feizy has held up very well with a lot of use...excellent quality, hand made. https://www.feizy.com/ 

Here's a Fariza I think in stock with your colors. It's on sale as I post this. 8x11

Another looker also on sale. Oops this on is not a wool from Feizy. I guess the name Fariza is generic. That's okay, though.

You can certainly have modern decor with your Persian if you wish.

The rug is nice, but in the examples it contrasts to the flooring, and in the one photo it is similar the walls are much lighter. Allowing the walls to stand up to the low light, a lighter rug will be dramatic.

Oh wow RL you're right.

For me that room needs something to make all the dark walls and furniture stand out. The white rug suggestion is a good start but I would suggest to integrate more white:

The rug from the study would be a good starting point.

Changed the rug to cream and it makes the room feel so much lighter. Now I have to find the perfect coffee table. I have a ton of art to hang and plants to fill the room. Thanks for the tips.

I liked the oriental rug you had but this cream one works much better with your furniture and brightens up the room.

That did lighten up the space!
