The space is not large. My thinking was to place sofa so there is a narrow strip of floor showing – making the room appear lighter and more spacious.

I love this Jaden rug from Arhaus furniture.. think it would look amazing in your space with that sofa…you can do dramatic in the dark charcoal or the off white version..I have one of both….charcoal in family room and off white in Living room..it is a soft gorgeous rug!

Assuming we do a dark rug - what color accent chair would you choose? Also in leather or fabric?

It's a beautiful room, the dark wall doesn't make the room smaller. Darker colors on walls typically causes them to recede, actually making the space feel bigger. I think your current rug is nice, maybe the same one a bit larger. You mentioned 6 x 9 is what you need? And yes, have others have mentioned put the front feet of the sofa on the rug.

Is your current sofa leather? The answer to your question about an accent chair could be effected by that. Beth H posted a nice chair option in fabric and wood from Article that I think might be nice in your space.

I think you could pull off this leather accent chair from All Modern.

If a dark rug..I would add a fabric accent chair in a heavy textured neutral.

🤗

Dawn i think i will keep it with the same rug to lighten things up. And yes my current sofa is a tan:golden leather sofa…was going to add a java/espresso brown barcelona chair to keep with the modern theme. Thank you All for the advice!

Home interior ease - that is a great concept. But how about if i keep the neutral rug - what would you recommend in terms of color/material for the accent chair?

A Gauthier, LOVE the Barcelona chair, it is classic, and honestly much nicer than the one I found on All Modern. WIth the Barcelona chair I might think about Flint, which is a gray. I DO think your room could carry off a black leather Barcelona chair. It's a fantastic room! Here's the chair in Flint.

One more thought with a leather sofa, I do also like the idea of a fabric chair, this chair is pretty wild but modern and gets great reviews for comfort. It would be nice in your room in it's creme color.

Dawn yes the flint!! I think gray over dark espresso brown may fit better!

Dawn you think a black barcelona would fit better over a dark espresso? I was concerned about the starkness of black leather and was trying to keep in line with shades of brown given the tan leather sofa?

I think it is hard to go wrong with a classic oriental rug. They bring color and pattern into any room and, imo, fit quite well into also any room.

Before you buy a rug, do tape out your space. I believe that you should have at least an 8 x 10’ rug there, perhaps even as large as a 9 x 12. Order a small sample, if you are buying online, first! (You don’t want to have to return a 9 x 12’ rug!). But using painters tape, measure out both an 8 x 10’ and a 9 x 12’ space. I love the idea of a Barcelona. But don’t do everything in leather…. LOVE your couch! Gorgeous.

This is a great recommendation. I will tape out for sure! Is it really a style faux pas to have two different leather pieces in the Living Room? The style I am going for is NYC Jazz bistro vibe.

Agree with whomever suggested painting the vents.

I think two leather pieces, especially the ones you have chosen will work together well. But stop there. Add some soft textures, fabrics to the mix. Textural changes add to a sense of warmth. Your room has great bones. You have chosen well so far! Keep posting!

Since you like modern (classic!) style…look at Eames lounge chairs and ottomans. They add wood to leather and are striking in their organic shape.

Ptreckel great recommendations thank you! I love the Eames!

A Gauthier if you keep the rug you have lighter colors I would still keep the accent chair neutral color..your big black wall is the focal point and the lighter accent chair continues to provide contrast…what is the height of the sofa? I always prefer a chair with arms no matter the room or furniture style…the accent chair needs the wow factor to compete with the black wall and amazing sofa.

Home dec ease - the sofa is 30” H. I didnt think about it like that but makes sense. Any suggestions for chairs? Id like to keep the silhouettes all slim

🤗

Just read your response on keeping the chair slim…..let me shop some more..where will you be placing the chair? Do you have a bit more room to move the sofa back? The leather strap chair has a slim style..they are so comfortable.

Chair will be to the right of the sofa close to the window. No room to move sofa back

Got it!

Where can i find this?

In thinking about your dark wall, I might agree with others to keep the accent chair neutral. I love this chair from DWR, they also carry the Barcelona and Eames. What I like about this chair in the link below is you can change the metal, I chose metallic bronze and chair in a Pearl boucle, which has a nice texture. The metal echos other metal in your space and the height of the chair is 30.25, although it's wide but could be angled. I would tape out the footprint of the chair on the floor. This could work great if you get a larger size of the same rug.

I've also attached the Barcelona in an ivory leather. Both of these are currently on sale at DWR at 15% off.

wow such a beautiful space <3. I think a warm toned rug will look good with your decor. Pick up a few of its colors in accessories, like art to highlight the look even more.

A big bold painting brings serious flair, and can instantly change the vibe of any space. For artworks here are some options you might like -

A Gauthier, where did you find the photo of the creme chair with gold metal? Ah, I see HIWE posted it, she'll come back and let you know where to find it. She's great.

I am going to do a virtual mock up. I still love the idea of the flint barcelona in theory. Practically speaking the neutral chair may coordinate better.

🤗

The Johnathon Adler Channeled Goldfinger is gorgeous!

Off topic for a moment…I would paint all these black…..(circled in red)

Any of these rugs would be a great addition to the room.

HIWE - The sheepskin from burke decor is to die for!! Perfect way to add heavy texture against the leather sofa. Not to mention adds warmth to the space . Just thinking if it will fit the whole speakeasy vibe.

I think it is fabulous! Yes it fits that sexy speakeasy style and the unexpected wow factor! Checks all the boxes🤗

I think I would add a more dramatic rug..not so organic more speakeasy sexy…my daughters wedding was speakeasy style! Crafted cocktails and rolled cigars! Best day ever…had to share!

This one is it! Great find!

It is a great chair kinda the same lines as sheepskin both work amazing for your space! Also Burke Decor…have ordered many pieces of furniture from Burke Decor for myself. Have you thought about a more dramatic rug?

Love both chairs from Burke Decor, am partial to the sheepskin...:-)

Fwiw just wanted to update. Went with the same rug in 8 x 10. Too big and too bright, disrupted the calm dark exotic romantic vibe of the space. To whomever suggested a dark rug - thats what i am going for now.

Yes! Dark rug…this was the one I suggested..it is from Arhaus Furniture..we have it and love it! Super soft and plush on the feet.

Can you send me the details for this rug please

Love your space. In favor of the dark rug and sheepskin chair!

First one is what we did in our family room that I posted..second is another rug we considered and would look amazing in your space too!

Another vote for the darker rug and the sheepskin, these are great design elements for your already nice space!

Thanks all for the ideas! How do you all feel about a black sheepskin? In keeping with the dark theme.

You could still do a neutral chair like the Cali chair from Burke decor and throw a black sheepskin over the back..so dramatic and gives you some versatility…just a thought.

I think I prefer the lighter one, but I would swap out a couple pillows on your sofa for darker.

Any update🤗
