Maybe darker? What type of feeling do you want? What colors are in the rest of the house?

Right now I don't see anything but two shades of beige in the area rug, and brown and beige in the fabric so there's nothing in either item that says 'blue' paint is the correct direction to proceed.

The wall color and fabric look absolutely lovely together on my screen (and I do see blue in the fabric). I simply don't care for the rug and feel it is "off", but hard to know if it makes much difference if you are putting furniture all over it. What type of furniture? Is the white panel lower wall paneling?

can you take another picture of the rug? It is reading dirty brown on my screen and you say it is light blue.

Hope this image is better -- there's a light blue, cream and taupe. I'm most likely getting a new dining table set -- most likely a mahogany or darker wood antique set. Probably going to do a fabric set so I'll need another fabric for the dining chairs.

So let's see

On my screen the fabric and rug seem like an inspired pairing. But maybe your paint needs to be different -- as you suspected? It's good your shoe is in the photo because I think that is NOT the blue you need either. But I'm at a loss to describe what blue would be optimal (but I almost dare not say this but am wondering if it needs a bit of purple in it.)

I like the fabric with the paint you have chosen. I am wondering if the rug is too light, and gives off a more beige vibe in the room, since most of the pictures, it looks beige, except for the one, where it looks a very faded blue. Maybe the rug needs to be changed to another one. Can you return the one you have?

I was sort of wondering it I should just pick out the cream color in the fabric and go neutral. Maybe save the blue to use on the seat upholstery?

I like all of it — rug, curtains, and paint color. I think they all look lovely together.

Jean’s darker blue is pretty, too.

If you want to stay with a light blue, this is Zen

They seem to go well together. When you are taking pictures of the rug with the curtains, you have the light at your back, and this is casting a shadow on the rug. When everything is in direct light, all items appear to go well together. When you look at the room, make sure all the lights are on. Lights make a difference with color.

This is Cliffside Gray compared to the color you chose. I’d just keep going with this color!

Blues in that range can be so temperamental. I think I would go with cream unless you really want to do a lot of testing - I love the rug and fabric!

I painted a creamish color on the wall and taped some of the suggestions -- zen is the lightest blue and Briarwood (2 bottom brown swatches taped together) is up there too.

The one I've marked seems to me to "pop" out the blue in your fabric and rug the best. However, not only is that shade a very different direction from the blue paint you chose, I'm wondering if you want to wait for your new dining set to see what that does inside the room and your choices thus far.

My conclusion is that blue paint is washing out the blue in your fabric and rug. So if you want blue in the room, where do you want to see it? On the walls? On the fabric? In the rug? I suspect the same will happen if you upholster your chair seats in blue. Your rug and fabric will go to brown.

I love the cream, it doesn't compete with the other colors!

Replaced with the updated carpet photo.

Very different moods...

Just wanted to see this with the better photo of the rug

You would definitely have to want it

Are you planning on keeping the existing chandelier?

I was thinking about keeping the chandelier, but am open to other ideas and any opinions. I love all of the feedback and ideas about contrast versus no contrast. These options give me a lot to think about.

Looks like the one that was marked was Copley Grey HC-108 from Benjamin Moore.

Sorry, edit -- that's HC-104
