What rug and pillow colors will lighten up my gray couch?!

last year

We’re doing a home remodel.

Walls will be BM Seapearl.

Floors will be refinished pale/light.

Fireplace is as pictured below.

We’ll need to keep our gray couch for the time being. I’d like to replace the rug and the pillows to make it feel “less gray”. What am I looking for in a rug? What colors for the rug and pillows?

Thank you! Links are helpful!

Are you replacing the ottoman coffee table as well?

I’d browse for art that you love, then select pillows and a rug to complement it. I think you need more color and contrast for a more inviting look.

Please take pictures of the entire room(all 4 walls).

BM Seapearl can look quite yellow, so make sure you test.

You can go off in many directions.A multi colored rug with just a bit of gray.

Or, just wait until you ready to change out the gray sofa.

These two rugs are other possible directions. I like the brown pillows that reference the color of your wood trim.

I just came across this rug from West Elm that someone posted on another thread. It struck me that it would go well with your couch if you’re looking for a more modern vibe.
