I don't know your space but my first thought is the rug is too dark. The blue is the perfect blue with brown, royal blue is too dark. These are just some ideas.

Start by deciding what your accent color will be with the brown seating. Then work a bit of that color into a lighter area rug. Dark floors and sofas call for a lighter foundation under the seating. Search the box above under Photos for brown leather sofa and you'll see how the majority of them are with lighter rugs when the floors are also dark.

Love the comments. Patricia, I really like those samples. Any others you want to send my way? With links? I really can live with the different blue like you show. In a perfect world I would have a shade of blue and a shade of red also. I even liked these chairs in the Target ad yesterday: http://weeklyad.target.com/council-bluffs-ia-51501/pages?code=Target-140309#12-13 I wish I knew of one store where would show things that go together like that.

Did I mention I am on a smaller budget? Really looking for items that I can change down the road without feeling bad because I spent a lot this time!

Hi, Maureen!

here is rug that incorporates both blue and red:

I think this rug would go nicely with a solid chair:

Let me know what you think!

Are those the threshold chairs, they would work. Check out The Rug Market. This chair you could really keep forever, if you change your decor put in your bedroom. On etsy there are those same pillows with red in then too.

I really did like the chairs that Warner Decor suggested. The rug needs to be at least a 5x8 and the one sent doesn't come that large. Can you tell me where that first blue and brown chair and rug came from too?

I like the blue chair that Warner suggested.

Maureen- just so you know from experience, if you order these chairs online, they are SUPER simple to assemble! I actually have some in my front room and are true to color ;)

Great. Do you have any other rug suggestions? I need between a 5x8 to a 7x9. I would like it soft too!

Sure! here are a few:

I really like this one, comes in 7'8'' by 10'10''

Let me know what you like/don't like about these :)

Love that chair, Patricia.


Also, a lighter chair could work, too.

I feel like I'm getting closer. Warner, I actually liked that first one. A little wild but loved all the colors. The problem is my size has to be at least 5x8 but can't be more than 7x9. My husband really doesn't think a 5 x 8 is large enough. A 6x8 or 7x9 is hard to find but probably more ideal. Any more ideas??

Again this is a 5x8 but what do you think of this? http://www.pinterest.com/pin/219691288047011890/

what about a patterned chair and a one or two color rug in a red or blue?

I like the above rug! Here are a few patterned chairs I found that may look nice with it:
