Everyone says paint the walls, or buy new furniture etc. Nice rug but in the wrong room I think. Less bother and money to replace the rug with a geometric ikat etc. which works with your sofa.

You could pick one vibrant colour for the rug ( perhaps the colour of the pillow in the photo) , to complement the furniture. A loose pile might add some whimsical feeling to the room also.

Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards

Since you are not allowed to paint the ceiling, it should be the only wooden surface in the room. The floor can be covered by either wall-to-wall carpet or a large rug, but please check if a door that opens into the room will still be operable. Multi-use and visually light furniture is important in such a tight space. I would replace the bunk bed (you're too grown-up anyway) with a nice sleeper sofa like, for instance, Flottebo. And I'd buy a comfy chair that can be used for reading and as a desk chair. It should be unobtrusive and easy to move like this feminine rattan chair. If you don't need a desk on a daily basis, I'd recommend a height-adjustable notebook table (on casters) that can double as a side table next to the sofa/ bed. Again, multi-use is the key. Once you've chosen new furniture, you can decide on curtains, rug/ carpet and other decorative elements. Wall colors are usually the last decision because you can have millions of hues individually mixed. Also consider how much natural light your room gets.

Hey Alice, Yes I know, it's so hard to pick one as there are so many beautiful ones! Yes, I would definitely choose one that's shorter than the sideboard! You could go for something white and simple or something made out of the same wood as the table legs or something that matches the metallic thingy over the desk. I think I would choose a simply white one or a metallic one. Or you could also just put a picture ledge there and then put the artwork on it and maybe a nice candle or a small plant. Depending on the shelf and the size of the artwork, I would put the artwork on it :) Also you shouldn't hang it too high, it shouldn't lose look disconnected from the sideboard. I would say about as high as the grid over the desk but it also depends on the shelf. But I guess you will see it when you chose one! :) I added a few examples but of course those are my taste but I hope you'll find something you like! golden shelf - Urban Outfitters (maybe you can find something with only two boards) Round metallic shelf - Lionshome Picture ledge - IKEA

This rug has personality. It makes a statement. You can still add color in other ways if you like.

The only thing the room, and sofa needs, is a light color on the wall behind the sofa. Then it will pop. The sofa is a dark hole against that wall. Light wall, bright pillows and the sofa becomes the focal point it is suppose to be.

It's the white background of the rug. A darker background with the design would work.

I agree with the previous comment. The white background of the rug is too bright for the dark coloured furniture in the proximity of the rug, making it appear to be "too busy".

Sorry, I agree w/the bold, bright white background...not good, too busy. I'm all for patterns but in your case this pattern is waaaay to big. You need a smaller, more conservative pattern. A white background does NOT work with your furniture, flooring. I do like the 2 suggested pillows for your furniture. Depends on rug but pillows do not need to match, just compliment your furniture and colors. Wish I was in your area to help you out! Best wishes!

To busy for me. Is this the first thing you want your guests to see when they enter the room? I also don't feel the style of your furniture goes with the run. That rug would look good with a white sofa.

I would like rug bigger, Walls same as background of rug, light blue rocker either slip covered in white washable fabric or replaced with a white leather recliner. Throw pillows to pick rug colors. OR change out rug for one with more of a flow with existing furniture and change paint if necessary. I could picture this rug in child's room easily.

at first I was going to say to add a glass coffee table to match the side tables; you sstill see the rug but the table is like a centerpiece, then I say=w your second pic with the table. for me, that addition made a huge difference in settling the rug and then I'd add a big vase of red flowers on the table!

No, the rug isn't good and it's too small. It's going to go out of style very quickly. I'd stay classic and go upbeat with pillows.

The rug is so strong in pattern that it will compete with art and other accessories. Stay classic and not trendy.

Just goes to show that some people like a certain look and that design is personal. I have no problem with the rug but find the chairs rather staid and boring with the sofa. I would add something more contemporary to go with the rug. And, add the other elements I mentioned earlier. Many designers suggest starting with a rug one likes or a fabric or art piece and working around it. You can do this with that rug if you love it.

You must like the rug and want more color or you'd not have gotten the rug! Great suggestions, cool to tie in rug color with some soft colors/textures rather than prints on the pillows. But instead of a couple of black/white pictures, get something that has one of the rug colors. A large painting would look fabulous.
I like the rug, too, and have been contemplating just such a purchase so this was very interesting to me!

Hang it on the wall above the couch. Also end table and lamp seem too light weight for such massive sofa and chairs.

The rug is very nice. It seem a little to small. Get the next size bigger and enjoy the spark of colour and character the rug adds to your decor.

the furniture is very dark for this rug, you need to add some pops of colors to match the rug around area - pillows, art etc

The rug is a wonderful starting point to introducing the bold pattern and color! I think the rug should be brought underneath the front legs of the sofa so there won't be a divide and will cause a better flow. I did a space ( a lounge for a conference) and we played with color and pattern. Hopefully you might find this inspiring

Too busy. It makes the room look claustrophobic. I always enjoy toned down large pieces with fun extras. It's best if you're on a budget and easy change with the seasons.

Hi Kelly,

I took some time and created a vision board for you. The elements depicted are examples of what you can use to tie your rug in with the rest of your space!
Have fun decorating! :)

I am sorry, but no matter how many more colours you will introduce to this room to fit your rug in, it won't work with your couch or colour of the floorboards! Your couch is simply way too dark. Buy a new white couch or at least light grey to balance colours in the room. Or, simply, return the rug and get another one, perhaps, also colourful but definitely NOT with a white background.

I have to disagree. You simply need to balance the darkness of the couch out with other dark elements. For that exact reason, I incorporated the dark baskets, lamps, light fixture and frames into your vision board. Mixing warm and cool colours is also a beautiful way to add energy and excitement to a space! With design knowledge and creativity, you can make anything belong! If you love the rug Kelly, then you will also love the elements you choose to compliment it! :)

Well after everyone's help I've finally decided to get a sisal rug and add color with pillows, lampshades, and artwork. I was worried the rug would just be too busy overtime and hard to coordinate around. Now, sisal rug shopping! They are pretty pricey! :( Kelly

A sisal rug will work with the extras added. You must have been awfully confused by all those comments!!!

I love the rug.. Maybe just change out the blue pillows for a lighter color and keep the coral ones.

The rug is great. You just need to "lighten" the dark sofa with some brighter/lighter colored pillows. Stripes? Other geometric prints? Go for it!

Oh I think you should have kept the rug! First of all it's all a matter of taste & we are all different. I love the ideas from Design Style. My first thought when I saw your pic was "LOVE the rug,,lighter pillows will bring it all together!" I have brown leather furniture & I use pillows to lighten & brighten my room. Good luck & trust what YOU like!

Great rug-just pull the colors into your pillows and accessories, maybe lampshades, too. Use one of the neutral colors from rug for wall paint.

the little blue chair throws off everything, too small and not a good color or style with the rug and the rest of the furniture .Great rug, just need to set your design with furniture that's the same scale. a neutral chair with a pop of color!

It is. I would not "just get a simple rug and add color with pillows" though. I would add color with pillows, but I would also do a bold graphic print rug- but something more geometric- maybe white and yellow chevron. yellow looks great and classic with grays, which is what I think your furniture is? or blues... this pillow would coordinate nicely with that look, too...

I think that the color balance is off - the eye is drawn to the rug and the furniture is lost. Decide where you want your focus to be. If you love the rug then either reupholster the furniture or buy new furniture that is lighter and has a similar color pallet as the rug.

My answer if "yes". At the same time, I have to point out that the current rug is too small. The upholstered pieces should all be at least partly on the rug.

You need the rug to be larger and I don't think this one works in the space...I think it feels to youthful.....you can still do bold colors.

Maybe something like this Ikat rug with deep bold colors...
