Do you have your furniture already? If so, what is it like, or what do you plan on getting? Do you want a contemporary rug, or a more traditional style? I love the color on your wall and those curtains with it and the floor!

This is from walmart, is 8ft x 10ft and costs about $210 on walmart.com.

i have not bought furniture yet. i thought about doing two chairs of some sort and a couch but undecided . not sure the style yet as i am open to ideas, i love every thing and tend to mix styles

i also thought about a grey and white chevron type not sure tho. the curtains have so many colors. wht do you think of a patterned rug

I'd be interested in knowing what color and style your furniture is. Can you put a picture up with the furniture in the room. It's hard to decide on a rug when you don't some some more elements in the room.

i havent bought anything its a clean slate so searching for a rug first

i will buy furniture around the rug and curtains . im open to ideas .

i love the colors in that

Designer Nick Olsen is awesome at mixing colors and patterns by keeping the scale of the pattern in mind. Or even mixing styles by keeping color in mind. You may like this article.

Your curtains are cool yet I might go to the trouble of having them lined. Doing it yourself with a no sew tape and sheets even. It just makes them look more expensive when light is not shining through.

Here's the link. I particularly like the bedroom.

An important addition: find a liner for your curtains, or you will loose the impact when they are drawn. My thought, also, is that you do not need an accent wall in this room. Way too much going on.

i m not stuck on just one color i have looked at green brown and grey rugs so many options . i love the rugs mariel

great thoughts ty love the visual as well

the accent wall is actually my favorite thing in the room . it will have a fireplace on it as well , i can see how it could look busy for sure i just love it tho i have to make it work lol.

First, let me say, kudos to selecting a different color palette than gray!! Yea!! Next, it will serve you well, if you select your sofa and main other pieces before drapery and rug. This is because we start, typically, with the hardest pieces to find first. That way, things get easier as you go along. I would suggest you look for your sofa and chairs before you do a rug, and think about the drapery. The drapery might not work? If you are in love with it and keep them, I would add a couple more panels because you need about 2-1/2 times the width of the window in drapery and you have a large window. I would also line them for a window where there is a lot of light coming in. So, if you keep the drapery, you will probably be going with a gray sofa, or a linen look. While the green wall color is pretty, it is a bit difficult to pair ready made sofa fabrics with it. So, ask yourself if you love the drapery. If not, return them. Start then with sofa. Do a solid color sofa or a very minimal pattern like a fine herringbone etc. How many people will need to be seated in your room on a daily basis? I will look for some ideas for you. bbl

That is a beautiful sectional, but your room doesn't look large enough to handle it? What are the dimensions of your room? What is your budget for the furniture? Just so we can respect it with choices for you.

LOL. There are only two things in the room right now….you are going to have to work with a rug, a sofa, accent chairs. As you said, choosing “the rug first” is most important. Choosing wall color should be one of the last things upon which you decide.

hi and thank you. i normally dont pick curtains first but seen them and love them. i dont mind doing furniture first but the color and curtains must stay i may add more panels for sure i have a bout 4-5 up now . i will line them to eventually lol. i am ok with a plain sofa and may have to rely on adding throw pillows . the curtains have white tan grey brown and two greens picture doesn't show well. as far as seating four of us live in my home and we have a another living area we hang out in. thank you so much for your thoughts

the room is actually quiet large but not sure if that would fit i could look for a sectional and use that as inspiration for sure i have to get dimensions. this room dont have to be decorated all at once so if need be ill buy things as i go to help when it comes to cost. i got the color right off the curtains, green is my favorite color and i am attached to the curtain lol

I would use a lighter beige color sofa on the green wall since your flooring is dark too. Then you could add a darker color for your chairs on the other wall if you wanted. Something like these

mariel i actually have a double rod i did plan to put the sheers up got originally instead of lining them. unsure at the time so havent hung them. thanks for the rug pictures as well helps so much .

@media4 i love the acent chair love love it ty the rug i never would have thought of but love the idea

thank you all for your time . i truly am thankful. my husband has the family room he is decorating and im doing this room it may or may not have become a competition hahahah

i will get the room size asap . i love the patternen and i think grey will be a good option as there is a lot of green and brown in the room

Cute, "his" and "her" rooms! Gotta love that.

yes i am for sure my room will win hahahahaha. we just moved in and have redone the whole house right down to the tiles lol.

This is a little more traditional; I don't know your budget, but thought they both would look nice in your room:

Both from pottery barn

oh i love the print the grey is great love the design

I would go with a sisal rug and banding could be black, green, or grey. With the different texture and color of straw sisal will afford ease in selecting furniture options. Good luck.

Just FYI ... the gray pottery barn area rug is $500 for the 8ft x 10 ft size.

Oh i love it ty grear option for sure especially since the room looks so dark

Ty everyone i ferl like i have more direction now on what would looks good

Room is 11x15 what size rug should i go with

several ideas:

a) going light..texture is somewhat repeating your pattern. you're relying on texture rather than color

b) picking up one color from your curtains(btw love them, even love the accent wall while I'm usually not a fan). obviously can be any other color you prefer

c) the most daring one-picking up all the colors and introducing some(which can be easily repeated in other accents, to tie it all in). It being a totally different, much calmer patter, will help not to compete with the curtains..and will allow for still being bold with accessories, just as an example:

(they're all from Anthropologie so the prices are allover..went with ideas rather than with budget..:)

you also need to be mindful of what the rug is made of, technique, etc. some will be more durable, some less, some will require more maintenance than others, some will withstand a lot of traffic some won't..you'll want to make sure you'e picking the rug that suits your lifestyle and the function of your room.

and d) one can live happily in a room for years without a rug..especially when he/she has beautiful wood floors that are probably not too cold or slippery etc, and wait until a rug he really likes blinks at him..:)

true it's easier to start with the rug but sometimes it happens not in that order, and it's fine too. rooms are not becoming done at once(or maybe they're never fully done-they develop over time), and rug(unlike a mattress for example) is not an immediate necessity. you can take your time on that and still have comfortable and beautiful room

I'd never have anything if I started with rugs because every rug I'm ready to commit to is somehow several grands..so I'm willing to wait. I'm even willing to live without a rug happily ever after. I need to really love something big like that..so either it will be in stars, or it won't.

(yes I know a lot about second-hand and internet resources like ecarpetgallety..all of these, I highly recommend. Will take time; or one might get lucky and just stumble upon something really soon. You never know. But you won't stumble upon something if you don't look for it really often, that's for sure))

Congratulations on your new house!

just to add..when you choose something eventually-keep in mind your tiles in the hallway..unless you plan to change them. They're a bit off with your preferred colors. And you can see them from the room. Then going with this light light brown from the curtains(or lighter..but within the same range..as in Flo's example, or the first one I posted) would be your best bet.

But seeing as you love these colors, and if tiles are easy fix(not a lot of them, etc..I don't know how far they go)-I'd be willing to sacrifice and replace tiles.

Hard surfaces are hard in all meanings of the word:) they restrict us more. Some you work around, some, you might decide you don't want to work around them.

But they're always to be considered.

Do you have another picture of your curtains that show the whole drape hung? The pattern looks quite large.

the tiles are actually a light brown hard to see in the pic probably. the curtain has the same tan and brown as floors it does have a bit of a gold or redish tent. we just laid all the floors painted all walls ceilings in the house . lots of work done. thanks i love the idea of introducing other colors and textures .

ah great then. was hard to see it's light brown that's true. colors are notoriously hard to capture in a photo unless you have either great light, great camera, or even better both. that combo rarely happens when one shoots his own house, some colors don't come through as they are IRL
