Would you consider doing two new pillows so you don’t just have two mismatched pillows? I know you’re keeping the middle pillow but I actually like the first and third fabrics together for two pairs of accent pillows...anywhere else you could use the middle pillow?

I agree with Mountain. All these prints are too similar. Maybe a floral or stripe or even a solid. If you could find a print with both the navy and the rust, that would be great. ETA I just read what Robo wrote and I do think those two prints would work together, but I think you need to introduce another color into the pillows - that's alot of navy.

Florals are my "red" ;) and might even be too curvy given the rug in this small 10x12 room.

The final choice of sofa fabric is not displayed in the above photo of the rug. It is a lighter/duskier blue than the samples displayed. There is no navy in the carpet either.

I've identified other fabrics I like in shades of blue that might compliment the sofa, but I think the scale is also too similar to the rust pillow. I'm waiting for samples of the fabrics below to see scale and color. Both are described as slate blue, but don't look like slate blue in the photos.

I don't have anywhere else to use the rust pillow and it's a nice counterpoint to the sofa. Given the size of the room and the boldness of the rug, I may have to go with a solid. I just haven't found the right shade AND I'd like to find a solid with a "profile" such as trapunto or matelasse. I guess the hunt continues.

I love your rug and that in itself will make for a very interesting room. Have you looked at etsy pillows. Houzz has some nice ones too but they seem rather pricey, at least for the ones I seem to like.

ingrid, the polka dot one is from etsy, but it's the wrong size and the fabric is currently out of stock. The etsy seller is sending me scraps to figure out whether it will work scale/colorwise.

Re top picture - The sizes of patterns of the rust pillow and the bottom fabric are too close in scale and I don't like the colours of the rust pillow and the top fabric. However I do like the two fabric samples together!

What about a flamestich pattern with your colours, the size is between the rust pillow pattern scale and the rug pattern scale.

Not necessarily this fabric or colours

Had not even considered flame stitch! Thank you blfenton. That really does appeal to me in the right colors. Thank you!

I don’t know if fits with your vibe, but how about a solid background with a large flower embroidered on the pillow or large dimensional flower overlay?

Something like this but in one of your colors and a different fabric perhaps.

OutsidePlaying - I wish I could go with florals/flowers, but they create a visceral negative feeling for me. Thank you, though, for your help!

Might this work to incorporate both the blue and rust with some curves that (if you squint) might look like flowers or is it still too linear? The scale is much larger than the rust pillow.

I also found this one but the blue is out of stock:
