5 years agoI think something that combines the traditional look you have going with maybe a more modern color or in this case a little less bold but with a similar Filigree design you would typically find with very traditional decorations.

I have moved the shelf to the side wall and think you should consider stacking art behind the lamps and selecting a larger framed & lined canvas for over the sofa. I would select a rug with some rust tones in it.
All the framed prints together on the dining room wall don't seem to be the same quality as the rest of your room, so I would replace those with an arrangement of hanging decorative plates.
Here are some examples pf decorative plates
For the dining room I would select a rug that has touches of celery like the color of the ceramic lamps on the sideboard.

Comments (10)esale has this great tool where you can insert rugs into your uploaded photo. I just grabbed the first interesting rug that came up in the search. esalerugs.com Make sure you get the proper size, bigger is better. If you aren't sure about an online rug, order the smallest size available to check the color and texture. It will be much easier to return if you don't like it....See MoreHelp me choose an area rug for dining room
Comments (9)It's a lovely room but I would choose a larger rug which will make the room look even more elegant and rich. A rug with a border, such as the two directly above, gives a more finished look. Also, a rug with a bit more color variation, perhaps gray or cream with a soft terracotta, would lend more life to your dining room....See Moredining room rug to coordinate with living room rug

Comments (12)Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I like the idea of some blue in the rug to pull from the photo above the fireplace, but I couldn't seem to find the right blue. A lot of the carpets had too bright of a blue. I'm limited to choices though because I'll only order from somewhere that has a store in my area where I can easily return the rug if I don't like it. I've decided to give this Safavieh carpet a try, I have it on order. I'm hoping the pattern and texture will provide enough interest. I'll work on the chair after that. I wonder if a chair with blue in it will still work if I get this carpet? I can tie the chair in by adding a few more toss cushions to the couch with blue in them and a couple of blue accessories throughout the rest of the space....See More

I just ordered two there today myself. You might look and see if anything appeals to you, as there are some good deals to be had. Many of us who have participated here for a long time have been pleased with our purchases from that site. (Not spam; no affiliation whatsoever.)
No idea what your budget is, but this 9'5" x 12'7" Persian Tabriz baby is fab. Traditional in design, but the colors give it a unique twist.

5 years agoThank you alll for your great input on rugs! Honestly love them all!
In the meantime, before I go out and shop for more art to use
over my sofa, I’ve been going through my “stash” of pictures.
I have the picture below hanging in my shabby chic guest room.
When does “art”become dated?
