The rug? It's staying or going? The curtains??

Design is more than paint .

Though not generally a fan of anything resembling pink for a wall color myself, what you have -- walls/floor -- go well together. Unless the paint is somehow worn or damaged, if you like the color, wouldn't think you need to paint.

I would update the curtains and sofa before the walls. With the dark floors the old finishings are just too dark and heavy now. You need lighter items to balance and contrast.

the rug is new got it to lighten things up and bring in a touch o blue. Was going to carry that in with artwork over fireplace. Walls are gold. Curtains have to stay, they were too pricey

was going for a look like this and will attach some others

Lighter walls and a darker rug, and overall more color please. Right now there is no focal point in this room, and I hope you'll consider a fantastic painting over the fireplace and ditch all the small stuff on the mantel. With such a very dark floor the light rug just looks wrong. In nature you have the brown earth, then green grass and trees and then the lighter blue of the sky. Try a warm colored rug (like an Oriental, which has many colors), a glass coffee table which will show the rug instead of the weighty, chunky ottoman, off-white walls and drapes that are not much darker than the walls to open up this room. Pillows with colors taken from the rug which will tie the color scheme together, and then art on the walls in rich colors to glow against the light walls.

Why that rug if the curtains must stay? Because you can't "decorate" your way into the creamy palette of your inspiration with a dark leather sofa, dark curtains, dark floor. ....and dark wood pieces. Not even with paint: ) Pick your palette . I think that's your first decision.

Your new pretty rug is taking you in a direction that your walls and curtains don’t seem to work with.
