njmomma, that first rug is a real kick in the pants! Love, love it. :)

Rosalyn, I like the rug you have now. Is it just way past its prime or are you tired of looking at it? Reminds me a little of a quilt! What are you looking for in terms of pattern? I get the colors you want.

If you want to bring some colors

Ashland blue area rug.

If not then go with something natural/neutral

This has all your colors and has a different personality than the one you have...all your colors including a greige background. Also on sale and available in a number of sizes.

Great colors! So nice to see a room that's not various shades of gray.

I don't think you need to worry about "bringing out" the blue, yellow or any of your colors. They're already out!

You might want to go with a rug that competes less with your color palette.

A new coffee table that works better with the vibe. That's the one thing that is holding your room back.

First rug kick in the pants is Sedona from HD...great price!

all beautiful suggestions but celerygirl's ashland one hope I have the right one with shades of blue and beige is stunning.

I have an acrylic table from CB2, but looking at the pink on the rug drove my husband crazy, so I traded it out! =D

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone! The reason I wanted to get a new rug that brought out blue, yellow, orange and grey is because I am sick of the pink in my current rug. I've had it 3-4 years and just want to change it. up. Open to pillow and rug upgrades. I'm so blown away by all of your comments and suggestions! Thank you!

What size are you needing and would you mind sharing your budget? Any preference for material? Do you want to stay in the same lane as far as pattern that you have or are you ready to shake it up? Any of the above shown interest you but may not be quite "right" ? When rugs are shown, your input as to what you like or don't like will help give us direction in looking rather than feeling we are shooting a dart in the dark and hope it lands :)

So, are there any offerings you like, or shall we begin a new search? If we know the rug you love then we can do pillows. This has been fun!

Hi Karen and Tedbixby!

I'm so embarrassed it took me so long to respond --

I don't like floral rugs or anything with flowers, but recognize the colors are awesome.

I am trying to avoid pinks and purples. I like the black and white striped rug, as well as the blue ashland area rug from celery girl, but it didn't feel quite right. I, too, would prefer the room to not be muted blues and grays, which is why I thought bringing out the yellows and oranges to contrast would be a good idea.

Rug info:

Budget: around $2000

Size: 7x9 (roughly)

Material: Preferably natural, and soft. *not shag* and nothing that feels rough to walk on.

I'd love to hear other rug suggestions, or if you think those two work, move on to pillows!

Thank you *so* much! I'm so grateful.

No problem as life gets busy. You mention if we think those two would work. What ones are you referring to? Are you happy with both or either of them. As we don't want you to settle.

Rosalyn, I think these are the two rugs you referenced. What do you like most about the Ashland rug...and what do you not like? Do you want more colors (larger array) than we find in the Ashland? Did I understand you to say the black/white one is a consideration but you're not thrilled? Thoughts?

Here are two more along with the Ashland rug. If we can know the type of rug, type of pattern you would prefer then we can focus on quality and "softness" to the feet.

Hi Karen,

Thanks so much for your feedback. Open to almost any pattern, more into geometric or transitional styles (really anything but floral and traditional)..

I'd prefer more colors in than are in the ashland rug, specifically a rug that incorporates a little bit of the bright blue to pick up the blue of the chairs? Other than that yellow, orange and gray?

At the same time, I'm open to trying new things -- I'd just never thought about a black and white rug there!

Open to suggestions, and maybe if I did do the black and white rug, with the right pillows it would be pulled altogether. Here is another photo of the room for reference.

Rosalyn, let's take a mathematical approach to this room. Your primary color is that beautiful blue. Secondary is your very neutral gray sectional...a great way to ground everything. Your tertiary is the pretty and happy yellow. So...my recommendation is to pick up the gray (if you can) to ground the rug and create even more balance with your major upholstery piece. Next I would certainly bring in some yellow and/or other colors you love. My question is what are you trying to achieve with your rug. Is something missing? Do you feel you need more of your primary color to achieve something specifically. I posted the gray/yellow rug but I don't see you embracing it. Is it the color combo, the design, the repetition of the pattern? Your thoughts?

I just looked at your photo again and realized maybe that blue wall is the only one painted that color? If so, then the blue is not your primary after all. You may have a battle between gray and blue for primary position. If that's the case, then pick one of the two for the primary color of the rug and then throw in yellow, red, and some gray, etc. (whatever you want). Tell me about the other walls maybe with photos?

Following along here, I too thought the whole room was blue. I looked at the first post and the OP wrote that it is an accent wall.. I think Karen's suggestions above about tackling it mathematically is helpful.

I kindly suggest a rug much more muted. The blue is beautiful and gets your attention... greys and yellows..

Also, the chairs are awesome but you can barely see them, I would not use pillows on those.

My 2 cents.

following.... as I too will be "looking" for a new area rug, for the new build....

Ted, love, love, love that rug! Crossed fingers on that one.

I hope with this much enthusiasm that someone will have the ability to photoshop them into the room. My pay level is that I can do the Houzz sketches which are helpful but Garden Wed doesn't allow the sketch to be transferred to the thread. Which is crazy as I can on the Design Dilemma. Go figure!

I also can "sketch" but no p.shop! I have this rug which is a fluid look. Not sure how it would look. I love both yours and mine! LOL

Ros- Different direction... Does kilim pillows and/or rugs interest you at all? Since there are so many out there, I didn't want to spent a lot of time looking if that isn't something that interest you. These are just to give you a "feel" though the patterns and colors are all over the place.

Not the best but better than nothing..

Love the furniture, paint and room, but I think the current rug is too busy competing with everything else. I would go for a more muted rug and let the accessories stand out.

This is a fun rug.

Hansen, love your first rug! Beautiful.

Not a pro. Go to Rugsusa and load your picture and play around. Based on examples above:

I sure hope Rosalyn comes back. I would love to have you all searching for my stuff for days and then I come back and decide.

I really like the rug that Karen said is her favorite, but, I think maybe it doesn't have the other colors she wants. The last rug right above this post (multi colored) I think is more vibrant than I might want but I think it works for what Rosalyn was asking . The one above that one works but it looks too much like what is already there.

Rosalyn- what do you think??
