Thank you for your responses. I agree, the rug is a mismatch. Should I get a differe color? Like blue to tie in the blue wall color? I’m also thinking of putting a bench on the opposite side (pic below)

. What color would you recommend? Navy blue or beige?

You've done a good job with your room. If you're not happy with it, it may be because it's a little too monochromatic. If you're changing out the rug for a larger one, then incorporate a little bit of that dark red from your art and your floor into the rug. This isn't quite right but some grays and mahogany.

--Consider all white/ivory or very pale gray curtains to lighten the space.

Please consider a patterned fabric for your drapes and add color to your room, not blue or beige.

What is your favorite color? Use that. I don't understand your using dark or bland colors in a room that does not "get much light".

I really like the pattern of your rug and I think it compliments your other elements well. However, it's much too small. As others have commented, it needs to be large enough that your couches at least partially sit on it. I also really love your accent wall of navy! Here's what I would do: punch up that accent wall by painting the fireplace mantel and bookcase the same navy. Put bright colored/metallic accents on the shelves. Move your curtain rods up 6-10" and get drapes that touch the floor. Maybe drapes that add a different texture to the room like velvet or linen? And add a larger coffee table – once you get a larger rug the existing coffee table will look like a small island in a large sea :) I see you have a metallic accent table – maybe a metallic coffee table?

Wow Celerygirl. How did you do that? I’d love to try this out before I waste time buying things at the store and then returning coz it doesn’t look good at home. Thanks!

While I love all your choices I feel like they don't really work best with cherry floors..I feel like those floors are requiring more warmer color scheme (beige, creams, yellow, reds..). Like in the pictures bellow.

If I were you I'd replace current drapes with drapes with warm undertone and paint the blue wall accordingly. And yes, rug in warmer (or neutral) undertone too..

A round or square coffee table large enough to reach from any seat works well with an L shaped sofa configuration.

We'd actually try a larger rug, and since you have a blue accent wall, why not try incorporating blue into the room? Here are some of our designs to aid you with this dilemma:

Your draperies should be longer, at least halfway between the ceiling and the window casing. And I agree that some kind of pattern with multi colors to match whatever rug you get. Then use the colors in accent pillows.

I would purchase a larger jute rug and layer your current one over the jute (as shown in the photo). Then purchase some pillows and a throw to add more texture.
