Very pretty rug. If you choose it, then consider adding more warmth -cream-beige to your room through art, pillows, or accents-vase/flowers, or ?

Thank you DK! I always tend to pick cool colors, so I thought the rug would be good inspiration to bring in some warmth. I definitely plan to do more once I get the rug.

I like the rug for your room. Be sure to come back with photos of it in your space if you buy it!

Pretty rug. I think it will add some lightness to the space. This pillow might look nice with it.

Yes very pretty in your space. Just make sure you get the right size.

I also like the rug. Nice image from celerygirl. Yes, get the right size.

Just throwing this out there (in case the bed and nightstands want to come out of hiding :))

Haha, come out of hiding. I love it! And thank you all for the feedback, and celerygirl for the awesome inspiration picture! I bought the rug. Will definitely update when it arrives. I am currently looking for a new comforter. Baby steps. :)

Please share info on this rug.

The field of the rug will be lost under the bed, and IMO, the field is what makes it special.

Thanks for the image celerygirl. I think the pillows look great with the rug! I think you should stick with a solid color for the comforter. Maybe a soft off white. Or this hotel style with the champagne embroidery.

Kat you have such lovely taste!

Sixkeys, have you considered a ceiling fan? Lots don't care for them, but necessity.... :)

How kind of you pennydesign! I have absolutely no experience or background in this but have always enjoyed putting elements together to try and create a cohesive design. Your contributions are always spot on and well appreciated from what I've seen on several dilemmas.

Progress! Getting our new bed this weekend. The rug is from esalerugs. As expected, it isn't a crazy nice rug in terms of texture. But I figured most of it would be under a bed anyways. Photo taken before rug pad trimmed down.

I didn't know you were getting a new bed...it wasn't in your original post. What else is going to be new? Because that would make a huge difference to the responses you would get.

Sorry for not mentioning it! We are getting a king bed instead of the queen and I actually ordered almost the same headboard because I like it a lot and it fits my small space. I think the new headboard looks a touch lighter than the one pictured.

I am thinking of just keeping the nightstands for now, but I need a new lamp for one side (removing the small dark grey lamp). I have a matching lamp for the white one in my living room so I could use that. One day I might change the nightstands but it isn't a high priority.

Also working on a new comforter. And maybe 2 small black fans so they blend in more?

Why not just have a ceiling fan? Sorry if you mentioned this before...Agree with you to wait on everything else until the bed is in place. Proportions of other things will look different..

Looking good! One question, is that pad good with your floor?

The rug is very pretty. It's a great match with your walls and I also like the warm colors in it.

penny - we both prefer fans right in our faces. Another issue for me is that I am a super duper light sleeper so it gives great white noise (plus I wear earplugs). So I think the fans will stay as a lifestyle compromise to good sleep.

hollybar - from my understanding it is good for hardwood floors. The brand is Spillguard.

Bed is here! Hoping to install the headboard this weekend. Kind of surprised that my queen comforter somewhat fits on it.

I'm wondering whether or not the rug is square. If not, do you have the longer dimension running from one side of the bed to the other? If the rug in the other direction is a little shorter, I'd try rotating the rug so that you have just a little more space between the rug and the wall with the windows. If the rug is square, never mind. :) The rug looks great in your room! Also, I'd definitely add the matching white lamp you said you have in your living room. I like the light color against the dark wall.

The rug is 8x10 and I put it horizontal to the bed. I was thinking if I put it "vertically" then it would look funny with the edges of the rug being too far inside the edge of the nightstand. Hopefully that makes sense.

I am definitely open to other rug placement. We have to move everything around this weekend to place the headboard.

I would give it a try, as long as you'll be moving everything around in order to place the new headboard. What is across from the foot of the bed?

There is no other furniture in the room. I would like to add something, but not overwhelm the space. We don't need a dresser. Maybe a small desk and chair? Bench at the foot of the bed?

Here is the other long blank wall. The door to the bathroom is behind the lamp.

A big piece of art and a tall plant for the corner.

How many inches do you have between the end of the bed and the wall and the side of the bed and other blank wall. I hate to see you cover up any more of your beautiful rug with a bench but perhaps you could add one the the blank wall on the side of the bed with artwork or gallery photos above

following.....your room will be beautiful....love the rug!

I think art is enough...especially the mural that I showed early on...

You could put a chair in a corner, but I find that, mostly, they become a place to throw clothes..

Here is the room layout. I agree about not doing a bench at the end of the bed. I would probably be annoyed walking around it to my side of the bed. :)

Do you have any paint left over? If so, can you please give your vent a coat of gray?

I hate that vent! I've always pondered painting it. Thanks for giving me the reminder!

Looks like you would have plenty of room for a bench on the side wall if you wanted it.

Just got this comforter in the mail. I am pattern-averse, so I don't know if I love it. I tend to go with mostly neutral things. Any thoughts on this one?

I would stick to something solid in color. Maybe white or a color from the area rug.

Nope...don't love it either..

Wandered over to Pottery Barn (not a fan, frankly, but they do enjoy their mix of grays and beiges...) And I think this is something that would look great. It's layering of both colors and textures...

You could adjust the amounts to have more grays, but I think a natural linen would be a good starting point...

I can't say I'm a fan either. It seems too light for the cozy style you have going on. I agree with something in a solid, maybe a bit deeper. Maybe something along these lines to bring in some of the warm colors in the rug?

This warm sand is very pretty too.

I would look for a burnt butterscotch velvet or a deep charcoal linen, in the same ballpark as the walls. Textured but not obvious pattern. I'd save pattern for a pillow or two. But I like some drama in my master. And if the rug can move a bit toward the the empty wall, I would :-)

OOOhhh linen and velvet! WIth a furry throw? Yummy..(and kinda sexy but I only thought that and didn't really say it out loud)

I got this taupe one in the mail this afternoon. I moved the headboard nearby. Does the light taupe look good against the headboard? I like this concept but don't think I have the right one quite yet.

The taupe is a little too light against everything else. I think you need to go a bit darker.

Beautiful room. You could also fold the duvet at base of bed and get a sand colored quilt.

Not really a fan. I think you can do better.

Because I'm looking for a cheapo one for a bottom of the bed cover: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CSLF4BS/ref=twister_B07CV7X81L?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
