You never know what more important function issues may arise after you move in. Once your furniture, art and accessories are there it may not be so noticeable.

Agree with above comment. Ignore it. It is a neutral.

Long ago I had a green rug a house I bought from my grandparents of my husbands and I inherit their yellow couch with the green stripe with the floral design in it I kind of like the couch and the rug with it OK

My phone was a cooperate ing OK crazy phone And I never got used to the green completely the I changed out the rug Butter rug underneath it add this bumpy floor cause the house was once in a flood And that was another reason why I changed out the carpeting so it had more padding because it didn't have patting

P ADD ING This is crazy phone!

What colour would you have wanted it be? Looks pretty neutral. What would be more of an issue for me would be the weird dining room light.

I think this Inspiration down below has a lot that works with your color carpet. To me it is a very hip living room that can be achieved in your space.

The photos make it look more grey than it is in real life; it is truly an army/khaki green. The wall paint will need to be refreshed anyway so I am mostly curious if there are ideas for colors that will help it look more fresh and modern.

Congratulations on your new home. It looks like a great first place. The carpet looks less green in the pictures. I agree that once you move in with your things it will be less noticeable. Without knowing what furniture and colors you are bringing in these are just general suggestions. Keep in the back of your mind what you ultimately want it to look like and work towards that goal. Without spending to much money find some pillows that have some of that color in them. With the great natural lighting you have in the space live plants will bring life and more green into the room. Get neutral drapes that will work with any change you plan. I would paint and change lighting first. Habitat restores are great places to pick up things along with Craigslist, Facebook marketplace and thrift and consignment stores. Think less about finding the perfect piece that may take years to find and more about the perfect piece for now. If I don't spend a lot for something I don't feel guilty changing it when I find something I like better. Check out houzz pictures and save ALL that you like. You will find there are common colors, styles and arrangements that you like. Use them to put your home together. Copy the feel more than the look. Buy things you love instead of following a trend. Let the fun begin

If you tap on "More Info" there are a lot of questions asked on the Inspiration Picture I posted.

More than one person asked what color paint was on the walls,

Answer:

"Kerrie Kelly Design Lab

Fantastic room! Check out Sherwin Williams' Suitable Brown, SW7054".

"Kelly Porter

A similar color is Timber Wolf 1600 by Benjamin Moore".

Hope this helps.

HI -- Have you looked to see what is under that carpet ? If it is a concrete base then you could just remove the carpet and have polished concrete floors with some pretty area carpets . If it has a wood base then that can be painted with a good porch paint . Other than that then just put interesting area carpets over to distract from it. Once your furniture is in then it will be less obvious . A person I know pulled out all the old ugly carpet in her home and smoothed out the wood base floor and painted it all white and kept it because she loves it so much . She has kids and dogs and the floor has lasted the test of time and it looks great.and no it does not show dirt . So have a peek to see what is under the green !!

Congrats on your new place!

One thing that is in your favour is: the 60's are back in style. Which included green carpet (yuck...I hate green but sometimes you do what you gotta do). You can embrace this and make it the back drop for some serious Danish Modern inspired interiors.

Have you heard of Eames chairs? Yep. That's the type of stuff I'm talking about. Deep walnut coloured wood is going to look AWESOME on this carpet. You can go 50's - 70's eclectic (shopping at consignment stores will do well for this look) without too much effort.

If you really want to go whole hog, you can really make this space groovy! Yah Baby!

Have the carpet professionally cleaned. It may be more green than khaki. Then you can choose more appropriate colors. Pick up a dozen greenish paint chips at the store, then circle the two or three that are closest to the carpet color. Then go on the paint company's website and see what it says are the coordinating colors. There will be a tan and an off white.

Thanks!! I believe it has been cleaned recently. Since we’re in escrow the next time I visit I’ll bring some paint chips and see what coordinates.

I also thought warmer accent walls might help wake up the space and draw the eyes up off the floor, any idea?

Maybe my vision is off, doesn’t look very green to me at all. More grey.

I kind of like it and I think the last two Rebekah Gibbs posted would look great. I do wonder is that carpet in the kitchen?

Edit to add: Out of all flooring options carpet is often the cheapest thing you can install of course with various grades of quality. Depending on your finances if you absolutely hate it you may want to investigate how much it would be. Doesn't look to be a huge amount of it.

The greenery outside may be coloring the rug's impression a bit. Hang a white sheet over the window and see if it changes.
