I realize this rug is too small, it was a temporary one. I have another rug just like it in there right now but it’s bigger, the furniture sits on the rug.

You have a very beautiful home. Have you considered a tone on tone (ie one color) rug? Your fireplace plus your rug is very busy. They both have a busy pattern. Its not a put down at all - it is just something that you need to perhaps balance.

If I got a shag rug I’d be happy with it being one color because of the texture, but other than that don’t really know if I would want some thing one color. Will probably be boring with the solid color couch.
