I think your curtains are odd man out.

Also, can't see what the present seating is...a sectional, what style? But, I would go with the camel color in rug and the tone of the wood legs, probably in a leather.

Love your rug. I would get something in the mustard color that's in the rug. Why a loveseat? I think the room would look less cramped with a chair.

Agree with what others have said, that a comfy chair might be a better option in terms of space. Whether you get a loveseat or a chair, I wouldn't advise getting such a big piece of furniture in as dark of a color as your curtains. I think a natural light gray or a light purple would do better.

chair and new curtains. Pillows for sectional in bright colors.

I fifth the chair suggestion!

Yep a chair, not a loveseat, and why is the seating on top of the TV. Can you slide any of it back?

If you want the area to appear larger, your space requires a larger rug.

Thanks all for your input. Will happily take your advice about a simple armchair instead of a love seat. May I ask what is wrong with the curtains? The colour is the same as the scatter cushion detail on the sofa and thought it looked good but perhaps not! The left hand side of the room is a home cinema setup, we have other more social seating in the kitchen/diner but still want the living room cosy for movie nights and general relaxing in front of the TV.

If you like the blue, you should use it in a few different places. If you get a new rug, make sure it has a little bit of blue in it. Can't tell on my monitor that your cushion is blue.

Here is a rug that would tie in with your sectional and the blue curtains. Yellow chair would still work but you would need a few more yellow items. Should do at least 3 things in the room in your color choices. Cushions, books, flowers, art etc. You'll have to see what you have available. Gray, blue and yellow work great together.

A rug and curtains should work together and yours don’t. I’ve provided ideas below and chose the curtains to work from, as the rug feels busy in the small space. Suggest also going with a larger rug, so all front legs are on the rug. A chair and a half would be a good compromise and is more comfy than a single chair. Cushions and rug choices will pull the whole look together.

The Mrs says she loves the rug and the curtains but I will slyly keep a lookout for a better looking rug I could propose. We buy most things second hand so will just keep an eye out. Here is a better picture of our sofa with the blue scatter cushions matching curtains

You have curtains that are skimpy and blinds. If you want privacy, light control, consider cellular or roman shades bottom-up/top-down in pretty fabric. Just because a window treatment matches an accessory does not mean it coordinates. Review the good advice previously mentioned.

We often buy an item because we really like it (on its own) and its price, but it may not work in the scheme of things. Each of your selections are fine on their own, but not together.

You could keep curtains (or just use sheers) and your cushions (suggest less) by adding a natural fibre rug (go larger) and you can’t beat Ikea’s prices.

Even better would be to remove curtains/sheers and use rattan blinds.

If you like your rug the best, suggest new cushions and only add a few, remove curtains and just keep sheers. Budget wise this may be the best.

Thanks Maureen, yes the curtains are staying. We will try and look for a new rug, something neutral as you suggested, definitely not a colourful one but with blue in it? ;) Then a grey chair I suppose.

Also thinking of a smallish circular coffee table in dark wood to go with the floor/blinds

Thanks

Chair could be cream, blue, grey, depends on the rug as well.

You could do something like neutral chair and rug. Then add some pillows with navy blue to tie in with the curtains.

Thanks all, I think we're going to try and get this chair and then a new (neutral) rug.

Planning on a small coffee table as well in dark wood to go with floor.
