So lots of thoughts and good ideas from everyone. Let me explain the space a little more. This room is actually my bedroom. It is a 1920's home and no bedroom is very large, but with 5 of them, a new owner could easily merge two rooms to create a wonderful master suite. As much as I love the clean lines of sisal, I'm having a hard time reconciling the fact that it will feel dreadful on barefeet. All those knobby areas! But I'm not saying a definite no, as I like the lines. A lot. Graywings, I am a former realtor and I generally agree about dark colors and small rooms, but I think I can get away with leaving this one as long as the rest of the room feels visually lighter. I did take down the four poster bed frame and the duvet I'll be using is very airy feeling. Plus, I don't want to spend more money on painting. Here are another picture of my room to help with scale. The second window is on the wall next to the bed. Also, thoughts on painting the dresser? That's an easy fix.here's another room that is just about done, just waiting for the rug (shades of green) to arrive. And finally, if you're curious, here is what my house looks like. jo

Overstock.com has many similar rugs; this one is an 8 x 10, 100% wool and a terrific sale price. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Safavieh-Handmade-Bella-Grey-Multi-Wool-Rug-8-x-10/11744903/product.html?refccid=URXZLHJC6PZJSVKD7FMOLJ73NQ&searchidx=8

The best way to find a rug is to go to sites like are offered in the suggestions...there are literally thousands of options...personally i love wool rugs as they are thicker and heavier and more durable...the corners dont roll up...they dont smash down when you walk on them and they are so easy to keep clean ...the least expensive ones are tufted but they last forever and work in every area of the home...looking good forever...i prefer the ones that have smaller patterns and more color...especially in the sleek contemporary settings ....you seem to have an eye and taste for color as exhibited in your art...and either contemporary or traditional would work in your space...the search is simplified by typing in your color ...size ...material...type ...this will educate you in what is out there as well...lastly they make small sizes that are very inexpensive that can be ordered to see what the rug will look like in your size...and are easy to use elsewhere in the home so you dont have to return them...

Put your centerpiece on the chess table. Is the other ornate dining set for breakfast, gaming or could it be used here? Do you want to continue with the cow head/skin theme, leaning SW in your decor? They aren't really "cozy and elegant," IMO. Is a new chandy in the picture? That one misses the mark on elegance. You need a minimum of 36-42" from the table top to any baseboards or furniture surrounding the table to allow for chair sit/scoot space. I'd do that measurement first. I really wouldn't want the rug jammed up against the exterior wall. Maybe the smaller, round table would be a better choice for using a rug here.
