area rug to go with blue velvet couch?
Hi! I just got this sectional that I LOVE but need help picking an area rug to go underneath it! The rug there now is 6x9 so I’m thinking 5x7 for a new one - any help would be so so appreciated!

You can do just about anything here. Any certain styles you like? I think you might still need a 6x9, to pull it in front of the chaise legs a bit.Caroline Lauer

Comments (23)I think the rug is fine, just pull the sectional away from the wall so you don't have that expanse of space to the left. Furniture shouldn't really be smack against the wall anyway. Another suggestion- Have you thought about painting the back wall of your shelving unit another color than brown? Right now it looks very dark. Why not take some posterboard/chipboard, you can buy huge ones for a dollar at the dollar store and paint them them different colors and cut them to fit the back of the shelves (not the shelves themselves.) Also see what you think about your wall color, some of the colors in your carpet, too. You can also use the same chipboard and cover it with wrapping paper, fabric or wall paper, something rather neutral so your children's artwork will shine. This way, it will be temporary and you can change it up any time the mood strikes, and you can involve your children in the project, too....See MoreBlue velvet couch. Rug help?
Comments (7)What a beautiful idea for the table! Yes, I would get a rug big enough to fit under a bit of your couch and at least the front legs of the chair you plan to put by the window. Whether you go bold or muted for the rug I think depends a lot on if you are planning to add a lot of bold/colorful art to the walls and any accessories. If the walls are going to be minimally decorated, go bolder in the rug and vice versa. Just my unprofessional opinion....See MoreRug for bright sapphire navy velvet sofa
Comments (36)I ended up going with the yellow rug, because of my teenager actually loved it(!!) and she’s in a phase where she doesn’t like pink, even though I love all the bohemian rugs with a lot of fuchsia and pink in them!!!...See More

last yearSince your space is so tight, might consider a irregular shaped rug. Round coffee table and art for wall above sectional. You might have to get the thermostat moved. Not a big deal. Why would a electrician put a thermostat in that spot? Ridiculous.

I like the direction you’re wanting to go, especially bringing in color and softness. :) You might want to look more for a Persian/Oriental style, or Soumak. Luxurious.
Also, for more room inspiration, search things like ’rugs with blue velvet sofas’ or ’decorating with blue velvet sofas’ … etc.
I think with so much gray background, bringing in warm, deep colors will make such a difference. I do like the animal print, too, though … with that, you could bring in color with art, window treaments, pillows, and other things.ETA: Forgot to post this good-looking Nourison rug:

Are you planning lamps? I got my DD this one for her apt (she has a mix of modern, traditional, vintage) … she loves it:

I really like those first two. I think the slightly faded look is fine with your decor, but that’s subjective. If you can order a sample, it might help you decide.
Here’s the second one. I like it:
This won’t be where the rug is placed, of course, but I just wanted to show how nice bringing in color looks from this view, too. It ties in well with the wood tones of the barstools:
I think either of the first two would look great. I really like the colors — how they warm up the space, but still play well with the grays. And when you add art, pillows, lamps, etc, it’s going to look so collected and fantastic!Both look really good with grays:
