I wanted to put the rug right next to your fabric to see how it looks! :-) I like it! All of the rugs that I posted, except for the braided rug, came from www.selectrugs.com. You'll have to go in and use their search feature -- I was searching under floral rugs and traditional rugs in ivory/beige shades. (I have ordered from Select Rugs and have been very pleased with their service.)

Thanks for responding. I believe I am more on the contemporary side but then again I could be traditional but I think its more contemporary. But here is the rug I was looking at but it has circles and I think this will clash with the drapes. If I can find something that is elegant that would be fine also but it is a family room! here is the rug: a href="http://s108.photobucket.com/albums/n13/ambitiousbeginner/?action=view&current=SilkDrapes.jpg" target="_blank"> I DON'T THINK SO.....looks funny together. The rug is from Nieman Marcus but I am not willing to pay over $2000.00 for it. My budget is $1000.00 or less. I'M A CHEAPIE :-) The rug seems to have all my colors. As soon as I find the disk to upload to my computer then I can post a picture of my family room. Thanks for any suggestions...I am open to all...all of you have such good taste.

Try this......move the ottoman where your coffee table is now just to see if a darker plane will give you the "anchorage" you're looking for. If that does the trick then you can either purchase a new, dark coffee table or paint the base of your existing one. I think adding an area rug will make the space seem too closed in. I like all your colors.

Thanks for the suggstions! Yes, we were going to pull rug out more. Wanted to buy area rug a ittle large, maybe not so much brown in it. Table in corner with lamp matches coffee table. Have TV wires and TV box on bottom shelf of it. Can I just get a taller lamp? Was going to move sewing box somewhere else. Can't put three seats facing TV/fireplace. The TV used to be on wall where the rocker is now but I moved TV over the fireplace to make a reading nook. There is a "walkway" in front of the rocker in this small family room that goes to the right to stairs, living and dining area. The family room area is small and broken up by that area that needs to be kept clear. I had two couches before and they were too big. Regular one was under window and loveseat was where small part of sectional is now. Arms overlapped. Maybe I should have gotten different sectional configuration. Just two seats and two seats? Just bought this one :( Moved here 5 yearsago from larger home, just retired, and trying to decorate bit by bit. I don't have decorating confidence in my purchases but I sort of know what looks good. Also want to get new rocker or glider/recliner because this one hurts my neck - pushes neck out. Not sure what color to get or fabric/leather. I like the lamps you picked out. But maybe white or lighter color shade near sofa, which has a grayish tweedy look. Room is rather dark at night. Do you do online decorating assistance? Here in San Diego the decorators I have looked up are for high end price points. Thanks, N.
