Please suggest area rug and wall art
Dear experts,
I need help completing the look of my new airbnb. I am thinking of adding some color with area rugs, wall art, and maybe plants.
Thanks a tone in advance.

Need advice on Living Room decoration. Area Rug/Art work/ feature etc.
Comments (23)great advice upthread I'll try to be short, probably repeating several people: -get rid of the white console next to the fireplace/look for smth else instead if you need it there for function -think of other window treatments. curtains? woven blinds? roman shades? any of these will look better. move your sectional a bit from the wall, both to allow room for window treatments and because furniture generally needs at least couple inches to breathe..that wil also make room seem larger -you already purchased the ottoman in the same color and style of the sofa..off white, right? well something different would be better, but it's okay..buy a throw, fold it and put there to break your lines a bit. tray is great too-both for function and beauty. you'll appreciate it when watching this TV -I liked reading how your wife gets her art:) okay..so if there's no real room for other suggestions(I'm also prejudiced against mass produced canvas art..maybe she can be talked into a print instead?..)..put that art there first. Make sure it fits-seems huge?.. Say you go for that a very similar art, you have there-a bit of white, black, brown, indigo blue, fiery yellow white and brown you already have in your room (btw like your furniture) pull your other colors (in pillows and throws and accessories) from that art -deep sophisticated blues, golds. can be metallic accessories (like vases or flower pots?), can be softest fur pillows can be velvet, can be knitted throw. everythhing you buy-make sure it's a different texture..leather is sleek you've got enough of it. Speaking from experience-I also have my fair share of leather:) then look for a big ticket items like curtains and a rug. (or simultaneously..just keep your general scheme in mind). you can decide to make them fairly neutral. repeat the color of the furniture, just different material of course. or go for one vivid deep color but make it a shag rag for example. Don't try to match pattern to art..art has a mind of its own. Look at the room as a whole..what does it ask for? and know yourself of course..say I love many rugs but I don't like to clean them lol. You know whether it's high traffic area, what your habits are, and whether you'll be sad for 5 min if the rug will have spots and then get over it, or will be sad for 5 days. when you buy a side table try, again, to introduce another texture, just different material in this case. maybe wood. maybe ceramics(garden stool?some of these look really modern). every new material you bring creates dimension. Dimension is something you look for when creating spaces. Why? well that what we've used to. Ouside always has it. Even when it's a desert or an ocean. It has depth. we need to recreate it with all sort of ways and means that are availiable to us.. Good luck! will be a cool room edited because of thousand typos..))...See MoreArt work for wall

Comments (17)I think an abstract landscape/water piece, with some color, would look fabulous there … and play into your wonderful views. It would also bring warmth in, while keeping with the very modern style of the room. I’d look on Etsy, on gallery sites, Ebay, and/or visit local places to find a piece that speaks to you. This is a prominent spot — I wouldn’t buy a big piece of generic wall filler. Art here could be the soul of the room. https://magazine.artland.com/top-10-landscape-artists-in-modern-and-contemporary-art/ I do like the idea of three b/w prints you posted — it brings to mind water movement....See MoreHow should I hang art work on these walls?
Comments (5)I'd put blinds Bamboo blinds, more contemporary, on the windows and open the drapery panels on each side of the windows... only need the drapes pulled when you want a total darkness. I'd put large art in the indented area with a table and lamp Ambient lighting is a must for any room. A tall piece of furniture on that tiled floor that meets the carpet. I'd pull the sectional closer to the tiled edge... away from the window move the ottoman to the far side... and the side chair. ... find a new play room for the kitchen set....See More- PRO

4 months agolast modified: 4 months agoI’d skip rug (if concerned about wear and tear and having to shampoo) and also having to keep plants alive, if not living nearby.
Try moving the couch to the left and place a floor lamp in the corner. A large piece of art on that wall (bold in any color/use some black) and add cushions to complement. Repeat the black when accessorizing elsewhere, as it will inject a modern feel.
I saw this on Instagram and if handy, would save you lots of money. Just need to build a frame and staplegun a shower curtain.
A mirror/console on brick wall would be handy and also provide some added personality.
Could add a centrepiece (doubling as a salad bowl when needed) on dining table and suggest rectangle placemats.

4 months agoI have adjusted some items in the TV viewing area. IMO a more solid drape should be used as a divider in this area. I don't think the sheers are working. If you want to keep them, then double them up either by placing more drapes on the rod, or placing two rods with drapes in the location.
I centered your sofa, pulling it away from the wall so there is room for a floor lamp in the corner. It creates a nice area for reading or viewing.
The lounge needs some type of table to place a drink or a book.
The wall can handle a large piece of art of your selecting
IMO a rug for this area is a must for sound. Here are two examples of how different colors would with the sofa and existing finishes.

3 months agoIn addition to the artwork and side table you bought, we suggest a rug to help ground the TV area and perhaps a lamp as well. Adding some pillows on the sectional should help too. Please note our designs included below:
