I have a tray for the ottoman that acts as a coffee table. Lighting I have no idea maybe another floor lamp somwhere. There is no overhead lighting here. I have been looking at shag rugs for two mos and am leaning towards light grey or silver but still not sure. Been looking for vibrant orangey red pillows but havent found the exact shade I like yet. Thank you for your input.

The couch looks gray to me. What you're seeing is that the couch is a warmer gray than the cool gray walls. "Gray" is not an absolute and can lean cooler (more blue) or warmer (more brown). I do think a new rug will help. You might also consider repainting the walls something slightly less cool and/or changing the curtains. But I actually don't think it looks bad. If it were me, I'd start with a new rug and see how looks before making additional changes.

There is a concept of value contrast with colors- and also something like clear vs muddy or soft colors. the rug to me looks high- contrast and also more vino, clear colors rather than softened colors. So I would be looking for pillows covers that echo those features. It doesn’t mean the entire pillow or print has to be high contrast, deep and clear, because there could be some prints that include softer or more muted colors , as long as there are some parts or bits in the print or trim that reference the rug, some of the strong red, blue, black, or white. So if you actually wanted to tone down the rest of decor you might look for that type of combination specifically.

You guys just come up with ideas as if nothing … amazing 🤩! I’m really liking the celery visualization. And I agree on the curtains . I don’t have much natural light so I thought light would still give me that light but they may be too light. The rug is new I can return for another if you think there’s something else that will flow better with the ladies.

I think all of that is good advice but you want a new rug so lets deal with that . The drapes are okay as they are but wjat colors do you like the space right now is no color so the rug can drive the other choices . The lamps are too small the art is too small but we need some info as to colors you like or all you will get is a bunch of pics or rugs forever. To me right now the coffee table is not working at all in the space . So info please posted here in a comment DO NOT start another post.

Thank you for helping. This is my mother’s house and she wants a boho style rug with blues, oranges and maybe more colors. Not sure that will work. The tv table is mid century with an Asian flare. We have possibly found an Asian print to make pillow covers. I will try to post.

Beautiful sofa! A great basic piece like that can go with anything depending on your style.

First idea: A colorful abstract rug to enhance the sofa and coffee table using solid linen pillows or this "think outside the box" Diamond Quilt Pillow!

Second idea: A more serious style using a "William Morris" influenced rug with unique printed black pillows with coordinating solids.
