Anyway, we stumbled onto this pretty rug that was turned into the consignment shop brand new. It ain't the pakistani, vegetable dye, hand woven rugs we saw at Hamilton's for $8,000 {sigh} but it's pretty and it was just $600.
I have two questions. 1) Is it too dark for the room? I know we are already pushing it with the dark couch, coffee table and cabinets; that's what happens when you're trying to satisfy a man that dreams of living in a smoking den. The black chair will be replaced with a chaise and we'll eventually put two club chairs at the opposite end of the rug. 2) Will the traditional oriental style rug rule out any contemporary pillows, art, decor? I just worry that my room will end up looking like a museum.
I need feedback so please leave comments if you have them. I'm supposed to let the consignment company know if I'm keeping it or not; it's currently just on loan.

I invite you to visit my blog,nice to meet you
hi tonia
i like it, and the price is right, and if you had maroon or deep-red walls, it would be a perfect fit. but your blue walls make me stop short of giving it a full endorsement. what about a rug with some blue in it to correspond with the walls?
I am not by any means the expert, but I love your blue walls and think you do need something lighter on that dark floor to tie it all together. The dark floors are AWESOME and a lighter rug would really set them off. Hard to beat that price, though! Good luck! Have you thought of just having a carpet remnant made into the right size for that room?
Hi, I saw your blog. Yes I love the rug, I do agree maybe the blue walls are a bit to light for the room. My husband wanted an "english Library" look in our living room. So I understand your pain. ;)
I have to agree with the dark factor. Sorry. But I do love your couch and that cool cabinet against the wall.
As long as Nate is in the room, you never have to worry about it being too dark. I personally don't have a problem with the rug and the furniture, but then again, I am a man and have always wanted to live in a museum.

I actually really like it. I think it's a nice contrast to the walls.
Love the rug, but not in the room. Either paint the walls a lighter color or brighten your couches if you keep it.
Otherwise, get a new rug.
