Ideas for this rug

alagirl · Kenneth Cole

Oooh, that rug is really cool. My thoughts are to use brown and mustard or gold (whatever is in the rug). Maybe a brown comforter/quilt and then get mustard/gold shams.

Brown, mustard, gold, like alagirl said as well as yellow, silver, and white. I think you could do a lot with it.

I'm also seeing like an eggplant color. That rug is awesome.

The rug is great. I think a rug is the first thing a room needs.

What I really like is how you can change up the room for the seasons - go with gold bedding in the spring/summer and chocolate in the winter. I can see not wanting to overdose on light blue. I'd pick up the neutral taupe in curtains just so they'll be workable all year. Marigold/orange for accents as well as white-white. What color are your walls?

i think i'd do somthing really pure like whites and creams + silver or white and creams + gold. simple but rich. i think your chocolate/white striped planters would look really good too. maybe use the chocolate as a small accent color.

how big is the rug? how much of the room will it cover?

Thanks for all the suggestions! I haven't even moved into the apartment yet but I'm trying to get all my ideas in order first, especially if I want to paint the walls. Right now they are just white. Originally I wanted to put wallpaper on one wall but none of the patterns I like work with this rug. The rug might cover about 1/2 the floorspace total. Maybe I'll try cream or white for the summer and then switch to more browns in the cold weather.
