Hey guys, would love some suggestions for a rug for my lounge room. I've just repainted the house and the room is definitely in need of some colour. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

I would add a white or light grey rug.
Then to achieve colour, bring in artwork and flowers.

You can change around seasonally to warm or cool coloured accessories, making more versatility...enjoy, it looks good so far!

I don't know about it , can you change it, you can have modern and different but I think your tv unit is mid century style and table is Well I don't know what style it is than you say you want tribal . As someone suggested earlier , stop shopping before you move in it might be all wrong and your taste and ideas might change by then. Trick in decorating is to be patient and only buy when you are absolutely sure that you can take it back. Ha ha.

Search for a colored carpet mismatching with overall grey; something that comunicate your taste and your happyness of life.

Sisal would tone with the bar stool.

Erin I like the rug but how about trying the size smaller if that's possible? The sofa should ideally sit with front feet just on the rug. Then pull the ottoman out more and add a colourful chair on opposite corner ( of the triangle). A tray on the ottoman with some books, flowers and maybe beeswax candles? That's if you don't have toddlers of course! Some white sheers on the window also would look good.
Hope this helps!

Colour all the way! Choose your favourite colour and have it in a rug and the same colour in a throw on your sofa. Teal would be lovely with the greys. If you are worried about a rug being too bright, go for a patterned one that's got neutrals in it as well - maybe grey and teal or white and teal?

Agree the rug is too large - loving the thought of a teal and a soft muted yellow rug then add an additional accessory, perhaps a soft yellow fringed throw draped over the seating, a soft yellow tray on the ottoman holding some favourite treasures perhaps?

Think your choice of rug is great and keep this size but just push it about 15 cm further under the lounge. Add oak or light coloured wood round coffee table to soften all the square edges. We had a smaller rug in our living room but recently went the larger one and the space looks so much more generous. Good luck!

Rug can never be to large , keep it just add some colour with cushions

If you keep this rug why not bring that silvery grey up on to the lounge in cushion colour so they talk to each other more.

And maybe a silver tray on the ottoman...
