That rug really ties the room together...?
I have dark brown (medium chocolate, I'd call it) warm modern style leather sofa and love seat in a white room with 10 foot ceilings (I can't paint). The floors are oak, as is one book case (modern lines, arts and crafts style detail). The feet of the sofa are a dark walnut color. The accent pieces in the room will be yellow hues (artwork, vase, throw pillows).
What sort of area rug should I get? Colors, patterns? Links to examples would be awesome. I'm getting more furniture, but I think the rug could really warm up the room. I'm concerned about getting something that looks too country or contemporary against the modern lines of the furniture.
A rug with geometric motifs or pattern would be best to emphasize the straight lines found in the rest of the room... adding more straight lines in the rug would do so by repetition, and circles would accomplish the same but by contrasting against your straight lines instead.
Look for a rug with beiges, browns, rusts, golds, and maybe some grey-blue or grey-green just to add some additional interest.
Take a look at http://www.carpetconcept.ca/collections/index.html They have some great rugs in their downloadable PDF catalog, and you might find the following patterns to be of interest: Galleria 6302 & 6317, Infinity 32215, Natura 99040 & 99043, Santorini 54036. Print out whichever one(s) you like, and take the pictures with you when you go shopping. Good luck!
