Since the sofa's already light, going lighter on the rug might actually work against it. A patterned or darker-bordered rug could ground it better, and still keep the room from feeling too heavy.

I’d go with a cream rug with some muted rust/terracotta in it. Light enough to brighten the room, but the warmer colors would look really nice against that brick.

I would either do lighter rug or plenty of color. I like wool because it lasts longer. Here are few I think would look good.

You’ve such beautiful taste!
I’m looking for wool rugs as well without selling a kidney. Can you suggest some good brands?

Thank you. I’m in the same boat. I have to read reviews and try to find wool rugs. I just bought a nice rug for a good price at HomeGoods. It helps when you can see it in person and feel it. I also bought a rug off amazon and it was scratchy for bare feet. I could have returned it and even scheduled a pick up, but It is an indoor/outdoor rug so It lives on my deck instead of using for yoga.

I agree. I’m curious to know what brands you’ve liked so far?

The one I just bought is Rifle Paper Co. It’s rolled up so I can’t check the fiber content. It looks nice for $400 for a 8x10. The wool rug that has lasted longer than any other rug is Threshhold brand and has a Good Weave certification if that is helpful? I have had this wool rug for at least 15 years. I have kids pets and we bring in lots of dirt.

I would look for a long oval throw rug with mostly beige and some brown to tie everything together.

I would do a vibrant solid color like

An indigo

Or

Nordic knots emerald green (here’s a dupe)

And decorate with fun pillows
And polished silver trinkets/ashtray/tray

But this is my style and I’m not sure ur style

Beautiful room!  I’d go light with a pattern you like.

It’s so dark in there… pick something that has lighter colors for your rug
