Jayme Hobbs I would add a few solid pillows and remove at least 2 of the patterned..Two patterns with solids is enough pattern..For a rug u could do one with some pattern in it. Your sofa is brownish? If it is brown, u need some pillows with brown in them to tie your greys and browns together, your drapes look brown and grey?

jenparks Hi Jayme, Ok getting rid of some pillows sounds like a good idea, the Sofa is actually called Aventura Grey , sometimes it looks brownish and sometimes greyish... and the curtains are grey and like a wine/plum . Where did I mess up ? I love the yellow but not sure if that's what I should get rid of ?

Jayme Hobbs One of these type rugs with your colors could work. If u get a patterned rug, I would cut down on the patterned pillows..maybe using a stripe, and solid and/or mixing in one ike the black one in the middle.

sam0705 On the pillows here's something I found yesterday about how to mix them

Jayme Hobbs Pics of rooms with similar colors...not too much pattern...colors that tie into each other

Jayme Hobbs This pic shows some pattern in the rug and pillows...just not so many

jenparks Sam0705 thank you for the link! I think I'm starting to get it !

Jayme Hobbs You have a really nice room, mixing patterns is so hard to do anyway/and too many gets looking busy..try for some solids, one or two others with a pattern with all of your colors together...It is hard to add a patterned rug in with a lot of other patterns also..

Dytecture I agree, pick 2-3 of your favorite pillows and put the other once in storage for now. The rug could have some yellow and gray tones.

jenparks Jayme, I loved that geometric rug you showed me, i think my hubby wants more of a shaggy rug though... so that will probably meed to be my first decision.. As far as the pillows I'm definetly going to get rid of some i have some that arent my faves in the mix anyway. I love all the images you showed me. I also recently purchased a lamp very similar to the one in the third image so this gives me hope

jenparks Dytecture , thank you Im loving the idea , thank you for that image it's great inspiration!

Alcove Decor and Furniture Jen, we carry larges collection of area rugs. Persian high quality hand tufted area rugs. Just a suggestion,we always tell our customers this, shaggy rugs shed a lot for first month or so, hand made ones that is. Machine made rugs not so much. But hand made rugs do shed a lot, some times more than months. this is their nature. There is a special way to vacuum these rugs. Shedding does not mean that they bad quality. They suppose to do that. At some point you might get frustrated with all the wool all around the living area.

Citapore A woolen shaggy rug might add cosy touch to this decor

jansgirl How do you tie in the plum/wine in your drapes to the rest of your room?
