what rug to go with dark brown leather sofas

[Anonymous]

We are slightly re-doing our main floor living area. We have bright white walls and big colorful art - mostly modern art. We have 2 of the dark brown karlstad sofas from ikea. We got them to resist stains and wear since we have 2 young kids and the leather sofas have been great. They still look pretty new, after 6 years. Coffee table is a darker wood.

The house has old wood floors that are pine or fir. They are medium brown with an orange/yellow undertone. My husband and I are trying to get the overall feeling more light and airy. Kind of going for an art gallery feeling.

So my question is: What color rug will work for the sofa area? My feeling is a light to medium shade of a grayish blue. Or teal-ish grey. Or just grey. Something solid, but maybe with some subtle variations. This will be a wool rug. Also, hoping for a good value

Yes I agree. What's your price range?

Sorry, *porcelain blue

OP here. Thanks for the replies!

My price range is somewhat flexible, but we'd have to REALLY love it if its over $600. Size is 8x10

I'm interested in this one, which appears to be grey, but reviewers all say has blue in it:

I would get a neutral toned wool sisal. (perhaps a diamond pattern) I wouldn't go with a color, it will take away from your artwork. Add a few colored pillows and then a piece or two in an accent color. Between your art and these few items, you'll have plenty of pop to make your space more airy.

pp here. The overstock one looks kind of blah to me, but maybe it's better in person. I really like the PB one except for the fringe. It's a pain bec it gets stuck in the vacuum and it's a pain to lay it flat.

Another vote for a sisal rug. Our decorator got us a banded one from pottery barn to go under our leather chairs.

I like the fringed one.

OP here. This rug, in the porcelain blue color is nice! That is the color I'm looking for. Husband prefers no pattern. Thank you for the links!
