[quote=Anonymous]How do I begin to create a new living room?  It will be the "formal" living room, but it will be casual and comfortable.  I think we want to have a medium/dark gray or dark blue sofa.  I really love the idea of either a rug with orange in it or curtains with orange in them.  I'll link to some examples of what I'm thinking about.  However, I have no idea how to coordinate all of this.  Are there any design "rules" that could help me figure all this out?  If we have a bold rug then should the curtains be subdued, or vice versa?

Some things I like:

Curtains-
the reddish orange version: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-curtains/34857508.jsp#/

again, the orange: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-curtains/35076769.jsp#/

or something blue? http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-curtains/31532930.jsp#/

or something plain: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90284202/

Rugs-
love this in both colors but not sure DH will go for something this close to floral: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/pdp/detail.jsp?&id=76003&color=ora#/

We also have a toddler - so maybe we need a rug with less white?  I don't want the whole room to be dark though.  We are buying new sofas to begin with because the first ones were ruined by said toddler, and we are going dark on the sofas for this reason.[/quote]
