Depends if you love it or not. It is very busy maybe would look better in a bedroom ? Also I think it needs more space around it to let it breathe.

Hi,

headers13 is right, it depends if you like it or not. You must consider it the same way as a wall painting. If you love it you must adjust the other stuff accordingly. As you pointed out, changing cushions colors to solid is a start. From your pictures it seems that you've got a center pouf, matching the sofa. If this is the case, the rug will be mostly covered so the drawing won't shine at all.

Personally I think it's the best feature in the room - I would aim to match solid colour cushions to one or two of the colours on the rug. There's a lot of sofa there for it to compete with for attention! Having said that they look really comfy (as attested by your man in picture two) and plain large cushions will sharpen it all up. Good luck and send a photo when your done!

Yes do you love it? I think it's lovely, very bold and not old fashioned at all. There are some great colours there to pick out as cushions - the orange especially. Yes do post a picture when done!

I think it is gorgeous. A real statement piece. Art on the floor.

Yep, definitely the best thing in the room. Except, of course, for the cool dude reclining on the sofa.

I love it... It is a statement piece. Just match it with cushion covers, then junk the whole lot when you get tired of it... And move on to the next statement piece.

Hang it ON the grey wall. Get an LED Spotlight shining just on it. Or even tied on a ceiling at an angle perhaps but it will never lie flat again, and only if you have the height.

that's a lovely rug but I don't think it's being shown to its best in a small floor space but it's gorgeous. As someone above said, pick out a couple of colours from it for plain cushion cover - compliment, don't compete. Turquoise or teal & orange are good together.

Love it , my type of rug x

Why don't you hang it on a wall and buy another rug for the floor that will pick one or more colours from it. Plain cushion covers to match the main rug. I love your rug, I wish I got gifts like this.............

what!!!!!!!!!!! the rug is lovely... the sofa has collapsed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it but it doesn't go with anything else in the room. It needs more space and matching accessories to tie it all together. I would put it in another room or even on the wall as an art piece!

I love the rug and agree with Lisbet Home and Style, Esher it's my favourite part of the room. I also agree that it depends on whether you like it. At the same time it isn't shown in the best environment so worth putting it in another room just to be able to see it differently then once you decide if you like it put it back and add cushions etc to to compliment it.

The sofa looks like leather so should have lots of life left in it ... just needs plumping up. If you add some more stuffing/pieces of foam in the back cushions and give it a bit of a polish to feed the leather it will look great rather than waste money buying a new one. Leather looks better as it ages, just needs a bit of help. Once that's done then a few cushions in the greens, blues and a splash of the orange ... oh and agree keep the guy! ... and it'll look great for very little money!

Personally I prefer a rug that doesn't boss me around. This rug will dictate all your other choices for the room.

I love the rug just make sure your new sofa/corner unit is cream /white or light neutral with plain cushions in orange and/ or turquoise and your room will pop!

keep it and use some of its vibrant colours as accent colours within the room so the room is more co-ordinated and styled to this key peice. Because the rug as lots of different colours, it gives you lots of options for cushions, art work, lamps, curtains and accessories. I would move the sofa's back a little if possible to make a real feature of this great rug.

Love the rug, I'll have it!

If you ditched the cushions from the sofas, the rug would look a lot better, cushions make everything look cluttered.
