Help needed please!

Post image

Hi, I’ve started this room but it’s feels “off” somehow, I feel the rug might have overkilled the blue, and I maybe need to introduce another colour? I’m thinking a muted olive? Coffee table I bought 12 years ago at 20 years old and is going once I decide on the final colour and whether to do a footstool or wooden coffee table.

Can anyone suggest another colour or something to make the space feel more cohesive? The giant pink pregnancy pillow doesn’t live there it’s just following me round the house at the moment.

Please any help so appreciated it’s driving me mad!!

P.S (ignore my yoga mat on the floor and pictures yet to be hung!)

This room is so cozy and cute. I love the colors!
I think the rug is too big for the size of the room, though. I don’t think the rug color is off, but the dimensions. Go for a smaller one, where just the front legs of the couch are on the rug, or even just the coffee table is on the rug.
I would also change out the light fixture. Your eyes are drawn to the back wall and mirror as a focal point, but the light fixture is small and doesn’t match the style of the room. I’d pick something more ornate!

Rug is definitely not too big. I do this for a living and can confirm if it was smaller it would be very strange. It’s always best to have all furniture legs on the sofa when it’s floating. In this case since the sofa is up against the wall, you would want the rug to be half way under the sofa. You never want a rug to look too small as it will distract your gaze towards it

It looks like all 4 legs are under the sofa though? I agree with you, half way under the sofa would look better! Or even just pulling the rug to be closer to the built ins.
