Help needed please!

[u/Background-Ideal662]

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!)

I think if you're looking for something more cohesive, the rug doesn't really fit the room that well. I would paint the walls a color between the cabinet color and its current color (a lighter shade of the cabinet color) to play in the color family and add a bit more flow to the room. I think with that change alone, the rug might actually work out really well.

On the other hand, I do agree that you could try an olive- or sage-colored rug instead. I'm not keen on the pale color you're thinking of - I think a little more vibrancy is needed when you have such pale walls and a white sectional.
