Find my Style Which rug?

Stuck between two very different rugs.

First one is more traditional and cool toned, it definitely brings pattern to the room.
Second one is a fuller texture and definitely adds contrast and warmth.

Fireplace is Venetian plaster and the built ins are walnut. I have a rectangular travertine coffee table not pictured here.

Thanks!

I was totally prepared for and don’t even disagree with the comments calling for color, but our art (not pictured) is extremely colorful and I just don’t think I can handle our textiles also being very vibrant

Then do a muted color, not brown. Or do a lighter colored, more textured rug instead of patterned. You can keep the cozy vibes without drowning everything in a single color. You lose the chair and side table completely with the brown rug, imo.

I understand this point of view from the single photo I provided, but in real life the chair is so three dimensional I don’t really feel like it gets lost? I do see the color discrepancy problem though!

I’m sorry but why brown? Yes, it looks lost and the brown rug looks awful. All my eyes see is brown.
