I'm having a hard time visualizing this. I have two small black tables, a black loveseat, black TV with a black (or soon to be silver stand) and a bright red chaise lounge. I know going with a neutral beige rug would be good, but what is another different color I can go with in a rug? Bonus points if you can also tell me a good color for one accent wall... :)
I would say the rug in a gold with black accents.. darker than a beige. No lighter than a tan. The accent wall I would make a muted earthy yellow. Other wall options - a sage green (medium muted green).
What color are walls? White, ivory I hope! 1] buy a rug with a lot of wall color [ white? ivory? ], medium amount of red, and a little black. A bit of gold would also look great. 2] buy red and gold pillows for the black loveseat; black and gold pillows for the red chaise 3] accent wall - pale gold 4] add accessories [ lamps, ornaments, planter/vase, candles and holders ] in red, gold, ivory on black tables
Go to Target, they have some very nice large rugs in multi colored patterns. Several with Black and Red and other bold colors. Either that, or a black white rug would do nicely with red furniture also. and if it were me, I would color one accent wall with a nice red. Just be bold!
Since you have the bright red chaise (and intend to keep it, I think?) and have lots of black already ... the obvious answer is white ... Black, white, and red .... can be timeless and classy, or just a whole lot of fun! Make sure to use the red in at least 3 places in the room, so the chaise doesn't look like a mistake! If you want an accent color ... OK, this will sound really off-the-wall, but here goes ... try turquoise! You could use it for an accent wall (NOT a very bright or intense turquoise ... more muted) and then pick the color up with stronger accents of turquoise (a stripe in a rug, a decorative pillow ... even a teeny amount of it in some artwork or candles). Have fun with it!
