I am moving into an apartment and would love to get some help ...Trying to create a modern look and Im centering the whole decor on our sofa set which is beige green with black brown wood on the edges of its arms.The color palette for the decor will be slat blue, white and a bit of orange (just for the flowers)..Wondering if it okay to get a white coffee table...The tv console is also black-brown.Also, what color should i chose the area rug ? Neutral or Green ? There will be some indoor plants also ...hence the thought for a green rug...Thanks for the help.....
Choose a lighter green, perhaps a 'sea green' that has lots of 'white' in it ... or choose a pale yellow color. I like the hunter green carpet and the 'sea green' walls, though ... but if you do use the 'same' color, just lighter, then you'll need to choose a good 'contrasting' color to 'brighten up' the whole room ... a nice 'medium red' would work, or a 'pattern' with pink and burgundy would also be good.
i am sure a white coffee table would look good since you have white in your color palette. for the area rug id say neutral. since there really isnt green in ur color palette
I think, to start off with, that you should get a rug with a neutral color. I know the green would match the kind of beige color sofa and the plants, but I think a little bit of contrast makes the most statement. If you've got a wood floor, which I think you might have, I think either a flat rug or a fringe rug would look good. Maybe one like we have, it has a beige-tan color for the base, along with a dark chestnut brown and a sage green. Its a design of a flower, and I think it completes our look (though far from modern, ours is more of an outdoor, ozarks design.) And I think the coffee table would be a nice touch. White goes with everything and besides that white complements and contrasts darker colors. :) Good luck!
Go with a neutral rug. Do you like natural fibers such as sisal or jute? I think this style would go well with the pieces you've desribed. Shades of green are really hard to match, and if the rug looks off with your sofa, it will not be attractve. For some reason, I cannot envision a white coffee table with the other pieces. I think it might stand out too much and take over as the focal point in the room. What do you think of cream or ivory? Or maybe even an organic material such as wicker with a slate top. I can even see a glass top with your color palette. It has the feeling of sophistication and coolness that would go with your other pieces. I don't know how you plan to use the slate blue, but I'd spread a little more orange around the room. Maybe in a throw pillow or two, in a piece of art, a bottle, dish, or vase, etc. I love orange for accents and have several splashes of it in my living room.
