Living Room design... dark colors in furniture or rug?
I have just gotten a new apartment and am trying to decide options for my living area. It is fairly small and open to the kitchen. I will have black and white photos and more contemporary art on my walls. I want to get a shag rug and a new couch and chairs. Is it better to bring color into the room through the rug or have a black rug and brighter tones in the furniture to make the room look as open as possible.

- Try bringing color in through the rug and matching throw pillows. You can also add a few splashes of complementary colors with your artwork or trim painting.
- I would bring in dark and bold colors through the accessories and rug. I always find it better to buy couches and more expensive items in more neutral colors that I can use even if I want to change the color of the room, etc. Good Luck and Have fun wiht it.
- black furniture then bring color and texture thru fabrics, rugs and pillows
