Please help me pick an area rug -- POLL

For my living room, I have narrowed my choices down to these two......Here is a pic of what color the walls will be.....Which rug do you think goes better? Also, my couches are a beige color, and I will be getting coffee tables and end tables in a dark expresso color......If you don't think either rug will match, any suggestions would be GREAT. Thanks so much!

#1 is too modern for my taste. I like #2 over #1.

Unless you're going for a monochromatic look, I would add some color to the room and would do so through the rug. Maybe some blues.

Honestly, I don't like the 1st one at all. It is very distructing to the eye and not too esthetically pleasing. JMI, of course.

I think 2nd one will go nicely with what you described.

I'm personally not a fan of either, but i agree with Colleen. I think it will be overkill of browns, especially with the coffee table/end table being a dark brown. If you'd like it to pull the room together, you could always find a rug with more color and a small hint of brown in it. But these choices IMHO are too much brown.

I like more traditional rugs better. But this looks like the style you are going for with similar colors:

Thank you for all of your opinions.....Since Rug #2 has some light green in it (in the leaf design, does that look like green?), I can put some green accents in the room....How would that be?

That doesn't look too much like a green color to me. More like a beige color. Chat Icon

Maybe it's our monitors, because it looks green to me -- either that or I'm going color-blind! Chat Icon I think I'm leaning towards the second one.....

It looks beige to me too Chat Icon

Ultimately it's your choice...for me, it's too earthy (green/brown) and I would want to bring in some other elements.

I'm sorry, but it looks beige to me as well. I don't see any green in #2.

Re: Please help me pick an area rug -- POLL

If your couches are beige and your walls are the color that you posted,

what about doing a burnt reddish orange color?

It would give the room some more depth while still being modern.

Sort of like this but maybe with more of a pattern?

I really like #1. #2 seems to fallish for all year round.

Thank you! Do you think that would go with my wall color?? or is it too red and would clash? I'm hopeless with this stuff.....

I personally don't think you can go wrong with red and beige AT ALL!

I am strongly considering it and my walls are a yellowish beige and my couch is a brown paisley.

I am concerned about the red-brown combination for myself - I think it might be too much color. I may do the same rug for myself in the beige...

If my COUCH was beige, I would do the red in a heartbeat!!!!

Here it is in the beige:
