What color/style rug for small room with mustard colored walls and black contemporary furniture?
I have a small room with mustard colored walls and black contemporary furniture. I am using this room as a closet/dressing room. My style tends towards Ikea – Swedish modern/warm contemporary. I don’t have a huge budget either. I think a very light color will pop too much against the black furniture and a dark color makes the room look tiny. Also, I am trying to soften the look of the room which, along with the furniture, is very angular. Want it to look softer and more feminine, but not necessarily girly. Any ideas?
