I love the fabric as well, I think you need a pop of another color in the room somewhere. The trim on the curtains is a good idea (I’d seen that as well, that office is pretty nice isnt it?). What about adding in a cranberry/rose/subtle pink?

I love the rug and fabric combo! I would do a cream on the walls and keep the other accessories minimal to let those elements shine. I think doing a green rug would be just too predictable. I love Jules’ suggestion of bringing in a little orange or pink. I think the color pallete needs one other color to complete it. Best of luck!

eh…I kinda think that upholstery makes the chair look like it belongs next to a fireplace made of fake stone at camp whataghanga.

hmmmm maybe you need to take another little visit to ikea and take the fabric with you to help you finalise your decision ???

I wanted to mention that I went to Linen N Things (the one on canal in the south loop) the other day and they had this fabric shower curtain called Dots & Spots with light brown and pale pink dots all over it. They don’t have that color combo online, otherwise i would have linked you. They dots are large, maybe 2.5 inches round, I thought it was really cute and instantly thought of you.

I like the rug more than the fabric. I just am really anal about all the zigzags lining up and being even on all sides. Maybe get the rug and upholster the chairs in an orange? Something simple, along these lines: http://store.txtlart.com/forsaorange.html or http://store.txtlart.com/marhabaorange.html

Then on the walls you can use use a warm gray–I don’t like the brown up there right now. It’s warm and lovely, but I feel like it competes with the woodwork. You can do curtains in either your favorite from the guest bedroom http://store.txtlart.com/luna.html or a warm white/cream with raspberry or orange edging. The raspberry would bring in a variation of the pink from the rest of your house. You can also put edging on the lumimarja fabric, too.

Just might two cents. :)
