I did my living room in shades of blue.  Since the great room is open I wanted a rug that had some blue in it and fuschia.  The fuchsia really pops against the periwinkle walls.  I had a wool rug down before but the dogs made it dirty and it wasn't big enough.  This rug is 8X10 and is polyester so it will be easier to keep clean.  I found a piece of art that has the gold and pink in it and love the way it goes together.  And, the price was right.
