How to Match a Rug With Your Sofa
Your rug and sofa do not need to be the same colour. A better approach is to coordinate undertones, contrast, pattern and the overall balance of the room.
Start with the sofa colour
Because the sofa is usually a large visual element, decide whether the rug should blend with it or create contrast.
Use pattern to connect colours
A patterned rug containing both the sofa colour and another room colour can help connect furniture, flooring and accessories.
Think about scale
Colour is only part of the decision. The rug should also be large enough to relate to the sofa and surrounding chairs.
