Jazzing up your dark floor with area rugs

I have a dark floor and have just bought a mink and nutmeg sofa. what color paint and rug do you suggest?

It depends on how adventurous you are. If you decorate conservatively, I'd say stick to neutral paint and maybe spice it on on the floor with a contemporary or modern area rug like this Allure Silver area rug or this Aria Natural area rug . Focus on natural, earth tones for your colors on your walls.

If you like to spice it up a bit, you could have steel blue walls with a couch that color, and add chocolate brown/blue throw pillows on your couch. For your focal point, add a large area rug like this Beige and Blue contemporary area rug. Choose bold fabric for your pillows, as it will liven up your room that much more.
