Family Room: Use Accent Colors
A rug can define a seating area, and is also an important way to ground a space and warm it up. If you're working with a primarily neutral palette, a rug with some color and texture can help inject character and life into the room. Pulling those rug colors into throw pillows on sofas and chairs and into floor-to-ceiling drapery is also another great way to inject color inexpensively.
