What colour should my couch and accent chairs be?
We are redecorating our living room and decided to start with the rug. We ordered this one:

Now that it has arrived I am stuck on what color couch (3 seater) and chairs (2 accent arm chairs) to order. The rug is somewhat true to the picture, but the red is a bit lighter, and the yellow is more like a "baby yellow" color. Our floors are dark brown wood, walls are cream, all other wood pieces are either brown or black/brown.
The rug is so active (and there is a painting in the room that is also quite busy in a similar color scheme) that my instinct is to go white couch and white chairs and then pick up red and gold accents in the pillows and drapes. But white furniture also feels a little bit dull.
Any other ideas for us?

Light tan (taupe) this goes with anything and is more user friendly than white
My first thought was that a white couch would accent this rug beautifully, with black and white accent pillows...i can see red pillows too...but personally i would do black and white in a subdued print that compliments the rug and keep rest of room neutral with a large arrangement of red flowers and some green plants by the window...Maybe pick up the gold accents in a mirror or something. Since you have alot of wood in the floors i would throw some metal in there somewhere to offset the wood. :) Good luck!
