While working with a couple who had recently retired, I discovered that they had a great appreciation for modern art and contemporary design when they fell in love with this amazing rug. It gave me the inspiration for designing the room.
Momeni Contemporary Patterned Rug
My clients found the comfy sofa version of this sectional. We did two of them facing each other on either side of the fireplace. The fabric on the sofas is dark charcoal gray, which looks black from a distance. The chairs are a solid violet fabric with a faint striped effect, when viewing up close. The fabric tones were culled from the rug. Since the décor revolves around the show-stopping rug, each piece has to enhance the pattern, but not compete with it. While I often mix patterns, this rug has all the pattern you want in the room.

Selection of the furniture was done from a contemporary perspective, with glass and chrome tables to show off the rug. The cocktail table grounds the seating in between the two sofas with glass and sculptural ovals. The base is black.

The end table goes between the 2 violet chairs in the living room.
The green glass table lamp on the end table pulls the vibrant green from the dining room into the living space. The geometric silver floor lamp repeats some of the motifs in the rug and adds extra lighting to the space.
Two 18” cubes with parakeet-green tops and violet body are easily movable. The tops come off so you can store magazines or other clutter out of sight.

The open dining room behind needed to have the same contemporary feel and color palette. So, what do you put with a heavily patterned, statement rug? . . . A bright, grass-green, textured pebble rug that keeps the contemporary vibe going and doesn’t steal any thunder from the primary rug. This goes under the glass dining room table.

We used deep purple upholstered chairs in the dining room, to keep the vibrant color story going. . The deep purple fabric allows you to bring them into the living area for extra seating, where they fit in beautifully with the décor.
Wood-stained furniture would not have been compatible with the rug. One of our exciting finds, discovered after much research, was the buffet on the back wall of the dining room. It’s a lacquered gray in a subtle striped grain with chrome trim, a stunning piece that provides much-needed storage.

The overall effect is a unique contemporary setting that is exciting, but not jarring, with lots of color distributed thoughtfully to keep the rug at the center of the décor.

The best part about Four Hands furniture for your dining room and kitchen is that each piece – whether it is a sideboard, a wine bar, a table, or a lighting fixture – makes a bold declaration without being overly showy.
