What color/style rug for small room with mustard colored walls and black contemporary furniture?

Question

I have a small room with mustard colored walls and black contemporary furniture. I am using this room as a closet/dressing room. My style tends towards Ikea - Swedish modern/warm contemporary. I don't have a huge budget either. I think a very light color will pop too much against the black furniture and a dark color makes the room look tiny. Also, I am trying to soften the look of the room which, along with the furniture, is very angular. Want it to look softer and  more feminine, but not necessarily girly. Any ideas?

? · Accepted Answer

I would go a few shades lighter or darker then the wall with a  wall to wall and then add a runner in black or oriental or and abstract.

Hello Mustard walls. Your room sounds trendy 1. make sure the ceiling is white this will bring your eye up from the black furniture. 
2.A area rug that must be large enough to anchor the room sicle( wicker pattern) colour with a band of beige around the edge.
3. A small glass coffee table no black x is please. X is bad luck in chinese
4. A mirror mounted behind the couch 6-8" above the back of the couch or art work 2-3 pictures depending how long the black couch is.( mirror could have black frame)Nothing gothic please or gold frilly.
5. A couple of pillows in grey with some hand sewn buttons on them for interest in a plain pillow.
6. Remember less is better for the uncluttered look Hope this helps.
