I really like the look of bold patterns and mixed prints--but my husband is less adventurous. I'm pretty sure he'd be okay with mixed prints if it were all the same color--but I'm not sure if that's super boring.

We already have curtains that are a pretty bold print and make a big visual impact, so I want a rug that coordinates but isn't boring--and no chevron....and no red, because we won't have the dining chairs forever.

I love the first two rooms and the print mixing there. Our curtains and living room are the last pic. Idea? Pictures?
