I am redoing my living room in our cottage and need rug advice. We have flagstone floors which are cold and greyish so I want rugs to add warmth and some interest.
I really like the look of flat weave kilim style rugs but I have been struggling to find them in colours that aren't too dark (as well as having dark flagstones our ceilings are low so I am really trying to make things lighter and warmer, but still feel a bit grown up).
Curtains are fairly neutral but with a Moroccan ish pattern in some subtle rust, sage, beigey colours. We are getting a sagey coloured sofa and already have a beigey ottoman thing and a chaise longue. Mustard/gold/rust colours work really well with the curtains even though it's not part of the curtains themselves so I have a few cushions in these colours and am looking for rugs in those kind of colours too.
Today I ordered this one - quite contemporary but also felt neutral enough in pattern to compliment the curtains:

And then found this one in the sale at Laura Ashley - much more traditional in colour but the colours are great (the red is more subtle in real life):

Are they too different in style to be in the same room?
