Another request for decorating guidance/Hancock Moore chair and sofa

[wintersummer]

I'm seeking some decorating advice guidance.

We will soon be moving into a retirement community and have the chance to update our existing furniture, some of it 30+ years old. We've settled on Hancock and Moore as a brand.

I've been looking at a number of HM pieces and came upon this discontinued chair and ottoman during the weekend. It's a Kennet Chair, in Antelope Rust (doesn't look a thing like rust!). It was on sale. We bought it on the spot!

I've also found this blue rug I just love. Haven't bought it yet - just have my eyes on it. The photos with the blue rug show an older chair (plan to discard this chair), just to show a lighter taupe like upholstery on the carpet. We plan to keep the cherry coffee table. Other living room furniture is cherry. Carpet was out on loan in my existing home, just for a day, long before we bought the HM chair. Thus, there is not a photo of new chair and rug.

So, here's the question: do the Antelope Rust chair and blue carpet work together? I plan to order a Hancock and Moore Metro sofa and need to choose a color. The taupe color fabric being held up to the carpet (along with sample of Antelope Rust) is HM Lewis Wheat. How does that look with the carpet? How does everything go together? I'm looking for honest opinions!

What are the opinions of the experts out here in this community?

Thanks!
