Design Question – Brown Throw Rug On Off-white Berber Carpet?

Hi there,
I bought a v modern condo, most everything is off-white (carpet, paint) with black kitchen applicances. Found a dark brown wool rug on sale at Pier One for dirt cheap so I lugged it home. i like earth tone colors but wonder if y’all think that a solid throw rug on white carpet is too strong contrast. i only have two soft lime green bucket chairs, a subdued red japanese trunk with a gold monkey on it as a small side table, and an oversized black chair w/ottoman that serves as couch – this has very small light brown, off-white polka dots on it. they’re all hand-me downs and i’m making do.
i really like the shag throw rugs with speckles of colors but can’t afford that now. any design ideas for around this rug on a budget? or save the budget, return it quick… thanks!

    Save the budget – return it quick!
    You already have off-white, lime, red, gold, and black in one room. That’s plenty.
    Suggest saving your money for things that tie the room together, and can be used again.
    Like:
    area rug with off white, black, and gold
    black and gold print/flower/stripe throw pillows, and drapes
    brass framed paintings, posters, photos
    Brass or iron candlesticks, with red or lime candles
    Iron, or brass ornaments – vase, clock, lamps, flower pots

    I think the rug would probably look cool. If you think it’s too bold, you could use some accents that match other things in the room.
