 Here are my picks for Architectural Digest's 10 best decorative rugs in living rooms with a grey, black and taupe color scheme. Make sure you look at #10 which is a visionary 1970's living room by Parish Hadley that anticipates todays fashions in decorative rugs and grey, black and taupe color schemes.

Numerous large, medium and small scale patterns are quietened by a common color palette of black, gray and white.
