I need shopping help!

[hamster]

I need a few new things for our master bedroom and I'm sort of struggling.

- An 8×10 rug. Something fairly neutral and a simple pattern. Preferably indoor/outdoor. I'll take a hit on comfort to gain easy cleaning. Budget $250.
- Curtains for our sliding door. Dont necessarily need blackout but at least light filtering.
- A small accent chair. No set budget but I dont want to spend a lot.

Our bedroom furniture is white Hemnes and the headboard is kind of espresso/cherry colored. Bedding white with a gray/silver stripe. Paint color is SW oyster bay and floors are a grayish hue. Black accents for the lighting, barn door track, etc.

I can find things I like, but not necessarily things that go together. I need some color somewhere otherwise it's getting over grayed.

I have this rug...it is super cheap and stands up to ANYTHING but I think it still looks good.  I found it in my Wayfair order history so I know I've had it for three years and it looks new.

That's exactly what I need! The gray is out of stock, but there is an ivory/gray available. Reviews say the ivory is more of a gray, which is probably good. I'm worried off white would look dingy next to white bedding and furniture. Hmm...

IDK if it's the same for rugs, but I was worried my off-white bed would look dingy next to white bedding and actually I really like it...I think it's nice to mix cream colors and true whites sometimes.  That said, Wayfair reps have been good in the past about telling me when something is expected to be back in stock if I call and ask, and given that rug has been sold for years I'm guessing it'll come back in stock pretty quickly.  Good luck!

ETA:  I looked, and I think the Ivory/Charcoal is just the colors of my rug but reversed, in which case I agree it is really more of a light grey/dark grey.  I took some photos for you, but I think the lighter color photographed less grey than it actually looks:

Oh, and I just bought these curtains and really like them...they are supposed to be blackout but I haven't really checked since I usually have them open during the day. I think the fabric looks really nice, and they had the 108" length I needed. I was torn between Platinum and Ivory, but I got Platinum and really like them.

What is the accent chair for? Holding clothes, sitting on while you put on your shoes, lounging? How do you feel about pink as your color accent?

I feel good about a pink accent!

Chair is for putting on shoes or whatever. Maybe hiding from children and playing on my phone lol.

Down below is a rug post with a beautiful navy/pink accent rug that would look great with the pink chair.

Oh, navy would look great in there!

I found some navy and gray curtains I like, but now I'm stumped. Our ductless unit is in, and its location makes curtains a bit odd. Am I over thinking? They'd also be covering a light switch, but it's for the patio and a 3 way switch to our bedroom. 

If I didnt do standard curtains, what would my options be? We will likely have them open most of the time. Also, if I did to them, what length? The top of the trim is like 84, but the ceiling is only 91...
