I would - perhaps - like just a flash of the aqua in the border - a flange - maybe a half inch wide border -

Taking a photograph of an item - from a distance - really does help one "see" an item more objectively.

Just the dark brown and floral borders does make it look sort of bland. If you did use just those two colors, maybe only have about a 1/2 inch (finished) dark brown border before adding the floral print.
