Would this look silly in a sitting room?

[VivaLeBeaver]

I love it but am a bit worried it may be more of a kid's room rug.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Only other rug I can find that I vaguely like is this.

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

If you like it, go for it. Your home!

[HennaFlare]

I love the foxy rug. Also like the striped one, but I would say go for your first choice.

[Gatekeeper]

Nope..I would have it in the living room. Knickers to anyone disputing this

[VivaLeBeaver]

Id only be having it in a small size to go infront of the fire. Not a massive rug taking up the centre of the room.

[Gatekeeper]

Stripy one also good in a completely different way. If you have room ....
have both!

[VivaLeBeaver]

Knickers to my Dh then.

Thanks.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Might get the stripey one in a runner size for the hall.

[Gatekeeper]

That's the spirit! Embrace your daft, quirky bits

[VivaLeBeaver]

I can just imagine visitors been a bit and wondering why on earth ive put a kid's rug in my sitting room.

[Selks]

This is so bizarre.

I initially considered the Mr Fox rug for my living room but decided it was a bit childish (although I do really like it), and instead bought..........the exact same striped rug that you show above!!

[VivaLeBeaver]

That is very spooky Selks.

Do you like the stripe rug? Do you regret not getting the fox one?

[VivaLeBeaver]

The stripe one is the more sensible long term option.

I worry I might go off the fox one after a while and it's not cheap.

[Selks]

If you do like the fox rug then get it...I don't think it looks stupidly childish, more playful and fun.

I got several Mr Fox mugs instead

[VivaLeBeaver]

I might get some cushions to match the rug.

DH abd o have had a similar conversation. We are going for the strippy rug :) (does it also come in a different colour scheme as I think we are still idly considering the same one but different colours??) must be a popular choice! My fear over the foxes was less teenage room and more the fact that fixed here are seen as vermin.

[MadamG]

Please excuse my typos, on a phone and have both fat fingers and dyslexia.

[Selks]

I do like the stripe one, it looks fab on the oak floor, and I've had loads of compliments on it.

[CloserToFiftyThanTwenty]

Stripy rug and fox cushions?

[Selks]

You can just see my stripy rug at the bottom of the pic, in front of my fireplace...might be slightly different colours than the one you are looking at Viva.

[VivaLeBeaver]

That looks nice Selks. We have very similar log burners.

Your rug is a different colour, where did you buy yours from? Think I like that colour better and ive not seen it for sale anywhere.

[Kasey86]

Sells, that's so pretty :)

I love the fox rug, I'd would put it in my lounge. Go for it!

I got it on ebay, it was from a rug retailer but I don't have a record of which one now (bought it a couple of years ago). It's wool and really nice quality, was pleasantly surprised.

Although I do keep getting tempted by the idea of a beautiful Persian kilim instead now....

[Devora]

I love the fox rug. It's very 'now', though, and I've seen it in a few of my interiors mags, so yes there is a risk you might go off it.

But don't worry it's for children - I don't think it is.
