We are seriously considering using artificial grass to carpet our living room. Are there any possible issues with this that we have not considered?

What

SimonBridges · 09/03/2018 21:40

Really? I knew a pub that had real turf in the bar.

NapQueen · 09/03/2018 21:41

The fact that its bonkers.

Presuming this is serious, I know a few people who have this in their kids bedrooms. My concern would be keeping it clean - wouldn’t it be a magnet for dirt, crispy things, crumbs etc getting stuck in it?

CanIBuffalo · 09/03/2018 21:41

Can you hoover it?
Spills?
Soft under foot?

I'm all for people living how they like- but there is a line.

(And I suspect you've just snorted it.)

Do you have pets or kids? How would you keep it clean? Our cats would prolly try and pee in it.

LloydColeandtheCoconuts · 09/03/2018 21:43

My dog would piss in it.
if I had one

crunchymint · 09/03/2018 21:43

Yes we are serious. Surely you can hoover it. It is used outside so has to be pretty tough.

What are your reasons for wanting it? Personally I wouldn't as it's not as nice to walk on as wooden or carpeted floors.

AtSea1979 · 09/03/2018 21:44

I have never heard of this. Would your interiors be like garden themed?

Mintylemons · 09/03/2018 21:44

Could you clean vomit out of it?

TheFaerieQueene · 09/03/2018 21:44

No just no.

crunchymint · 09/03/2018 21:44

Our reason is that we think it would look amazing with our current blue decor.

Have you walked around on it in bare feet or in socks?

timeforabrewnow · 09/03/2018 21:47

This is sooooo stupid it must definitely be a wind up.

If you want someting to match your 'blue decor' - why not have a bright green disgusting carpet??

timeforabrewnow · 09/03/2018 21:48

Oh no wait

You want fake grass - obvious really Confused

crunchymint · 09/03/2018 21:48

We had originally looked to get a green carpet, but no wind up. We are seriously considering this.

Um... @crunchy, have you been hacked? I can’t imagine this looking ‘amazing’. But then I’m not known for my interior design prowess. Prove me wrong (and then post a photo).

mnahmnah · 09/03/2018 21:49

You can hoover it! My friend hoovers her outside stuff

crunchymint · 09/03/2018 21:49

No not been hacked and if we go ahead I will have to name change.

Shag carpeting can look grass like. Probably easier to maintain than artifical grass inside.
