This rug, yay or nay

[inabox]

For living room which is neutral but has lots of natural textures (wood, brick, leather). Want to brighten it up a bit and add some bright colours from the rug.

Is this awful or nice?

I think it’s lovely - wouldn’t work in every room obviously - but from what you’ve described it would be perfect

I like it.

Not my style. Looks too ubiquitous.

I had to google what that meant! I can cope with ubiquitous.

Thought about pulling out pink, orange and charcoal for cushions and throws??

I'd probably pull out the navy for cushions etc
Love the rig though

Eug even 🙄

Rug! Argh!!

Yay

Is it a Margot Selby design? Good way to introduce colour. If you like it, get it!

Looks lovely and so many colours to choose from!

Yes it is. From habitat.

I don't think it's got navy in it?

oh yes, it is a bit ubiquitous

Love it! Good as an accent in otherwise neutral room.

It did have a lot of reviews!

Excuse the mess but this is the room

its nice op

I think it's a bit play room or child's room ish to be honest.

I think it will look good in that room, and nice to pick out colours from it for cushions/artwork.

Also, you call that a mess?! you should see my living room right now, which I deem as relatively tidy and is a bomb site compared to yours OP!

I think it’s lovely and I’ve never seen it before, so it can’t be that ubiquitous.

I also like your idea of some bright cushions. If everything else in the room is neutral it could cope with orange and magenta cushions. IKEA have orange cushions for the price of a coffee - risk it !

That’s a fabulous room BTW, love the fireplace and floor.

Beautiful!! Will look lovely in your (v tidy) living room

That flooring looks lovely, not sure I would cover it. Do you actually 'need' a rug or do you want it for the colours? If the latter I would probably just get cushions.

Thanks about the floor! My husband has just laid it (along with underfloor heating). He applied the stain wrong and had to scrub it all off with wire wool and reapply so it's been a bit of a labour of love!!! I'm really glad pleased with it now though.

I did think about not having a rug but I think it will be nice to have somewhere cosy for the kids to sit/play/watch TV.

Agree with the person who said it's a bit playroom, it's brighter than I would normally go for but I figure there are toys everywhere all the time anyway and everyone keeps telling me the room needs colour so I'm just going to go for it, for a change!

would your dh be offended if you cover his labour of love floor with a rug?

I think a rug would protect and complement that lovely floor. Don’t think of it as covering it.

Hope you don’t mind my mentioning it but I suspect the room needs better lighting to show off all these lovely features.
