Nogg · 02/02/2023 21:13

I’m looking for a rug for living bit of living room kitchen diner.

There seems to be a lot of thin viscose and cotton ones which look very thin not very rug like.

what sort of rug for this kind of area. Also what colour would go as I have fallen fowl of quite a bit of grey.

must be muted colours, neutral or Greige.
no primary colours or brightness.

Don't be chicken, go for a bit of brightness.

No. Can push to muted faded colours only. I’m just not a colourful person.

Cream one would look nice and fresh. I got one from Dunelm to put under the dining table and on the first night, my son dropped a full plate of curry on it... Dr Beckmans brought it up absolutely amazingly! I can't believe how well it took the stain out. So, don't be afraid to go white!

Yes was thinking cream.
was also looking at Louis De Poortere rugs on John Lewis but I couldn’t work out how they were rugs and not just tablecloths?

the Agra rug is nice thanks is it soft or flat weave ?

It's not soft. More a weave. Looks good tho. I went big!

Not jute. Too rough and bits break off .

Rag rugs are beautiful and also environmentally friendly! Something like this? https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-anyday-recycled-cotton-chindi-rug/p4021065?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappios&size=l120-x-w180-cm&&_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5Lk1lc3NhZ2U=

A berber rug. Soft, adds some interest whilst still being cream

Yes maybe. I had a Berber rug previously it was nice but may prefer something a little more formal? I like the faded Persian style but the ones I have seen are very thin! ( or
too expensive for this area at risk from kitchen mess)

What I'm loving about this retailer is you can order a rug sample for a £1

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 03/02/2023 10:03

have a look at Ruggable
The top and bottom seperate, and the top bit is machine washable. Really good fir heavy traffic areas.
