Help me to pick a Ruggable rug

[HerculesMulligan]

Buying one in the biggest size to (finally!) cover a horribly scratched engineered wood floor in our sitting room.

Our walls are white, with various bits of furniture that are primarily oak with a bit of muted gold. Sofa is "raspberry rhondite" (a dark dusky pink https://twitter.com/the_lounge_co/status/1437846219158609923), lamps hanging over the sofa are gold and dark green, prints are largely black/white typography or photography.

Importantly, house is mid-century and open plan, and I try to honour that where I can - we've lived in Victorian cottages before and our furniture from there looks fundamentally ridiculous in this much more linear space.

My shortlist is:
https://ruggable.co.uk/products/jonathan-adler-inkdrop-black-ivory-rug?size=150x215

https://ruggable.co.uk/products/morris-and-co-blackthorn-ivory-rug?size=150x215

https://ruggable.co.uk/products/jonathan-adler-op-art-teal-rug?size=150x215

I can imagine all of them working - the Inkdrop picks up the monochrome prints, the Morris and co would probably need to be hoovered least and it picks up the pink in the sofa (but is probably the least in keeping with the house's general style) and we both like the Op Art rug, but there's a fair bit of blue in it that isn't anywhere else in the room and I wouldn't have otherwise introduced it - I'd be picking up the green in the lamps if I was looking for another colour.

I've had all three in my basket for weeks now, and need to get on with it. DH is at the point where he never wants to have another rug-themed conversation with me. HELP ME PLEASE.

Look at the last two posts! No wonder I'm so bloomin' conflicted.

I probably fall between the last two posters.
I have two, one in the entrance way and one in the less used lounge.
I have the standard rug set up.

I find that they are thin and a little crunchy. I wouldn't want to lounge around on them.

I do find that they are hard to lay completely flat, particularly the larger size.

I don't have any issues with shedding or mat coming unstuck.

Having a washable rug is great during winter.
It also means I'm super chill about teenagers and their endless Starbucks in the lounge.

I like really like the look of the patterns I have.

I'd go for number one. In your post you seem to lean more to that one anyway. You give a reason why the other two might not work.

I also like the second. I really dislike the third.

Definitely the first one for me. The second won't move you towards a more in keeping style i.e. not Victorian, and the third looks a bit generic and boring to me, a print you'd find on a budget rug from somewhere like dunelm or ikea

Love number 2 ❤️

Second one, but I've heard really mixed reviews so wouldn't waste my money, tbh.

The first, although it is a bit dull. The second wouldn't work with your house or sofa, and the third makes me feel as if my retinae are at risk of detaching.

By the way a friend got a ruggable rug and she hates it. She says it looks and feels cheap - I must say it looks fine to me.

This is what outs me off Ruggable too-the very mixed reviews!
You can pay a lot of dollars for a rug can't you!

1 or 2. I would go for the 2nd one.

Number 3

1 and 3 would give me headaches with the patterns, the Morris one is lovely

Just to add to your confusion, we got a vax carpet washer and while it is a bit of a pain to use, it washes rugs and carpets very well. I had a quick look at ruggable but for the size I’d want (very large) it’s a)££££ and b)requires you to go to the laundrette which I personally couldn’t be doing with. Instead I’m going to buy a standard rug and keep it clean with the Vax.
