Help me choose a rug please

[Theonlyoneiknow]

Hi Peeps

So i thought a rug might bring our lounge together a bit more but cant decide. Problem is carpet is polypropolene so already concerned about a fire risk. The first rug is the only wool one, the others are polypropolene. Any wise thoughts anyone or suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Sorry 3rd photo is the wool one!

I like the first black and white one.
And I salute your user name which is my favourite charlatans song.

The first one

That is my fav too - its a best size and lovely and soft. I am just worried (?) because it is also polypropolene. Well to be honest I wasnt until DM started having a go!

I like the 2nd one with the yellow

The third one is lovely and homely, I'd go with that one.

The third is nice too. The only one I don’t like is the middle one. I would go for the wool everytime. I didn’t see your second post so thought the first was the wool.

I like the colours in the middle one but ot looks cheap (and was cheap). If the 3rd one was bigger it would be a no brainer. They are all La Redoute. Maybe need to lose a few more hours looking!

It is an awkward long narrow room too which doesnt help!

The second one

It wouldn't bother me what it was made off really, as long as it looked nice (I'm superficial like that however)

Number 2 is lovely.

Number 1 is overdone now! And la redoute have been awful at sending them out

Oh man decisions !! This is other end of lounge (I know lots of shapes but the chair was picked up ex display and is soooooo comfortable)

I would have said 2 (I want but room is too small!). But seeing the other end of your room I say 1.

No.2 comes in a smaller size!

Ooo fab! Love your colours whatever you choose..

No.2 is too matchy with your curtains.

1. Failing that, 3. Definitely not 2.

Thanks for all the comments! Appreciate taking time to post. Is there anywhere I am missing a trick by not looking at? I feel like I have googled forever looking (and dreading packing the unwanted ones up for return!)

I have the first one, lovely rug but after having it about 8 weeks it's not as soft as it was!

I prefer the first or third. Have you tried pulling it away from your fire and putting the edge under your sofa/chair?

I have a weird shaped living room too and it's hard to place things.

Have you tried wayfair?

Ok having seen the rest of the room I think I'd probably steer clear of any more patterns tbh.

I have an incredibly boring one from John Lewis
It's plain grey. But it's the softest thing I've ever touched

I think achica have rugs on atm too

Agree about too many patterns - I could change the curtains but they are new (ish) and I like the pattern/colours. Maybe a plain large dark grey rug would be better? Or I move the checked chair to the other side of the room. I am so rubbish at interiors (moved in 4 years ago I am that bad!!!)

The third one is my favourite from that angle, but with the curtains and check sofa I'm not sure. Could you put a throw over the sofa to reduce the amount of pattern?
