Ah - that's because the old one got too long. Here's the new one - can't believe we're at Part 3! Almost there - I so want to move in now... Thanks for reading: looking forward to your comments! And I still need a rug (several, in fact!) https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/victorian-renovation-in-london-part-3-finish-line-dsvw-vd~5007838

Presuming you are keeping the colour scheme the same anything from a Black, Slate or Silver Plush at the top end to more affordable Santa Cruz Boardwalk if you want more than one colour and more affordable.

Well I did actually go and buy one and what a difference it made! Couldn’t get the one I wanted in the larger size from the link you posted (all out of stock!) but I did buy one from another company who are eco friendly and make theirs from plastic straws as well. Was going for a grey one but decided on something vibrant to brighten the concrete base up and we love it! It’s huge though.

Also like traditional rugs, and i think using them just brings the same rules as any other. If using a specific rug, you need to build the room around it, and use colours in the rug as Forzaitalia says. So with the navy base you would have navy, maybe a bit of pale beige / to lighten, I think you may struggle a little to tie in your amrchairs as they are very bright, and the colour dominating, plus it's a colour that isn't in either rug. Personally I would say that if you want to work with the rugs, then i'd change the armchairs for a neutral colour. I too would go for the second rug as it's easier to work with and a bit less dated. However, yellow and blue will not work with that rug.
