Rug ideas!

Hello! I am waiting on this suite to arrive (have gone for slightly different combination of patterns but colours the same) and wondering what kind of rug would look best? I don't want the rug in this picture (this is the store display) but I don't really know what would work best.
I love neutrals but don't want it to be bland and don't want it to be too grey. The second picture is a look that I love and would like to create a version of this if I can.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Comments (8)Main question with expensive rugs is "do you really love the rug, independently of fashion trends?". I do worry that expensive graphic designs are very much in style now but could well be something which palls very quickly as trends move on and you get sick of the pattern. I'd always go for cheaper rugs for these "fashion-led" designs. Does your selected design go with your sofa? Yes, I think it does. Other issues are: (i) what wall colour are you going to use?; and (ii) is the high-shine wood flooring in picture no. 1 as warm-toned in reality? It's easier to get tonal and colour matches to work if you are dealing with the same undertones. The floor looks like it has warm, yellow-based undertones while your sofa and proposed rug are cool, blue-based shades. Brought together, they may seem a bit "off-key" due to the flooring being warm versus their cool. This isn't a point about the rug but about each of them....See MoreNeed rug ideas
Comments (5)Yes low pile and patterned are best for hiding any marks. You can also get machine washable rugs. I bought a jute rug as I had heard they are good at disguising any marks and that is true, but mine is quite thick and holds on to so much dust and crumbs in all the crevices, I have to regularly put it on the washing line and beat it with a stick because hoovering just doesn't cut it....See MoreRug Ideas
Comments (17)It's so strange reading these comments, these were the exact same things i've been thinking and looking for! I've searched for hours for a nice berber rug that isn't a fortune and that second rug from Wayfair is one of my favourite rugs out of everything i've seen. I thought the same though, that it might be a bit much. Just having a look on Pure now, they're gorgeous! I'm based in London though and would rather spend more on the rug itself than all the shipping costs....See MoreRug ideas - contrasting colour sofas
Comments (21)Thanks everyone for your ideas. That's great and really useful. Like the rug ishanson. It's looking like either a neutral (but contrasting against beige carpet) or a colour based rug would work equally well, depending on personal preference. We have double doors from the living room into our dining room which has black & white check curtains - photo shows the view through. I'm wondering whether a black and white/ivory rug would connect the rooms together from a design point of view? Saying that I think a rug that pulls the colours together would look good too....See MoreCarolina

6 years agoCarolina the floor is natural oak, probably not ideal with the grey but I figured I could probably get away with most things with this floor

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoLovely floor. I'd probably go for a grey rug. Comes closest to your inspiration photo. Westelm has a silver rug that has a similar carved pattern in it as the pattern of the sofa. But it's viscose/wool, so luxurious, but probably not very practical. http://www.westelm.co.uk/carved-hand-loomed-shine-rug-silver-t3490
There's also this one, from York rugs, which is wool. Wool can shed, but it's sort of stain resistant.

6 years agoThanks so much for all of your advice. I'm trying to find low pile rug, preferably not 100% wool simply because I'll have underfloor heating and don't want something too insulating. Any thoughts on this rug?

6 years agoActually just realised they have lots more neutrals ones...what about these? I'm quite drawn to this make (mad men) because they are 85% cotton (so less insulating) and they come in bigger size than most :)
