Gone are the days of my beautiful kilim rug (like the one above from Anthropologie that I MUST have for our next house!) after Otto thought it was great fun to ruck it up and wear holes in it as well as his fur showing up really badly on it. Therefore, I knew I wanted a new rug when we redecorated our living room and it had to be super practical and as neutral as possible because I want the space to feel calm and tranquil. With a big dog I was looking for something that would hide his fur and the mud he traipses into the house every day after walks as well as being very robust as he loves a good wrestle and roll around on the floor. It also needed to be about 200cm x 300cm so that it would be large enough for my furniture to sit on it (did you see my guide to rug placement?). Whilst looking these were all options I came across, some fitting the brief better than others, but I thought it would be handy to share them as it’s always good to be pointed in the right direction for where to buy a good rug…

I LOVE that anthropologie one but also like the textural jute rugs for a natural look x
I’m guessing you went with the Urbanara rug? Do tell! As you know I have the La Redoute one, it is very lovely, but not sure it would be best for a dog. I love both the rugs from Heals you have shown, but they would not be big enough. It’s so hard to find (affordable) large rugs I think.
Oh wow I love all of these! It is so tricky choosing the right one with a dog I agree. Love number 8!
