fggtlibrarian and I bought this carpet on a whim last Saturday.  We like it.  It’s sort of like 1970’s retro shag.  It’s also comfortable as hell.  However, it sort of looks like grass.   And behindthisbeard hates it. 
What do you think?  Should we keep it or return it?  I’m leaning towards keeping!

  1. magnasparka said: Hmm, they don’t seem to go together. They kind of clash. :( Also the rug looks like it would imprint the movements of everyone and everything that sets foot on it which, I guess, is great if your going for crime-scene chic… yeah I’d return it.
  2. maxthe4th said: Keep it. Love the vibe and color.
  3. rawrmynameisroxiethedinosaur said: :O return it!
  4. wilkidu said: It does look like grass, but if you guys like it, screw it. Keep it! :)
  5. genie-brown said: keep it! it looks great! :)
  6. duckumu said: i dislike it because the mottled character of it matches the couch, which i think is ‘too much look’. i disagree with people saying it’s too big — if anything it’s too small. an area%2
  7. pablogriff said: Great rug. Not in that room, with that sofa.
  8. captain-fur said: I… I’m sorry, but I’d return it. It just evokes me too many bad 90’s clips (not bad-enough-to-be-good) On the other hand, it’s the perfect carpet on which throw parties on, you won’t mind if someone’s pukes all over it. It might get better.
  9. beardrub said: Keep!
  10. scribbledlines said: return it.
  11. dadamod said: carpet would be fine but the drab dark color of the sofa doesn’t go with the carpet..maybe a slip cover. something lighter and warmer.
  12. jasmineistrashed said: I agree its very 70’s, but with that couch i have to say hell no. Sorry.
  13. hellomynameiskiley said: I agree with Alex Brown.
  14. mykalmorgan said: Fuck I’m jealous.
  15. flatfields said: I’d return it, as it looks too big for the room and doesn’t really go with the couch. A darker color, maybe?
  16. amber-lynn said: KEEP IT!
  17. extrafirmhold said: Keep it. If Alex can have a rug on his face, you can have a rug on your floor.
  18. lukerson said: we’ll have to see what goes on those walls…
  19. cheetahgirl said: That’s a keeper for sure.
  20. myxbest said: It looks like the Brady’s AstroTurf grass…love it, keep.
  21. homesickvagabond said: Return it =/
  22. kyol said: keep it
  23. letmejusttellyou said: Blake and I have the SAME carpet! (I think.) I like it, it looks great on the wood floor.
  24. voguefemme said: Not sure it really works w/ the couch. But it’s still cute.
  25. raqueleuqar said: If it were a different color you should keep it, but it does look like grass…return it
  26. vereux said: if its comfy and you like it keep. personally i would dye it maroon or a another deep color that will add some color yet keep it warm and cozy.
  27. king-of-saigon said: return.
  28. synth-mouflon said: Keep it. Tint it. Black.
  29. blackinkjar said: i think it only looks like grass because it is the only other thing in the room. if you had variations of green hues on the sofa… or yellow throws or a coffee table… it could look pulled together.
  30. tomcablerees said: it’s ugly, return it!
  31. bodyofyears said: Return.
  32. bandwagonpete said: it seems pretty big for the room. the rug should sit nicely within the “L” created by the sofa/chaise and not go underneath the sofa.
  33. choronda said: I want to… play miniature golf or soccer on your rug.
  34. vincentwilde said: With the couch it kind of looks like you’re going for some sort of living room version of nature. You should paint a tree on the wall and call it a day.
  35. librariansoul said: a) I’m terrible at these kinds of things, so don’t listen to what I’m about to type. b) I don’t think it goes with the couch. c) I’m not a huge fan of the color. d) It looks MASSIVELY comfy so d) I would keep it.
  36. bernerd said: If you want to go for earthy chique, keep it. Otherwise, return it.
  37. danielbritain said: keep, but it seems really really big?
  38. thesoundandthefurry said: I love it!
