Rockin' Rugs

When we moved in to our new place we knew a big expense would be the fact that we would need a few rugs downstairs since we have beautiful hard wood floors. Upon further inspection, it was easy to see that the larger area rugs can be 5, 6, 7, even $800... and as much as I love to have expensive taste, that was not a reality right now.

Here is what I gravitate to in terms of rockin' rugs:

Fun black and white inspiration from Rugs USA

Persian rug awesomeness from esalerugs

Another amazing persian rug from esalerugs

Neutral animal print is stunning from Surya

Traditional rug in stunning colors from Orley Shabahang

Hard to say no to an animal print rug, especially zebra from Joss & Main

Vibrant Turkish vintage rug from Etsy

How awesome is this antelope rug?! From Pinterest

So with some of these rugs obviously being out of my price range, I kept on searching. When mom and I recently visited Ikea I stumbled upon an awesome black and white rug that I loved and for $99!! How could I say no?! I immediately placed it in my cart and brought it home and I love it! It's so soft too and it was the perfect fit for the space. It's called the Lappljung Ruta rug and it's available now. Here's two photos from my house:

I absolutely love it. It's rad and comfy and bold and bright all at the same time. It's something I would've been looking for and just happened to stumble upon it, so it was fate, and in my price range. Score! What do y'all think?
