Suggestions on new rug
Discussion
For the interior designers of PH - I need a new rather large rug.
Unfortunately some pleb got rather drunk and knocked a shisha over resulting in some big burns in the carpet and current rug.
I am planning on replacing the carpet sometime next year after having a wall knocked through, so no point in changing the carpet now.
I need a rug that covers an area of 6'8" X 9' (203cm X 275cm) to cover the burns. I have a budget of ~£250.
I would really like a nice soft rug that's nice to walk on, but not one of these recently popular shag style rugs with loose fibers.
Here's a couple of pictures of the living room to help!
The fireplace is however now black :

Don't you get neck ache staring up at your its-not-a-Panasonic telly?
Yes, but the fireplace is going to go eventually so the TV will be put much lower down. And for the time being it's the only place I felt the TV would look any good due to the crap design of the layout of the room.No suggestion on a new rug then I take it.
ETA - not-a-panasonic - I don't quite get the relevance of that comment?
It's not my TV, I am keeping it while a friend is back with his parents, and will be replacing it when I need to.
I could quite easily go and buy a Sony, Panasonic, B&O etc, but having moved into my first house about a year ago, there's better things I wish to spend my money on.
Maybe I should do like most, and put a large 60" 3D tv on credit... actually, no.. I think I'll stay debt free

Finding a rug is not the problem, it's finding one that's big enough that seems to be a little more difficult!
Well I was thinking something not too dark, as the sofa's and black fireplace make the room feel quite dark.
The walls will be painted white eventually, so I thought something which compliments the current colours without being too dark.
I was tempted with a black rug with a funky but minimal red pattern running through it, but I am a little worried that I would be overdoing the red/black thing then.
It's times like this that a woman's advice would come in handy!
