I think that would look great with your couch - love the orange & gray together

I like this one a lot, thanks!

Can you give me a crash course on why I should avoid poly and stick to wool? Does one hold up better with kids/pets?

Thanks again!

Nevermind, just saw that someone posted that above.

It's hard to tell from the photos, but does that couch really match with the teal/bright pink neon color schemes of the other rugs?

If you want a bright rug with that couch, I'd personally stick with bright natural colors, less shiny and neon.

Thanks, PP - yeah, that is my concern. Not sure how they'll match. The pink and teal ones look more jewel toned rather than neon on my screen, but that is the trouble with online shopping. But yeah, I am definitely not so sure the type of rugs I like match the couch i have, but I'm stuck with the couch!

The OP said she likes bright colors.

I like the Target Ethinicra in yellow or green.

+1 on the wool, whatever pattern you decide.

Thanks everyone!

Is the White Walls page for military wives? I'm not sure I could find the right thing...

Look for facebook page white walls. So helpful with decorating tips!

Personally, I like 3 and 4 the best of your picks. This really seems like such a personal style choice, though, so I don't know how much help my opinion would be.

However, I'd choose a wool rug, myself. Overstock has lots of really inexpensive wool rugs, about the same price as the ones you've listed.

Oops! Couch looks like this: http://www.samsfurniture.com/item.aspx?itemid=-1316589043&itemnum=3050055%2B77%2B34%2B75

I have a couch that is similar to this - it's a platinum/light gray sofa with a thin corduroy texture. (Not as thick as the corduroy in this picture, but similar.)

I like bright, colorful, contemporary rugs. Will any of these work?
