I too had a hard time finding the perfect rug for my living room. I wanted something neutral in color. I ended going to a carpet dealer, ordered a piece of Karastan wool carpet and had it bound into an area rug. The wool binding I had to order directly from Karastan. I didn't want it bound with nylon - that looked cheap to me. I had an 8 x 10 rug made for just over $700. Much cheaper than buying a wool rug of the same size and it is exactly what I was looking for!
