Are you sure you can actually vacuum those rugs you selected. Some cannot be vacuumed.

I think all of these are from Overstock.

I also prefer the first one if you're sure it can be kept looking that good.

Didn't know which third one you meant.

Yes, light rug would look better..

Agreed. A light colored low pile rug would be much easier to keep clean than these. You cannot vacuum those rugs as the beater bar will pull out the fibers. Shampooing will matt the synthetic fibers. It can be done but it is more maintenance that it is worth.

You are better off going for a hand knotted shag rug.

Definitely the second one. :-)

Maybe sharing some of our designs will help inspire you? Take note of the rugs.

I think it would be well suited and it's a bit different as well.

I don't think dark is going to be easier to keep clean. My designer put a dark blue sample on our floor and within seconds it collected light colored particles. Light dirt shows like crazy on a dark background. Pattern helps.

Consider something neither masculine nor feminine but with some lighter areas to stand out on your dark floors.

You should select one with a medium tone as dark will show everything. Also choose one that will be easy to vaccuum & have cleaned.
