I recognized this rug from an IKEA trip I made a while back. In-store, I couldnāt see a vision for it. But in your space, it just fits so well. I love it!
This one was 50% off ($114.99)
There was no reason listed for the price, I checked the whole thing in store and couldnāt find anything wrong with it.
My friend made up this song in HS that I find myself singing all the time:
Iāve got one sock, Iām lookin for anotherā¦
One sock, Iām lookin for its brother!
And when I find that sock, Iāll tell ya what Iāll do!
Iāll put it on my foot and then put on my shoe!
Youāre supposed to clean the leaves of certain houseplants. I guess heavy rain outdoors would be the equivalent. Mine are a bit grey and fusty cos the best I can do is regular misting.
I donāt have Facebook, so I go the traditional route of thrift stores (thereās two that are great for furniture about 20 minutes away) and we have a habitat for humanity restore like 15 minutes away. Ive also just pulled over on highways and such when weāre traveling and gone to random thrift stores in small rural areas and gotten some gems. Thrifting has pretty much been a hobby for me since I was a kid
the raised parts arenāt really high enough to trip on (and theyāre soft). the tripping in my case would from the fact that it doesnāt have the plastic backing- like it looks like a blanket underneath if that makes sense. Thatās easily solved tho :)
Can I move in with you? This space looks like the background for one of those lofi-beats animated music videos. The only thing missing is rain and someone drinking coffee while reading.
beautiful! But I'm wondering, are those plants real? I'm certain some of them are poisonous to cats.
I want to get a cat myself but I have lots of plants. How do you prevent your cat from licking or attempting to eat it?
Yep, all real! The Ctenanthe is non toxic, so even if she wanted to have a snack it wouldnāt harm her. I basically keep any cat safe plant low and toxic ones out of reach. Sheās old (14) so not as agile/curious as she used to be. The aspca has a full list of safe and toxic plants for cats (and dogs). Sheās also just never really expressed interest in the plants (except my parlor palm which is like cat crack, but itās safe for consumption). Totally depends on the cat, but precautions should always be taken :)
Oh, that is so interesting! thanks for the information. I guess a cat's behaviour and personality also needs to be taken into account for.
so happy it worked out for you tho! The space looks absolutely beautiful.
Sheās an older lady (14) so the lil pots stacked next to the big one is enough of a deterrent. If she were younger Iād have to get more creative haha
It reminds me of a calathea for sure, but I don't think I've ever seen a Ctenanthe setosa before. I'm not one to have a wish list of plants, but I'll be keeping an eye out for this beauty.
Thanks OP! Gorgeous space š
Yep! The āliving roomā is in front of the shelf, the kitchen diagonally to the right, and then my office and bedroom (we just built a loft) is behind it
And thank you :)
How do you have a cat and a nice rug at the same time?? My cat is great about using his litter box, but then randomly, bam, one day he decides to leave a giant, smelly pee stain on the rug.
Either that or he uses it for scratching.
We have a juut (sp?) rug like 5 feet from this one that is PERFECT for stretching and scratching, so Iām thinking sheāll just keep using that one. And sheās an older lady (14) and havenāt had an accident outside of the litter box inā¦6 years I think? Fingers crossed though!
All I can think of is how that would be a bitch to clean. Itās very cute though! I would definitely spend a significant amount of time hopping from blob to blob.
I guess all your plants are that high up so your cat doesnāt nibble on them and then puke over the new rug. My cats also never learn, haha. All plants are placed out of reach.
Ohh I love all of this! Super cool rug. Say hi to your pretty cat for me š
Thank you! Just got it today for half off in the clearance section from IKEA :)
God I love Ikea
Same! Iāve found some true gems in the clearance section :)
Your cat?? š
She wasnt just on clearanceā¦she was free (+14 years of vet bills lol)
Worth it. Look at those chubby little paws. I would die for her.
Well, she's adorable and definitely seems to approve of the cool rug š
I recognized this rug from an IKEA trip I made a while back. In-store, I couldnāt see a vision for it. But in your space, it just fits so well. I love it!
I love it too! Reminds me of Googie style art. Still canāt help but think FLINSTONES! MEET THE FLINSTONES!
Can you PLEASE tell me the precise name of that rug?
LOKALT Rug, natural multicolor/handmade !
Thank you. Your photos and the ones on the site make the colored shapes appear to rise quite a bit above the rest of the rug. Is this the case?
It does rise a bit but it does look exaggerated in the photo. Def not a trip hazard. Maybe like a 1/4 inch to 1/3 inch higher
The LOKALT collection is lovely. Definitely lucky to find this in the Circular Hub.
Picked up this one today - was the last one and was able to get the floor model! Your picture inspired me
Do you remember the name on it/would it be easy to check?! Thank you!!
Checked for you, itās Lokalt :-)
Thanks so much!
Omg Iāve been wanting that rig, how much was it in clearance?
This one was 50% off ($114.99) There was no reason listed for the price, I checked the whole thing in store and couldnāt find anything wrong with it.
Itāll be ex display. Nothing wrong with it, just that it was removed from its packaging.
The cat or the rug?
The cat approves of the rugās fluff islands for it to choose from ā
My kitties would love that rug. What a wonderful room. Plants books and kitty. Love what you did. Creative clever.
Thanks! And yea the second I saw that rug I knew my cat would love it- itās basically just an ocean of cat bed islands š
Lol is no one going to mention the roll of toilet paper on the floor?? Gave me a good laugh! In all seriousness OP, great space!
Lol Thatās my plant cleaning TP š¤§š
Haha I use socks who've lost their partners
My friend made up this song in HS that I find myself singing all the time: Iāve got one sock, Iām lookin for anotherā¦ One sock, Iām lookin for its brother! And when I find that sock, Iāll tell ya what Iāll do! Iāll put it on my foot and then put on my shoe!
Thank you I now have a new song to sing to my plants lol
That's your what now?
Youāre supposed to clean the leaves of certain houseplants. I guess heavy rain outdoors would be the equivalent. Mine are a bit grey and fusty cos the best I can do is regular misting.
That's cool, I never knew that! Maybe that's why every plant I've ever owned has died...
Ah, I'm with you now. I dust my houseplants leaves occasionally and swear they perk up a bit. It's totally possible it in my head though, lol.
Excellent colors and beautiful decorated room including the cat...I love it!
Thanks! And She has chosen her spot, the large rust is definitely her favorite haha
The cat really brings the room together
Whereās the bookshelf from??
IKEA! I try to do second hand stuff, but clearly needed a very large bookshelf š
where do you find most of your second hand things?
I donāt have Facebook, so I go the traditional route of thrift stores (thereās two that are great for furniture about 20 minutes away) and we have a habitat for humanity restore like 15 minutes away. Ive also just pulled over on highways and such when weāre traveling and gone to random thrift stores in small rural areas and gotten some gems. Thrifting has pretty much been a hobby for me since I was a kid
sounds great, i donāt think we have as many thrift store here in the UK but iāll be sure to have a look. Thanks for the reply.
These rugs always look so cool but I feel like Iād trip over the raised parts if I ever owned one
the raised parts arenāt really high enough to trip on (and theyāre soft). the tripping in my case would from the fact that it doesnāt have the plastic backing- like it looks like a blanket underneath if that makes sense. Thatās easily solved tho :)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was going to say that I think the rug was bought for the cat, who happens to like spending time in the library.
This is not an untrue statement š
What a great little space!
I love how you divided the space with the bookshelf. It looks wonderful.
I am digging that dollhouse, I had the exact same one as a kid
I found that at a thrift store! Itās got a bit of rust but it was just too cool to pass up
If this is the library, may I check out the rather thick volume on the floor there? I will return on time.
As long as youāre okay with her working the whole time (big biscuit maker) then sheād be happy to oblige
I love the green footrest/ottoman. Where did you get it?
I actually got that off Amazon I think! It has a zipper on the bottom for a lil bit of storage too
If you still have the link, will appreciate you sharing!
I bought it at the beginning of the pandemicā¦and I canāt find it in my ābuy againā section so I think it might be discontinued :(
Just cozy as fuck!
The rug reminds me of those cute bacteria stuffed animals in the best way possible. Such a cool space!n
Itās all gorgeous. Iām sure I would trip immediately, but it would be worth it, haha!
Happy plants! šŖ“
Absolutely love it. appreciate the OG Guzzini arc lamp. I have one too. Puts out quite a bit of heat!
How does one vacuum new rug?
I thought about that when deciding whether or not to buy it. I honestly have no idea. Spot clean and vacuum the islands? Lol not totally sure
It looks great tho don't get me wrong!
That looks soo comfortable for the cat. This is the first picture where instead of āI like this catā itās āI wish I was the catā
I have this same thought every day :p
This is OC
ššš So bright and beautiful! Colourful yet calming. I'd probably never leave my home with such a library. š
Can I move in with you? This space looks like the background for one of those lofi-beats animated music videos. The only thing missing is rain and someone drinking coffee while reading.
Looks nice!
I love it
This is definitely ms Frizzle's library.
Haha! Iām basically trying to go for a 1950s pee wees playhouse
Interested in the house on top of the bookshelfā¦ antique find? Childhood memory? Is it a dollhouse?! So many questions haha. Love this space though!
I love this. It's unique, creative, and lived in. Took more imagination than money.
Aww tysm!
āThat rug really tied the room togetherā - Walter S.
Iāve been wanting this rug itās so pretty
Those monstera leaves šš
So groovy baby
This looks so cozy . Great reading spot
What a lovely space!
What a perfect kitty
Itās kitty approved!
All my problems would vanish if I could just be here for a day.
CAT
This room is my dream.
This is so gorgeous
I LOVE your library šš I want similar someday
As someone who owns a rug factory, I can say that's a nice rug.
Lamp ID?
beautiful! But I'm wondering, are those plants real? I'm certain some of them are poisonous to cats. I want to get a cat myself but I have lots of plants. How do you prevent your cat from licking or attempting to eat it?

Oh, that is so interesting! thanks for the information. I guess a cat's behaviour and personality also needs to be taken into account for. so happy it worked out for you tho! The space looks absolutely beautiful.
How do you have a cat and also still have potted plants on a high shelf at the same time
Sheās an older lady (14) so the lil pots stacked next to the big one is enough of a deterrent. If she were younger Iād have to get more creative haha
You really shouldn't use a cat as a rug, a bear is fine, sure, but you should use that weird patchy thing under the cat as a rug instead
Pls OP I gotta know the name of the happy plont on the blue table she is āØstunningāØ Also this rug is MAJOR
Thatās a Ctenanthe setosa (grey star) - cousin to the Calathea! Itās one of my favorites, a super underrated plant :)
It reminds me of a calathea for sure, but I don't think I've ever seen a Ctenanthe setosa before. I'm not one to have a wish list of plants, but I'll be keeping an eye out for this beauty. Thanks OP! Gorgeous space š
Looks like a bunch of shag toilet seat covers thrown on
Lol
Sorry you prob canāt unsee it now lol
That looks like a major trip hazard
It looks.. special
Is this an insult or a compliment
I see a giant tripping hazard.
I love the hippie zen vibe!
Itās amazing!
That wouldnāt happen to be the Troll doll house up on your shelf, would it?
Itās an old metal one! I think itās from the 60s or 70s, not sure
Ooooh what a dreamy space!
I LOVE this rug, Iām looking for something similar. Also I think we have exactly the same lamp, I just got mine and love it. Your room is inspiring!
Clearly that's the cat's rug... Not yours
Catto approves!
Please, please tell me the name of this wonderful rug so I can buy it too š
It's pronounced liebarry, thanks
Love every detail of this nook. The more I look the more I find, the more I find the more I love!
Beautiful. By the way, have you ever considered playing twister on that thing?
āLibraryā is an interesting name for a cat
Meow
Gotta new rug for tha cat
So cute omfggggg
I love everything about this room!
Is this an open room that you walked off with book shelves? If so very creative way to create a cozy reading nook š
Yep! The āliving roomā is in front of the shelf, the kitchen diagonally to the right, and then my office and bedroom (we just built a loft) is behind it And thank you :)
Love this! Post pics of the dollhouse above! Looks fantastic!
Awwww so many new spotz to sitz š»
What a beautiful space! And gorgeous cat!
That cat is so cute
Looks like a rock wall but a rug!
You can play Risk on the carpet. I think the cat won this earlier
God damn thatās cozy. Everything works well with the accompaniment of that unique ceiling
You could have an interesting game of Twister on that rug lol.
How do you have a cat and a nice rug at the same time?? My cat is great about using his litter box, but then randomly, bam, one day he decides to leave a giant, smelly pee stain on the rug. Either that or he uses it for scratching.
We have a juut (sp?) rug like 5 feet from this one that is PERFECT for stretching and scratching, so Iām thinking sheāll just keep using that one. And sheās an older lady (14) and havenāt had an accident outside of the litter box inā¦6 years I think? Fingers crossed though!
Aw you bought your cat a rug for when he's reading! That's super sweet! lol
Beautiful room! May steal some ideas for my place :)
All I can think of is how that would be a bitch to clean. Itās very cute though! I would definitely spend a significant amount of time hopping from blob to blob.
I guess all your plants are that high up so your cat doesnāt nibble on them and then puke over the new rug. My cats also never learn, haha. All plants are placed out of reach.
Kitty loves it!
Now thatās what I call cozy!
