When it came time to get a rug for the front entry in our new house, I was a little bit lost.
I couldn’t land on a vision of what I wanted against the very bold checkerboard floor.

I didn’t want a solid rug because there would be nothing to disguise stains. A geometric would be too much with the very geometric pattern already on the floor. When I first laid eyes on the Lalita rug and runner from Lulu & Georgia, it’s like everything fell into place for me.
I had been thinking I’d have to go with something softly colored and patterned so as not to compete with the checkerboard, but I completely love the bold statement of the richly colored rug against the black and white floor.
This rug is both a departure for me and right in line with my usual taste. The pattern is a very traditional Oriental-style but the deep raspberry pink with navy and aqua accents feel totally fresh and contemporary.
I’m learning to just go with my gut more and more when it comes to decorating. If I love something instantly before I even have time to really think about it, I know it’ll be a lasting love. If I have to think too hard or convince myself I like it, it’s not the right decision.
I was just instantly drawn to this rug and the longer it’s been in place, the more I love the look. Definitely a bold statement, but an entryway is a great space to have that feel.
Some days are easier than others to get shots without little photo bombers :)

I love love love your checkerboard floors. I have always been obsessed with that look. Your rugs are gorgeous too. The color is beautiful
I was actually certain I would paint over them the second we moved in but my hubs said I should wait because they might grow on me. And he was totally right – I kind of love them now. I hope he doesn’t read this – don’t want him getting a big head…
If I won, I would buy a pair of lamps for our nightstands in our master bedroom. Love that rug!!
Their lamps are amazing – great choice!
I’ve been in love with black & white checkerboard floors since I was a kiddo (a little friend’s playroom floor was a check board and it seemed so fun and “fancy”). Your floors plus that lovely raspberry rug (the color is so lush) are stunning! What a great mood and tone this combo sets for a warm welcome into your home.
Lush is the perfect word for the rug colors. It’s really stunning in person. It wasn’t love at first sight for me with the checkered floors but they’ve really grown on me and I have no plans to change them now!
the crazy thing is when i clicked on their site and looked at the rug, I would’ve never thought twice about it, but your photos really draw me to that rug! I wish i had a place for it!
I had actually seen a room-scene photo before I bought it, which is what really caught my eye. It’s so much more vibrant than it looks in the stock photo!
I love the color and pattern with the checkerboard floor!! Looks so good!!
Scott was a little hesitant when I first showed him but I really love the bold with the bold. Somehow they just feel like they belong together!
LOVE the new rug!! So much character!
I’m such a fan – the quality is fantastic. And it’s all synthetic but feels like a plush wool!
i might copy you on that rug…. i want one for me entry!
I couldn’t recommend it more. Gorgeous, and meant for high-traffic areas!
The rug colors look amazing!
I think it’s even more stunning in person!
DAWNAH THROW, BURGUNDY AND ORANGE would be what I would pick.
Gorgeous!
I’d get the Even Keel Mirror, Square. It’s gorgeous and would be a great fit in our guest bedroom that I’m trying to revamp.
That would be beautiful in a guest room!
I would definitely buy a new runner for my entry if I won! Love the bold color of the one you chose!
Their rugs are just so gorgeous. Some really unique ones there that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
I need a 9 x 12 rug for my living room! I also need a rug for my breakfast nook, dining room, entry way and office!! New house = lots of decorating!!
Tell me about it!!
I loooove the rug Jennifer. The color and pattern are amazing in there. Such a good choice chica.
Wait…do you like color?? ;) Thanks!!
I would buy a new area rug for my family room!!!
So many beautiful ones to choose from!
Love the pattern in the Jill Rosenwald Hourglass Rug, Royal Blue. Very pretty!
Yes, gorgeous!
I love the pattern in the Jill Rosenwald Hourglass Rug, Royal Blue. Very pretty!
I have been looking for a sunburst mirror for the master bedroom from a long time. And also some wall art.
I actually think I have a little sunburst mirror problem. I just can’t get enough of them!
I think that rug is pretty perfect there! You’ll like those colors over the long haul because nothing will show. Our entry rug is similar colors and I never have to worry about it. We’ve had it professionally cleaned a couple of times and it comes out beautifully.
That’s exactly what I was thinking about the colors – they’re dark enough and there’s enough color variation that it will disguise any stains. So great for an entryway rug!
And I would definitely buy either a set of pillows, a pouf, or an Audrey lamp. Love their pillow selection.

I would like to buy all of those things too :)
I LOVE the rug and I’m not normally a red/pink fan but it really works with your floors. Very brave choice! I have a brown similar rug in my entry and you’ve inspired me to go bold! Thanks for sharing. Oh and the give away! YIKES I went and looked and I’m in love…. hope I win!
This is my first pink…and I’m digging it :)
Your rug looks amazing! I would love to win!
Thank you! I really, really love it, it’s such beautiful statement rug.
I am always one of those that hopes I can bring samples home… But Oh My Lulu & Georgia have some gorgeous rugs… I could spend hours just plotting and planning with all their choices
I know what you mean – hard to go off online photos. But in this case, L&G is just fabulous!
LOVE what you did with the entry. Our rug is perfection in there! :)
I think they were just MEANT to be together :)
I would get the Fiesta Stripes Indoor/Outdoor Rug.
Beautiful!
I am soon moving into my first post-college apartment so there are SO many things I could put this giftcard towards! Seeing the beautiful rug in your post, I’m tempted to say I’d buy a rug!
Well I am a little biased, but their rugs are spectacular :)
You just inspired me to go bold! I have a similar paint color in our entry I think this rug would be the perfect addition to our house. The lalita rug would defiantly be my purchase with the gift card. Thanks for the opportunity!
Fabulous! I totally adore this rug. Good luck!!
I would buy either a new lamp or pillows! I loveeeee lots of pillows.
Me too – little bit of a pillow hoarder here :)
Not to be a copycat, but I would buy the Lalita rug! It’s gorgeous!! :)
It is brilliant in person, you would love it!
What an amazing and bold choice! I’ve been on a 6 month hunt for a similar runner for my entry way, but have been able to commit to anything yet. Lulu & Georgia offers lots of great choices to consider.
I seriously love their rugs. Hope you find something you love soon!
Definitly the Cabaret Mirror. I’ve been looking for the perfect sunburst mirror for a LONG time now and that IS IT! It’s perfect to hang over my bed!
I am such a fan of sunburst mirrors – like art and a mirror rolled into one!
i would love one of their gorgeous rugs….Bold Arrow or Tri Montage.
I think I love them all – so stunning.
I desperately need some new bedside lamps!
Great choice!

Gosh I love that rug! I’ve been looking for a bright kilim for our laundry room.
I love the L&G rugs with a kilim look. Such great statement pieces!
If I won I would most definitely put the money towards one of Lulu & Georgia’s beautiful rugs. My new living room is longing for a pop of color – especially in these cold grey temperatures we’ve been having. I would go for the East Indies collection. Love how it looks in your home. Thank you for the chance to win!
That could be part of my draw to the deep colors – so much grey around right now. The pink is warming me right up :)
A pouf!
Aren’t there poufs great?!
A new rug or a set of lamps! We move into our first home on March 1st, so it would be amazing to win!
How exciting! Good luck with the move – new houses are so very fun :)

Awesome site!
Thanks for stopping by, Kimberly!
I LOVE your rug and used it for one of my clients, it’s the perfect mix of traditional and sassy with the bright pink!
That’s exactly how I felt about it – a nod to tradition but the colors are just so rich and modern.
Oh, man. They have the perfect light fixture for my bathroom. Need.
Wonderful! Good luck!!

I would buy the Imani Container
I was wondering if your Lalita Rug from Lulu & Georgia has withstood
the test of the last year or so in your entryway. It’s 100%
polypropylene, and I’m just not sure how that looks, feels, and wears. I
have little children and inevitably it will get dirty. I don’t want
something that sheds forever (like I’ve heard tufted wool does) or
fuzzes (like my current hooked polyester rug)… Do you have a moment to
give me a quick 1-year-later review, if possible? I would appreciate it
SO very much!
Great question! This rug has totally exceeded my expectations. The weave is thick and plush and has the look of a wool rug and a really soft, lovely feel. There’s been no shedding. The pattern hides every bit of dirt (I have two little girls who are constantly tracking things in). The polypropylene makes it appropriate for use by a door or in high-traffic areas but the look makes it totally perfect for a living area too. I absolutely love it in every way and HIGHLY recommend it!
Thank you so much! I totally appreciate you taking the time to give a review of it. So nice of you!
What are the size of the rugs?
