Annie Selke Rug Update: I Need Your Help!

March 20, 2018

It’s been a while since I last updated you on the Annie Selke rug production, and for good reason. I was waiting to receive some samples in to show you! If you’re new here and wondering what I’m talking about, refer back to this post! In short, you guys voted TWO of my rugs into the top 12 of the Annie Selke Rug Design Challenge last year. The winners’ rugs are being put into production this year, and I’m so excited to see the outcome!

However, there have been a few bumps in the road as with any design process, and I need your help in the decision making process! It’s going to take a bit of explaining, so bare with me…

The first rug that took the top spot in the contest was this reversible, cement-tile inspired rug. It’s reversibility set it apart from the rest, and I loved that it would offer you guys two options for the price of one. My original design image is below.

This rug is meant to be reversible, with the reverse image as below. 

As we got into the production process, I learned that the only material that would make it possible for the rug to be reversible is Annie Selke’s PET material, which is what they use for their indoor/outdoor rugs. This actually thrilled me because I have one of their indoor/outdoor rugs and I love how easy it is to clean. However, when I got the design back, it looked like this.

It’s not bad, but I felt like my original design was completely lost. And that’s what you guys voted for! After discussing with the team, I learned that this was as close to the design as they would be able to get in this material – which, again, is the only material they can make a reversible rug in. The rug has to be loomed in a certain way for it to be reversible, and therefore the images are a little more geometric in design. Guys…I was bummed! This was not my rug.

I asked what other options we had, and the Annie Selke team said they can have the rug created closer to my exact design in a different rug material. The team was really understanding in how I felt and wanted to get the rug as close to my design as possible as well! I figured let’s give it a shot and see how it looks because I really was set on my original design! Well, those designs just came in last week and here’s what they look like.

 

 

SO much better, right?! Guys, these rugs are INSANELY GORGEOUS in person. My jaw hit the floor! The design is spot on to my original creation, and the colors and texture are incredible. The downside? It’s not reversible. But it’s still easily cleanable (which was another top priority of mine…because, hello, kids!).

However, I just learned that this rug can only be available in ONE color option. I had asked if we could create both colors, but they are only looking to produce one rug of this style. This is where I need your help. I have to make the final decision by Thursday and while I know which one I would obviously choose, I need to know which ones YOU guys prefer since you’re the ones who voted me in! I wish we could’ve produced a reversible rug that was the exact image I had created, but since that’s not an option this is the next best thing. And I LOVE the design!

PLEASE answer the poll below…we have to respond back by Thursday, so it’s a quick turnaround! THANK YOU in advance!

    Hi Lauren! I just voted for the lighter rug…I love them both but would choose to order this one. Totally bummed they couldn’t do a reversible rug option with your design (and I know you are too) but I love that you made the choice to stick with your design over the sample they gave you (doesn’t look like your design at all) Great choice because it’s beautiful and why I voted for that particular rug to begin with! ❤️????????????

    Hi Lauren! Thanks for the long awaited update. I think you definitely made the right decision by sticking to your design, which they executed GORGEOUSLY in the second samples. I voted for the dark background (which surprised me, since I usually lean towards light neutrals), but when I saw you put it next to your couch on Live, the contrast just made the design pop, and I knew it was my favorite. Whichever rug you choose, I’m sure will sell out 🙂

    Sad that Annie Selke is going to miss out on sales of the rug not produced. Being the #1 rug choice voted by your loyal followers, by a landslide if I remember correctly, should more than speak to how well both colors of this rug would sell. I voted for my favorite version but can’t help to think how many of your followers (me being one of them potentially) are going to be disappointed that they won’t have the opportunity to purchase their favorite version of your design. That just sounds like bad business to me and could cost them sales on the whole product for that choice. I was really looking forward to adding it to my inventory for my own clients!!

    Voted for darker! So glad you didn’t just let them do the reversible which looks nothing like your design!

    Definitely the right decision to go with your original design over the reversible option – that is just NOT your rug!
    But, I understand the new problem – this is such a hard choice!!! I was drawn to the lighter first but functionally I think the darker would work better in my high traffic area. Good luck, they are both beautiful!!

    I totally understand why you refered to the reversible rug being “geometric”. Looking at their version, it almost looks like something you would find in a church rather than in a home which your design would.

    Hope the rest of this journey with the Annie Selke team goes smoothly!

    I think your initial design is gorgeous and while the reversible option they provided is nice, it isn’t yours, ya know?!? While it is a bummer they won’t do both, I really favor the white with the navy/grey design on top. Very soft to the eye but still the gorgeous design and pattern. I hope they do you well!

    Since you created a reversible design, and that’s what was voted in, but they can’t do it, it would be nice if they’d make BOTH colors for you. If they are indeed easily washed, I like the white background a tiny bit better, although both are beautiful. I really think they should create both of your designs, because I think they would both sell and they were both voted in, technically!

    Love th dark one but actually voted for the white, think it’s a little more universal than the dusky navy background. You can use the dusky navy as an accent color in an otherwise neutral (my life= white) space! And don’t worry about cleaning it, just rent a rug doctor every few months and it’ll stay clean!
