I bought a striped rug last year for my living room and I really love it. It is a great accent piece in a room that basically has no other pattern. I like the added texture but I have kept it in a neutral to match the rest of the room. There are so many reasonably priced striped carpets in wool or cotton and of course the black and white stripe one from Ikea is always a good choice.
