Where do you buy your carpets? Is it possible online as well?

I don't show my husband what I order beforehand at all.

Yes, I have also regretted not doing it like you. Just have it charged to him - surprise! :D

Stupid question: do you buy the carpet so big that the sofa stands on it, or do you only lay the carpet in front of the sofa? Because in the latter case, it would be much cheaper and the selection larger. But does it still look good then?

Why do you still need carpet today? Is it some kind of decoration or does it have a deeper meaning? Well, with underfloor heating it can only be decoration, with older buildings I might still see foot warmth, but otherwise? P.S. I just got an ad for flaschenpost - a beverage delivery service in Düsseldorf (but I don't even live there)

Of course it is decoration but also for cuddling on. We like to lounge around down there, play something, annoy the cat, etc.

Ok... I can only remember that we had the usual oriental pattern things in the living room and under the dining table. So at grandma/grandpa’s and my parents’ place too. I already thought it was rather lame as a child because you couldn't see the beautiful parquet anymore ;) They were huge, at least your desired 3x4m, I don't even want to know what they cost.

If you sit a lot on the floor without underfloor heating then I get it :) I assume you’ve already looked in the really big furniture stores, right? They’re always different locally, for us Porta and Zurbrüggen, in Munich I would go to Segmüller. But of course call beforehand to see if they have something in that size.

We only have the rug in front of the sofa, about 1.20 x 1.70m. We chose the rug to be extra low so that the vacuum robot can also go over it.

Best regards
