Best home decor item for a gaming room ever? I think so. Sadly, this retro rug offered by Etsy seller WTCrafts is all sold out, though it looks like she makes them to order, so maybe if you asked her nicely…

Artist Lise Lefebvre created “Bear Hunter” — a Persian rug that looks like a bear skin rug. It’s made from wool, wood, glass, and plastic.
We’ve previously featured Lefebvre’s felted covers for household appliances.

You’ll always have a place for your slippers with this rug! The slippers fit right into spaces in the design when you’re not using them, and become part of the carpet itself. The rug is called Tapistongs by French designer Lise El Sayed. It looks as if there are enough slippers for plenty of guests around the edge. Link
This looks like a pile of river stones, but this mat is soft and warm to put your feet on. The hand-felted “stones” are made of wool! Link -via Unique Daily
Craftster member enemyairship created this 7 by 7 foot rug of Mario in raccoon form:
He’s made of 386 granny squares, each one representing 1 pixel (3.5″ each) that makes up Raccoon Mario. I learned to crochet in February by watching youtube videos and recently watched another video for granny squares and got started on this project right away. I had originally thought that it would take me over 1 month to complete if I made about 10 granny squares per day.
Wow. I’m pretty sure I’d eat this in a weak moment. But it looks pretty awesome. I wonder if it attracts bugs?
There’s a “bear” rug, too, which is funny, but probably not functional. Just thinking about stepping on a rug made of gummy bears kind of squicks me out a little.

This Persian rug is made of colored sand and is located beside the Straight of Hormuz. Life In The Fast Lane has some great images of the “carpet” being assembled as well as some largest sand carpets of the past and some neat sand sculptures.
The “Global Warming” rug, created by the Barcelona-based rug company Nanimaquina and the Mexican design collective NEL, can be seen at this year’s “International Furniture Festival” in Valencia, Spain (23-27 September).
