Ah, the ERSLEV.
I have bought this rug twice. And returned it twice. As much as I want to use it, I have not found a space for it in our home. But what a good deal it is. $40 for a 5×7(ish) size and $70 for an 8×10(ish) size. It’s a great price especially since rugs are ridiculously expensive. I love that it’s 100% cotton and washable. I love all the possibilities it holds.
Here’s a round up of my favorite modifications (all done with paint!).
I ended up going with the NASTVED rug, which is so similar (basically an ERSLEV in runner size), in my kitchen, but no modifications to it yet. It’s white/cream but it’s so easy to just toss in the washer to clean, the color has not been a drawback.
Do you have this rug? Or a favorite item from Ikea? Did you know can order Ikea rugs (and other items) on Amazon? Great news for those without an Ikea nearby.

Did your ikea nastved rug survive ok in the washing machine? I notice the instructions say hand wash or dry clean only on the label but I’d like to put it through the washer on a gentle cycle to make life easier!
Yes, I have washed it too many times to count and it is fine!
That’s good news! Thanks so much for the info.
