mad cowhide disease

i KNOW!! terrible pun. but so bad it's awesome right? right?!?! anyhoo..as i stated in the last post on this here blog, i was interested in a cowhide rug for my living room and would like your esteemed opinions.
so here's the rundown of the room...benjamin moore's silver satin on the walls, orange-y blonde wood floors and soon to be this couch:ok, so i know this is a cheap couch. ikea is cheap. but it is exactly what i am looking for looks wise. it has clean lines and is white. and the slipcovers are entirely removable and washable. with a 4 year old who eats on the couch daily ne-HOURLY and 2 cats who enjoy sleeping and sometimes relieving themselves on it, i NEED cheap at the moment. so no judgement!!!
so now on to the rugs. i have narrowed it down to 4- OH! and remember to look at THIS for an idea of what i am going for- ok here we go...


i really am torn. the first one may be a little too orange. is it? hard to tell with a photo. i mean my floors are kinda orange...but i do like it.
i feel like i may like #4 the best. PLEASE give me your input!!

I like number 2 the best!

I think i am with you about number 4 - ok it is less distinctive but maybe it will be easier on the eye long term. (I would be happy with any of them truthfully - they are fab) xv

I know it is not helpful to say that I like all of them, but I really do! But, if I had to rank them, I'd probably rank them in the order that you've listed them. The second one seems like it would be the best to hide spills. The first one might have too much white. And I like the third one, but it's not very cow-y to me and probably the wrong color for what you're looking for. The fourth one is okay, I just don't think the pattern of the coloring is as nice as the first or second.

Since you really liked the one in the mag photo I'd go with No. 2. It also would not show dirt as would No. 1. Also No. 4 might work. Don't like No. 3. for same reason as No. 1. Hope you aren't too confused now!

thanks so much for the input. it really does help me to make my decision. i think any of them would look great, they are pretty similar after all. but i hadn't even THOUGHT about the dirt aspect...ME OF ALL PEOPLE!!! so with that said i think it is a toss up between 2 and 4.
