It’s not about the rug, Dude, it’s the fucking principle of it!
That’s just like, your opinion man.
I have not seen the film and am horrible at interior design. So I have no clue.
Two negatives cancel each other out, so I think you should answer the question anyway.
I’m glad somebody finally asked the question ! I’m a professional interior decorator for 30 years and I’m also a big fan of the Big Lebowski. The rug did tie the room together, but that is not hard to achieve. A towel or a piece of bog roll would have done the same. The reason: the Dude is crap at interior design.
I consider this to be one of the many little jokes of the movie, that makes it so lovable.
explaining a joke to death
The Dude lives in a shithole and somehow cares about the rug as if it is the main design piece.
