I love rugs I love how they dramatically change a space from ordinaire to extradinaire. Funnily enough they are often the last thing I source – everything else I find easy peasy rugs take me a little longer. There are rules although often times I break them but the theory goes if you already have pattern on your walls or furniture opt for rugs with solid colours as too much pattern can be a little overkill. I have inky painted walls so have opted for patterned rugs to enliven my space.
They are great for cosying up a space, adding texture and a focal point and they don’t have to cost the earth. Anthropology, Ikea and Habitat have some fab ones. Below are a couple of images from the Rug Company who have made rugs sexy all over again – I am rather fancying that dressing room below I have to say!
Rather loving this room – the pattern and texture of the rug is fantastic. Without it very plain with it – fabulous!
This is the bedroom of my super cool friends Graham & Jo Atkins Hughes with a rug from the rug company. Heavenly – if they didn’t live two minutes away I would copy this look in a nano second!!
Some of the individual items in the room are quaint, but this is no granny room. WOW! It is so modern, filled with texture and interesting colours. You could do it anyway and then say it was your idea first! You may lose a friend but you would have a fabulous room!
OMFG that bedroom is perfect. What am I doing with pale grey bedroom walls like an idiot? I was dying to buy one of those vases, in yellow too, on a date weekend in Venice but they were hugely £££ and I couldn’t get my husband quite drunk enough to agree to it.
Yes have similar probs with own husband they seem to not like spending money – as far as mine goes – that means any money x
Those swirls look better on the rug than on a latte to me! ADORE Graham & Jo’s one even more! Gorgeous bedroom. xo
If you are looking for a way to make any room in your home more attractive, then you may want to invest in some oval rugs. You can use an oval rug in the living room, dining room, bedroom or outside, even if you get the type of carpet.
