Michael Penney’s Revered Rugs
ever notice exactly how a excellent rug can truly make a room? commonly the style of a lovely area really begins with the rug as well as wall colour, then materials as well as furniture follow. statement rugs are around the location as well as can expense a mint, let me tell you! however what if you’re looking for a lovely, showstopping rug for a reasonable price? They can be difficult to find!
Here are a few of my faves right now (and where to get ’em):
Ikea has a new collection of Persian style rugs that I’m truly loving! The colours are just right — I definitely prefer them over the wine-red ones. Here’s a tip: To make these rugs look more like old, antique kilim carpets, flip the new Ikea rug over as well as utilize it wrong-side-up. I like this look. $349.
This jute rug from Pottery Barn is my favourite! It goes with whatever as well as I like the fringe detail. It’s one of the cheapest rugs they carry, however the very best looking of all (in my opinion). I really have an 8’ x 10’ at house — it adds that perfect, laid-back note. $69-$349.
This graphic rug from West Elm is one more champion for a excellent price. The au currant diamond pattern is bang-on as well as the high contrast colour combo is at when edgy as well as chic. throw this in a quite as well as traditional area as well as watch the sparks fly! $39-$649.
Okay, if you don’t understand that awning striped cotton flatweaves are in style, you must be living under an undecorated rock! These puppies are everywhere, as well as for great reason. They ooze downplayed great as well as add a layer of couldn’t-care-less-ness that just feels right. They add graphic punch, colour as well as a hint of youth as well as ease. this is from my favourite source, dash & Albert. You can get them in choose Canadian stores as well as online. $38-$525.
