It’s Like Patchwork
Rugs are one of my favorite elements in a room. They can easily make or break the design, and are an easy way to update an area with one item. Over the past year or so, I have seen more and more of the patchwork rugs in stores, showrooms, at Scotts, etc. and I like them more everytime I see them.
West Elm has this rug online right now and I love the way it adds an unexpected punch of color in their room. I’m not a fan of red, but this rug doesn’t bother me- maybe its because of the different tones and the way it pulls in some raspberry colors too.
Here’s another one currently at VivaTerra. It is made up of the patterened kilim look- really love it.
Here’s a runner in shades of brown, found here.
A little pricier at Room & Board, but the colors are great.
And here’s one in a home done by Kathryn Ireland, via House Beautiful…
I love that these patchwork rugs can serve the purpose of cozy-ing up a more modern room, or modernizing a traditional space. Either way, they are becoming a look I love. There’s an article and more resources on House Beautiful’s website here.
