i love magazine homes and their perfect styling, but i’ve always much preferred learning from real homes and the decisions that regular people make around the house. not to say that regular homes can’t be well styled too, but it’s great to see design details put into practice in more attainable settings. kelsey keith of…
one of the trends i’m really enjoying right now is hand-drawn illustrations and prints working their way into homes. i love the allan the galant paper that launched recently, and now i’m really intrigued by this hand-drawn kitchen floor created by artist/creative director olle hemmendorff in sweden. the best designs often come from someone who…
jon at itsknotwood sent over this fantastic faux bois rug ($149+) from pottery barn. i just picked up the faux bois mat (which is pretty big in person!) and now i’m pining over this version. so cute. thanks, jon! [if you're looking for more patterned rugs click here and here]
yesterday i ran into the city to look for the perfect round rug for our living room. we have an accent wall with this wallpaper and i’ve been looking for something soft that would match the lightest pale grey color in the paper. no such luck, but i did pick up this cute faux bois…
still waking up this morning…but i thought i’d get things started with a little monday morning eye candy from designer selina rose. she just launched a new collection of eco-friendly watercut felt rugs that will be shown at 100% design this september. the collection includes rugs, table runners and bespoke panels, all made from 100%…
today’s guide is the second half of our patterned rug roundup. last week i posted part one, which was only a small portion of the rug guides i’ll be posting over the next week or two. so far we’ve posted runners and patterned rugs part one so i hope you’ll enjoy patterned rugs part two…
i’m editing and coding today’s coverage of bklyn designs (which was great this year!) but i wanted to kick things off this morning with this beautiful new concrete flooring from san francisco’s trasnparent house team. because concrete flooring has become popular in modern homes, the transparent house team decided to create an application that would…
thomas paul is launching a lovely new collection of lighting and rounded rugs at this year’s icff- here is a little sneak peek of what’s to come next week….
when i set out to build a guide to my favorite rugs in the market, i knew that tackling patterned rugs (as opposed to runners and solid-colored rugs) would be a hefty task. so rather than try to post all 70 images (some of which are collaged images of 4 or more designs) at once,…
today we’ve got a big rug guide coming up at 1pm so i thought i’d start today with new flooring from ruckstuhl, showing at icff this month. i love this simple, modern flooring but i’m loving the actual room styling in the photo, too. i wish i was able to showcase my mixed collections like…
today is the first of a three-part product roundup dedicated to rugs. over the next three weeks i’ll be rounding up a large selection of rugs divided into the following categories: runners, patterned rugs and solid/basic rugs. today we’re kicking things off with runners- my favorite way to add color to dark hallways. i’ve been…
with icff barely two months away i’m starting to slowly get some sneak peeks at products that will be debuting this may at the javits center. one of my favorites so far is this beautiful rug from san francisco designer vicki simon. at icff vicki will be introducing her ‘taxonomy’ collection and a piece called…
who doesn’t love a little color on the floor? as much as i love our (admittedly torn-up) wooden floors, i’m always tempted by a beautiful rug. i love this yellow peacock-inspired plume rug from jonathan adler ($895). it looks soft and perfect for a no-sock-wearer like me. click here for more information and to buy.
i’ll take two of these rugs, please. oh heck, i’ll take all three. melbourne designer georgia chapman makes the most beautiful new zealand wool rugs under the label ‘vixen’. i love the deep indigo colored ikat rug on the right but that lacy one at the bottom also has my name on it. one day…
i’m loving these beautiful 100% new zealand wool rugs from indib. these two designs (“branches” and “deck”) use silk and viscose accents and have such lush colors that it’s hard to resist ordering one for our living room. emma at indib told me that these rugs have been tested in homes with children and are…
our friends jon and mindy are putting together a nursery and pointed me in the direction of dash and albert rugs. they’ve got a huge collection of hooked, hand loomed, wool, braided, tufted and indoor/outdoor rugs- some of which might even be good for our dining room. i was drawn to the “rain or shine”…
i’m still on the hunt for a chevron-style rug for the dining room so i’ve been hopping from rug site to rug site. even though they’re out of my price range, i love so many of the rug company‘s designer collection styles- especially those from marni and vivienne westwood. although sometimes i think i like…
i’m desperately trying to find a great white and black chevron rug for our dining room. i’m in love with the madeline weinrib version above but sadly, madeline’s prices are way, way out of my budget. does anyone know of similar styles in a flat weave anywhere? or even something vaguely similar? i’m really starting…
despite the fact that we’re having a second air conditioner installed in our apt today, it’s starting to feel like fall in retail land. i’m loving these rich woven rugs at anthropologie- the whole store feels like autumn now and i’m really looking forward to being able to put on sweaters, open the windows and…
beautiful rugs from cloth australia- they require overseas shipping but that one on the left is so cute it just might just be worth it…
