One of the most searched items on the Homes to Love website is ‘rugs’. Your living room isn’t complete without one. there’s a dazzling range out there, but finding the right one can be like trying to solve a puzzle. Moroccan, navajo or tibetan? Flatweave or plush silk? antique or new? Square or round? For decades, antique Persians, hand-knotted from silk and often taking years to produce, were the gold standard of floorcoverings. then the market was flooded with fakes, tastes shifted, and high-quality rug production was no longer sustainable. Blame our increasingly casual culture. there has, in fact, been a 40-year move toward less formal carpets. Wool is the new silk. established imperfections are the ideal standard. there is no rule that says you have to limit yourself to one rug in a room. try using different rugs in large rooms to define areas. Still can’t decide? then layer them. these are a few of our favourite rug options in different price ranges – many are stylish enough to plan your whole house around. Melissa + Isabella.
