RUNNER CARPET
Also known as a stair carpet, a runner can completely transform a hallway or hardwood floor house. Combining safety and style, a tactful runner print can add light and personality to the dullest of spaces.
VINTAGE RUGS
Having experienced a 190% search increase in the past year on Pinterest, Vintage Persian and Turkish rugs are ideal for injecting some colour and character into your country home. And, traditional patterns promise to remain timeless.
STATEMENT RUGS
Designers have increasingly made floors a focus and there’s no better way to pour some colour into your living room than with a statement rug. Plus, they’re perfect for making a wooden floor feel more homely.
SHEEPSKIN RUGS
The sheepskin rug is standing firm as one of the cosiest accessories for your home. Drape one over the back of your chair or use it as a rug below your favourite reading chair – next to the fire, of course. Plus, because they’re a bi-product that tend to not be treated with any harsh chemicals or dyes, they’re environmentally friendly too.
AZTEC RUGS
Thanks to the repetitive and colourful pattern of tribal rugs, they bring vibrancy and colour to any floor – and they’ll look jazzy in summer and yet, snug in the colder months.
