Picking out area rugs is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of options that I adore. I guess I'm most afraid of not being as in love with it a few years down the road as I was when I decided on "the one." Such pressure!
Area rugs are a great way to set the mood in a space. I am spending a lot of time searching for the perfect area rug that has just the right design, colors and functionality. Many components go into selecting the exact rug you want:
- Design or pattern
- Colors
- Texture and material to accommodate the amount of traffic on the rug
- How to clean
- Price to fit your budget
Should I be safe and choose a neutral or natural fiber rug?

Or go bold with lots of color and geometric patterns?
Or contemporary?
The Stockholm Rand rug from Ikea isn't something I would have considered off the rack, but it looks great in these interior decorators' masterpieces (IF you can find it in a store!):
Madeline Weinrib also has a similar rug to the Stockholm Rand, albeit at a higher price:
Or native, oriental or traditional?
What are your thoughts on the best rugs, and why?
Regardless of what rug I choose/you choose, it's good to remember to have fun creating your space and design it for you and your lifestyle!
Mobile clothing boutique = Genius. Friends Wendy Poston, Jennifer Clark, Capa Mooty, Charlotte Jones Anderson, and Alyson Griffith invented just that. They bought a delivery truck, lacquered it black, and filled it with their favorite fashions to create Dallas’s first designer shop on wheels. Debuting this week, you can hop aboard and peruse selections of tees, jeans, and jewelry. Labels range from casual to edgy. There’s no dressing room, but just about everything slips on easy (except maybe the leather leggings). Prices range from $20 for a bangle accessory to $500-plus for a fur vest. Track the truck here.
Where can I get my hands on these cozy boots?!
Ciao!
