Adding a patterned rug gives a little kiss of bohemian style to a classically modern décor, while colors add compliment to the artwork on your walls. When you’re decorating a more compact space, feature a richly patterned runner to blanket your wooden floor in color while drawing the viewer’s eye to artwork displayed nearby.
Exotic weathered area rugs can be an unexpected way to add a layer of opulence, warmth and texture to your Mid-Century inspired dining area, or an eye-catching way to work with your art collection to add a splash of energizing brightness to a more traditional gray interior. Layering a vibrant boho carpet over a neutral woven rug is an easy way to plant a patch of cheerful color in a clean minimal space.
