Today’s guest post is from Jessica Cleary of Arcadian Lighting, a website and blog that features the latest in interior design as well as a beautiful collection of lighting fixtures for practically any room in your house. Here, she shares her latest favorite finds: a round-up of beautiful, classic rugs.
Traditional rugs are a wonderful way to add vibrant color, texture and pattern to your home. Don’t feel the need to limit these beauties to rooms with a traditional design scheme, because they’ll work well with almost any design style. One of the perks of decorating with traditional rugs is you can easily switch them out depending on the season or your current tastes. I hope you find some inspiration in these rooms and rugs!
The weathered black-and-white rug in this global, eclectic living room provides a beautiful monochromatic canvas for the brightly colored accents. A monochromatic rug is a good grounding element for practically any color palette.
Traditional rugs can also be hung on the wall as a beautiful, unconventional piece of art. This very feminine pink-and-blue room features several intricate patterns that work well together because of the all-white walls and carpet. The matching lamps are a showstopping element in the space.
The colorful Turkish rug in this kitchen and dining room takes center stage against the neutral palette in the rest of the room. The distressed wooden table and fur seat covers are fun and funky accents.
This home office space is instantly warm and inviting thanks to the brightly colored traditional rug and the ombre red and orange curtain. The heavy, traditional desk with distressed white paint adds a touch of vintage to the room.
This enclosed porch is perfectly inviting with its colorful rugs and antique lounge. Tip: A safe way to incorporate different patterns throughout a room is to limit them to the ground level, through the prints of the rugs and carpeting. This keeps the pattern from overwhelming the room.
The striped rugs in this crisp, minimal bedroom are a fun, modern way to incorporate rugs into your home. The simple stripes add a hit of graphic pattern to the spare space, and the red wall sconce adds a pop of color to the neutral palette that ties in with the red rug.
Another all-white room gets a splash of color and texture with beautiful red rugs. The well-worn quality of these rugs is a lovely contrast to the clean white surfaces.
Traditional rugs placed throughout a spacious room can establish areas for different activities and help protect the floor in high traffic areas. These rugs are as decorative as they are functional.
