A Few Thoughts About Rugs

Oriental and Turkish rugs have a way of always working. They are bold and rich, often with intricate hand-woven floral patterns or motif designs in glowing colors.

I think these rugs are unchallenged in design because they’ve been around for centuries—like artifacts with history.

An interior design metaphor similar to the predictability of a timeless evergreen landscape. They are there; they have always been there—adapting to diverse settings with an enduring allure.

In the avant-garde ambiance of an ultra-modern space, the juxtaposition is evident and unexpected, but—it works.

To genuinely appreciate anything, I believe it’s essential to notice everything for the unique impression it imparts.

Whether gracing the grandeur of a rock concert stage, in a city loft, or the hallway of my 1880 Italianate Victorian home, sitting proudly and effortlessly beside a Scandinavian rug, they are exquisite.

Getting it right is about noticing when your eye tells you something isn’t right and trusting it when it tells you it IS. Returning to our minds and referencing all the pictures and experiences we’ve stored away—stringing them together like a wonderfully curated collection. Weaving a narrative through space and time and trusting it.
