After months (years?) of searching we have a new rug for the living room!
Karavan in Newport sell beautiful handmade wool rugs from Afghanistan and they were having a sale which was just a bonus.
We chose this rug because the colours were softer and blend in nicely with the existing furnishings. The owners of the store explained that the pattern of the rug is inspired by a traditional apron design and each rug is unique using organic dyes to create colourful stripes with, in this particular rug, light coloured wool threaded through each stripe to soften the colours.
Photos simply don't do it justice.
It's really lovely and I agree, the more subtle colours suit your space so well. Good choice :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect choice, looks gorgeous xT
ReplyDeleteLove how it suits the aboriginal artwork too and you're open to adapting the main accent colours in the room by sticking to the colours in the rug x
ReplyDeleteAm in LOVE with this rug - just need a similar store in Perth
ReplyDeleteLove it! Good choice
ReplyDeleteWow, it's almost like they copied your artwork to make that rug - they match perfectly.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit of surprise to see how well they worked together!

Gorgeous rug. It's stunning. I love the more muted tones compared with the more traditional bright ones.
