Patchwork Rugs

I am in love with patchwork rugs! Patchwork rugs are a big trend now, and I predict that this edgy look will not go out of style for a long time - good investment!

I am moving to New York City in July, and I have been researching patchwork rugs to fit in my new Manhattan apartment. I am looking to customize a patchwork rug or runner based on the dimensions of the floorplan. I will pick a colorway that will work well with my overall design.

Overdyed patchwork rugs are current and fabulous. Cowhide patchwork rugs are also a fabulous find. I have attached some patchwork rugs:

A Citrus Summer!

This summer is bananas! Celebrate the summer by adding bright sunny hues to your home. Surround yourself with vibrant happy colors. Bright yellow, lime green, bursting orange and grapefruit pink make a room light up and feel fresh.

Citrus colors such as sunshine yellow and radiant orange are hot. The citrus color scheme works well in any design style. Painterly palettes and juicy colors oh my!
