Use Persian Rugs in your Kitchens and Baths

The Rug MAKEs the space!

Most people don't think to put Oriental Rugs in kitchens.  Well I am here to tell you, you might be missing out.  It can really pull together a space....and many persian rugs are made in odd sizes so that they can work in a small nook, or used as a runner.

In the last kitchen remodel I designed, we used Persian Rugs from the same Dealer I have from NY.  Mixing them in the space.  The colors are fantastic and my client thinks they are one of the best things we added to her kitchen.

isn't this dreamy? 
The Rug Really grounds the eating area in this kitchen

I couldn't agree more with the quote.

you can definitly mix and match!

Now,don't forget the bathroom.  Why use a run of the mill bathmat in the bathroom.  Use an oriental, or a kilim.  It will brighten the dreariest of spaces.  And since it is such a cold place with tile and marble it really warms it up.

this room would be so cold without the rug.

need I say more?

maybe just a little more....

beautiful....love the tub too!

So there you have it.  If your not inspired now....I don't  know what to  tell ya!
 

If you aren't in the market for a large rug for one of the big spaces in your home....don't forget about warming up the smaller spaces, and floors.   I will have a ton of small pieces to choose from next week, so don't forget to stop by my 3 day Rug Extravaganza!

START with the rug.

 One of the biggest questions I always get is "Where do I start?" or "I just don't know where to start!"  Well, my friends, I have a little piece of design advice....START WITH THE RUG!

 Many times it is one of the most expensive and most colorful pieces you put in your room.  If you are struggling with a color palette, or can't quite figure it out, start from the ground up. Seriously.  One of the most sought after American designers Suzanne Kasler has ALWAYS said "Start with the Rug." She believes so much in this statement that she went and designed a line of Rugs for Safavieh. So, it's not just me:)
