It All Started With Rugs
I’m a bit obsessed with rugs. I’ll spend hours upon hours perusing them online. I design entire rooms around a rug. Pulling colors. Setting themes. In fact, my favorite thing about having hard wood floors is how fabulous they look with an area rug covering them …
and centering a room.
So when the folks at Kalaty.com asked if I wanted to check out their fall rug collection online, pick out some favorites and then put together some room inspiration boards featuring said favorites, I was all over it!
Now, keep in mind that I am not a decorator. I’m just like you. A home décor lover. Albeit, a home décor lover with a bit of a rug obsession …
😉
I started with the Southwestern collection. There were so many amazing and colorful options, but I was immediately drawn to natural wool pile design …
and what a fabulous backdrop it would create for a nice well-worn brown leather sofa. And cowhide ottoman. And bull’s head skull.

And did you check out that amazing antler chandelier? And the framed horse art?
Swoon.
I could comfortably live in that room and pretend like I’m a bona fide sophisticated cowgirl!
Next up was the Contemporary collection. True to form, I was drawn to the navy and white design …
And then I had some fun glamming up a bedroom concept featuring a huge crystal chandelier and oversized mirrors and mirrored furniture …

I can just image the soft pile underfoot on a cold Chicago winter morning. Now I just need to convince Mike that this bedroom design is not at all girly.
😉
Finally, I checked out the IKAT collection. I immediately loved the possibility of this colorful design …
and I envisioned a modern take on Moroccan design that mixes together farmhouse and industrial touches …

What I love best is you can change things up with colorful accessories to match each season. Rusts and oranges for fall, cool blues for winter, and greens and muted yellows for spring and summer.
