Rugs to Riches

Rugs are incredibly flexible components in a home or office furnishing setup. They create balance, harmony, and are excellent finishing touches to any space. As decorative items, they are ridiculously versatile and can be paired with almost any piece of furniture. As Maria of The Interior Editor puts it so eloquently, Rugs in our homes are shoes to a well-dressed outfit. Rugs can be a game-changer if they are selected and placed correctly. They can neutralize the room, or they can make a statement!

No matter how you use them, rugs are essential. Try taking the rugs away from a room, and you’ll notice how barren it looks. Beyond comfort and aesthetics, they’re highly effective sound absorbers. They effortlessly create zones in a home, add a touch of warmth, but can also brighten up a room. 

If you’re on the hunt for rugs that will do all of the above, check our top picks below!

Available in nine different shapes, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who can’t appreciate the striking designer combination of the woven vinyl primary material and textile materials in the Classic by Dickson Woven Flooring Collection. Key features of these rugs include a non-slip underlay, and they’re woven from revolutionary vinyl fibres that benefit from advanced technical qualities and excellent wear resistance.

Inspired by ethnic patterns and tropical trends, the Samba Synergy collection is a smooth and silky collection of rugs with a dazzling and intriguing set of colours that are bound to create a statement piece. They’re ideal for that contemporary look in any type of space. Available in seven special colours to choose from.

Designed by Karin An Rijlaarsdam with a focus on creating sustainable designs with a positive environmental impact – this collection is inspired by the techniques, craft, and natural landscapes of her home of Grand-Bassam, Ivory Coast, where she is based. It is Kvadrat’s first collection to include recycled polyester. An ideal piece of those looking to incorporate biophilic design given the delicate, organic irregularities reminiscent of natural surfaces featured on the carpet’s face.

These interesting Kaleidoscope inspired multicolour rugs are made from bamboo silk and linen by hand using the tufting technique. The eclectic and irregular shapes combine together in perfect alignment to create new patterns and reminiscent of a kaleidoscope.

Another great collection to explore if biophilic design is on your list. Arctic 700 is inspired by the symmetric shapes of fascinating ice crystals. Their distinctive, natural, and geometric forms result from a reflection of the processes that create them. Manufactured from ECONYL® yarn, the 100% recycled polyamide from the yarn manufacturer Aquafil, ARCTIC meets the highest of sustainability requirements.

Cecilie Manz takes creativity to a new level with RUGS. By playing with various tufting heights within each design, RUGS get a subtle three dimensional and tactically interesting texture to it. Each rug is hand-tufted in India and coloured with acid-free dye. Not only is this a visually and physically great product, but there’s a social aspect as well. The proceeds from revenue of the Rugs goes towards supporting children’s education in Nepal.
