There are myriad ways to decorate with rugs and simply placing a plain or patterned rug on the floor can change the feel of a room instantly. Legendary interior designer and textiles dealer Robert Kime famously starts his room schemes with a rug, so we should take cues from him and lead from the ground up. Whether you are buying a new rug for your dining room or for underneath your coffee table, this homeware will effect the overall impression of a room just as much as wallpaper will. These rugs have the power to completely transform a living space, so it's strange that the choosing of them is often left to an after thought.
If you pick up any copy of House & Garden, you will likely find the pages filled with beautiful rugs: from thick pile wool rugs and antique Turkish carpets to informal, shaggy Berber rugs, from rustic sisal to ultra-glamorous contemporary designs.
