“Artisan produced from natural and renewable resources such as wool, silk, and cotton,
W Studio carpets are truly “art for the fifth wall.” What a great quote and how true! We sometimes spend too much time thinking about the walls when in fact, the floor is the first large area you may notice when you walk in. And how can it not be when you could see something like this amazingly beautiful area rugs.

There are many great findings and tips I want to share with you today, so let’s get started:
Do’s:
1. Look for an area rug right when you just planted the seeds of your interior design theme, and work around it. Or simply- choose a color inspiration.
2. Decide which feature will be stronger: the floor or the wall(s) and make your decision obvious for anyone entering the room. You could also opt for all surfaces to be tone on tone with subtle color transitions, make sure to choose the color tones carefully (there are warm and cold hues of each color and mixing them is sometimes a balancing act :))
3. When wool & silk are masterfully intertwined, the result could be truly spectacular. Ensure to see the rug (or images of it) from all directions as the look will amaze you!
4. Have fun selecting the perfect rug! When it comes to kids rooms, sky is the limit, you could forget about the color you originally hand in mind, you will get so many ideas by visiting an inspiring area rug showroom like ModernWeave in Toronto!
Don’ts:


or nature inspired by area rugs like the pebbles rug from 2 Form- must be really comortable to sit on!
3. Don't try to visually chop an open space- go for visual continuity. When having an open condo space it’s sometimes hard to keep a fluid layout and not have a clear separation, especially when the living area and dining area are not clearly separated (some of you have actually opted for having the dining area furnished as part of the living area too). Not sure where exactly should you place it? have fun with it!
Lacy and Racy is a vinyl laser cut area rug resembling intricate patterns and shapes (the flowerlike Soufi actually incorporates eight individual rugs which can be used separately)
When travelling look for local artisans and at least get details about how they make each rug- I was amazed to see how much manual labour goes into making one rug.

Most area rug retailers offer the option of having a custom rug size with custom colors! So if you have already started your design and are searching to complete the look with an area rug, look for stores where they will create a one of a kind area rug for you.
An area rug is not something you buy every season, so investing in a good QUALITY area rug can be a smart investment.
