New Rug * Beautiful Living Room

The rug arrived today at my client's home. It is a custom design of hand knotted wool with silk highlights. It is beautiful, if I say so myself. Getting the opportunity to design a rug for a client is such a joy. When the end result is this wonderful it is a dream come true. Thank you Prajol. Your work is amazing.

 The rug is 9 X 12. The overall design is a combination of wide stripes with a damask pattern on top. The damask is outlined in silk.

 The living room includes this beautiful buffet from Hickory Chair. I love the metal detail on the doors. They give this traditional piece a very current look.

 The wide stripes of the rug are tan and silver grey. The damask is a soft shade of blue with a khaki green outline.

 The window treatments are a soft strie silk from Kravet.

 A Kravet Couture fabric covers this updated wing chair from Hickory Chair.

A French bergere chair, already owned by my client is covered in a Isaac Mizrahi fabric from Fabricut.

 
 The new rug works beautifully with the Custom Kravet sofa covered in a ribbed, grey fabric.

A mix of Designer Guild fabrics cover the dining chairs and sofa pillows. The color palette of the living room flows easily into the dining room. The blue chandelier and red lamps continue the palette through the space.

Custom Rugs * It's In the Details

An area rug is often the element of a room that sets the tone for the design.To make sure a rug is just right I will design the rug  myself and have it hand knotted by craftsmen in Nepal. The quality of the rug is outstanding and the pattern and colors are always exactly what I want for my client.

This living room rug was designed in shades of gray with accents of lavender and khaki. It is hand knotted in wool with highlights of silk. A wonderful element in a beautiful room.

The hand knotting creates amazing detail in the pattern.

I designed and had this wool rug crafted for the family room of  The Cardinal Glennon Hospital Showhouse.
I call it Flower Power.  Since it is a custom design I was able to select and use the exact colors I wanted in the room.

This is a dining room rug in wool. The center lattice pattern has a small floral detail. The custom selected color palette creates a paisley border that is a perfect element in the room.

Attention to detail is what make a design wonderful. Designing a rug gives me the opportunity to take the details and create something amazing.
