Our hunt for a new office rug began a few months ago when we noticed that Henry, our cow hide that currently resides on the office floor, was going bald due to the rolling office chairs. With a nearly neutral hued office, I thought the floor covering could use a little color. For me – the lover of all things neutral – to suggest such a thing, shocked my boyfriend at first. I decided a colorful ethnic rug would be perfect for our space. Ethnic rugs (whether Moroccan, Tibetan, Kilim, Oriental or Persian) add a sense of bohmia, nostalgia and warmth to any room. After months of thinking about getting a new rug, I finally put together my inspiration.
Naturally, I am drawn to the graphic ethnic rugs that are grounded with ivory or black. Even though these are very much my style, they won’t add much color to our office. (But it would hide the cat hair quite well). I can’t rule this option out completely.
The purple ethnic rugs with small motifs add richness to the spaces they fill, but this option might be too dark for our office.
I love the pop of color and the grand scale motifs of these red ethnic rugs. They immediately warm up their stark surroundings while keeping the space feeling open and bright.
With any new purchase for the home, the search takes time. I will let you know who Henry’s replacement is once we find them!
