What to choose? Intricate patterns or simple lines?

Patterns on rug, fabric

Imagine this scenario: You come into the Rug Room looking for a plain colored rug. Why?

Well, your couch has a pattern, your love seat has a slightly different pattern, the armchair is in a contrasting color and the wallpaper and curtains all bring their own unique challenges to the design table. Too many patterns you think. The only solution to this seems to be a plain colored rug with as little pattern as possible.

Find key design elements

In the Rug Room we see this scenario many times and help our customers combine the patterns in their home with a Bunyaad rug that also offers a variety of colors and patterns. Let us show you how.

We start by looking at your fabric swatches, paint samples, floor samples and pictures of the room or anything else that you bring along to help us get a feel for the decor that already exists in your room. Then we take you through the piles to find the rug that compliments the key design elements.

In most cases, you will not go home with a plain colored rug but come back absolutely amazed how a rug, made nearly 1/2 a world away by artisans who have never seen your room, could fit into your space so perfectly.

Our rugs are diverse.

Our rugs are diverse. They are filled with a range of hues and highlights that until you get them into your room you don’t see at first. But these highlights begin to play with the other colors in your room and help to pull everything together.

Moral of the story

Take it home, try it out. If we had a penny for everyone that said “Wow, I never thought I’d get a rug to fit and now look at this!”, we would have quite a penny collection!

Shop online, visit one of our four year-round stores or come to a rug event near you. All of our rug reps will take the time to listen to your design challenges and help you find the rug that is just right for your home.

    A Quilt and a Kazak Living in Perfect Harmony

    Quilt
    When I walked into the home of Gill and Dave my eyes went straight to the quilt on the wall in the living room. I love symmetry and vibrant, yet harmonious color combinations and this quilt was a perfect example showcasing both. What made the quilt stand out even more though was the Tribal Kazak sitting almost underneath as part of a cozy sitting area.

    As an artist, Gill is drawn to handmade, finely crafted products. Even before moving to the US many years ago she had discovered Bunyaad Rugs online and searched our extensive inventory for the perfect rug for her new home. She appreciates how much care is put into each rug and delights in exploring design details and how they will work with her furniture pieces and other art work.

    Modern Chic Meets Timeless Classics

    Rugs at Parade of Homes

    When designing our homes we want the overall effect to be a pleasing whole. The wallpaper shouldn’t fight with the sofa fabric, the styles of furniture shouldn’t compete with each other. You put time, energy and money into creating an authentic space that will be lived in by real people. YOU and your family!

    Modern chic is relatively timeless as the basic design elements change only minimally and translate across decades. This is were Bunyaad rugs come in and add a timeless beauty and individuality that make your home personal and a most comfortable place to live in.

    … or adventures on a rug as Gil Melo recalls childhood memories

    I have been fond of adventures my whole life. I always look forward to face the dangerous and perilous places around the world.

    I have climbed the highest mountains and the deepest seas, visited volcanoes and ran through places full of lava. I’ve flown over numerous canyons and evoked my paleontologist vein into dark caverns.

    But there is nothing more exciting than driving my car along sinuous roads, surrounded by cliffs and snowy lanes prone to avalanches, speeding through deserts and sliding over sand dunes.

    The Dougs Say Goodbye and Farewell Pakistan

    Doug and master designerWe enjoyed a great time in Pakistan. Everywhere we went we met friendly, helpful and incredibly hospitable people. It seemed like everyone wanted to shake our hands and give us a hug. On Sunday afternoon, while touring the old Lahore Fort, a number of people wanted their pictures taken with us. Contrary to what we hear and read in the media about Pakistan, it’s a great place to travel – safe, friendly, hospitable and very scenic.
