Adding elements to a room can start with your floor... I love seeing texture and color in a room from the ground up.
Working with clients that love to experiment always makes me happy... Have fun with design. Don't always add just 1 rug... Add 2!
Working with older rugs...
Especially Persians can be a great conversation starter.{oh my where did you get this? how old is this rug? love the colors... etc.!} Layering adds warmth to a room as well. Having a flat room can be boring!
Just try it... You might like it!
