Kitchen Rugs

February 7, 2016 by Jane F 4 Comments

kitchen rugs - gray and white striped kitchen runner in a white California kitchen - Studio McGee via Atticmag

Kitchen Rugs came into decorative focus after our cocinas exploded into the rest of the house. With open kitchens in the sight lines, kitchen rugs went from purely functional (read often ugly) to consciously stylish. Today, with so many colors, materials and patterns available kitchen rugs often stand alone as accent pieces or coordinate with window treatments, backsplashes … [Read more...]

Vintage but Modern Rugs

Some vintage rugs from the mid-20th century golden age of home design look surprisingly current. That saying “old is new again” is never more true than when it comes to home décor. Revival styles cross oceans and centuries. They are embellished and sampled. And yet, sometimes originals manage to look so fresh and contemporary it’s surprising to learn they are 20 or 50 or even … [Read more...]

Indigo Moroccan Rugs

indigo moroccan rugs - indigo blue flat weave rug - via Atticmag

Indigo Moroccan rugs look dramatic opposite bright whites and are less well known than red rugs from Morocco. Indigo Moroccan rugs are made with dye from the Indigo plant. These are a full bodied, color-soaked variety of royal blue that has been prized in Asia and the Middle east for hundreds of years. In a contemporary home in Italy [top], this contrast is demonstrated with a … [Read more...]

Multi-Purpose Kilim Rugs

kilim rugs - Kilim rug draped over headboard - Sunset Magazine via Atticmag

Kilim rugs can be used in many decorative ways -- over furniture and on other surfaces including floors. In terms of decor adaptability, the most versatile carpets have to be kilim rugs. This flat-woven textile is reversible, making it a great floor covering and pliable enough to use as upholstery.  A fairly lightweight rug, especially in smaller sizes, kilims are tribal … [Read more...]

Vintage Polish Kilim

retro colored vintage polish kilim rugs - Atticmag

Retro colors and artistic composition are uncommon Polish kilim features. I’ve seen a lot of kilim rugs.  Most have the customary tribal motifs and dark colors.  I will admit I’ve never been a fan of flat-woven rugs, especially kilims.  The style has always been a bit too, I don’t know…rustic for my taste, which most would find surprising because my home decor is on the rustic … [Read more...]

Rugs in Morocco

rugs in Morocco - Kilims hanging in the souq at Fez - Atticmag

Our guest blogger shares what she learned on her travels about rugs in Morocco. Meet our pal Brandy O, an intrepid decorator who naturally focused on rugs in Morocco because she sews pillows, bedding, window treatments, and does macho headboard upholstery as well. Brandy has a penchant for French antiques, ice cream, and travel. She lives in Texas with her family and four … [Read more...]

Kilim Rug Pillows

February 19, 2009 by Jane T Leave a Comment

kilim rug pillows - pillow made from flat-woven rug remnants -Tribal Home via Atticmag

Geometric kilim rug pillows are colorful and durable accessories made from repurposed flat-weave rugs. I often see rugs that are too threadbare to warrant investing time or money in to repair so using them for kilim rug pillows makes sense. Flat woven rugs like kilims are particularly susceptible to wear because they do not have a pile, thus the warps are subjected to a lot of … [Read more...]
