Hallway Rugs

December 14, 2010 by Jane T Leave a Comment

hallway rugs - colorful striped hallway runner from Hanrahan Meyers Architects via Atticmag

Take function and layout into consideration when selecting hallway rugs and runners. When it comes to choosing hallway rugs and runners the dilemma is: one long runner or two?  The usual concern is that one rug will create a bowling alley effect; two or three rugs will look choppy.  The answer lies in the style and decor of your home and the function and layout of your … [Read more...]

Rugs in Work Spaces

rugs in work spaces - wide stripe black and white rug in home office from Phoebe Howard - via Atticmag

Rugs can help create distinctive work spaces, especially in home offices. One trouble with home offices is that these modern work spaces can lack charm. Often furniture is a hodge podge mix of what's available and there's little attention paid to creating a comfortable and attractive place to do taxes, day trade or simply tend to household bills. In my mind, an attractive rug … [Read more...]

Vintage Carpets, Comfy Chaises

vintage carpets - Worn oriental rug with chaise lounge and screen from Frank Faulkner via Atticmag

Comfy chaises on vintage carpets are perfect companions for cozy corners in any house. There’s something special about colors in vintage carpets. I love lounging on a chaise and looking out on all the colors.

My dream home would be a fishing camp like this one, rustic but wonderfully accessorized Here in the northeast United States, the end of May ushers in beach house season and the beginning of July heralds the opening of fishing camp houses. This rustic, back-to-nature style emerged during the late 1800s in New York’s Adirondack mountains and along the rivers and lakes of New … [Read more...]

Cut-Down Heirloom Rug

heirloom rug - antique Senneh rug showing signs of severe wear - Atticmag

Every so often someone brings me an heirloom rug that is so worn its usability is in doubt. Each time, I’m asked the same question about an Oriental heirloom rug: “Can you do anything for it?”  If you or someone you know has a rug in, or near, this condition there are options available that may surprise you. Many people like to use small intact sections to make pillows or … [Read more...]

America’s Oriental Rug

Karastan - machine made rug with the design clearly shown on the back - Atticmag

Karastan Rug Mills introduced machine-made Oriental rugs to America. Nestled among my stack of rug books is a booklet from the 1933-34 Chicago World’s Fair. It was a promotional piece for Karastan Rug Mills to publicize their entry The “Wonder Rug of America,” a machine-made Oriental reproduction.  I came upon it the other day and as I started flipping the pages, I found … [Read more...]
