Rugs: warm ambience

DRESSING UP YOUR FLOORS

Rugs are a wonderful way to make a design statement or just to add warmth and ambience to a room. Whether you plump for a bold pattern or an understated plain, a rug can transform a stark room into an inviting and cosy living space.

The Capas collection by Mathias Hahn for Nanimarquina layers carefully selected colours, tones and shadow to create a deep and intense effect that suits any kind of living space. The designer wanted to evoke a simple and casual feel, using a combination of complex colours by developing, with Nanimarquina’s team of experts, a new type of loose kilim which could best showcase the depth of the collection’s colours and tones (www.nanimarquina.com).

The Sisal Line Rope collection from Naturtex comprises high-quality sisal rope and is available in three natural tones, ideal for a minimalist or contemporary space. Naturtex is available through Diana Dominique in Pol. Ind. Nueva Campana 54 in Nueva Andalucía (www.dianadominque.com).

The new Gong from Serge Lesage is hand-knotted and made from 100 per cent New Zealand wool. Its honey colour adds a softness to the dynamic abstract pattern (www.sergelesage.com).
