Living, Etc: Rugs from the World’s Best Homes

"This cozy living room from interior designers Stelly Selway is all about the moody color. From charcoal on the wall to dark shades of brown, the room is a total cocoon for snuggling down on an autumn evening. I love the rug here because it looks a bit worn, loved, and works with the vintage coffee table to help you feel that this room has been here over the years, waiting to envelop you.

We're seeing a lot of Persian-inspired rugs with a faded pattern, and it gives a sense of cozy luxury, while a typically bold pattern of a Persian rug doesn't have to interfere with the rest of your interiors. Persian rugs are also mostly red, so the blueish palette exhibited here gives it a further twist."
