Are you as obsessed with rugs as we are? In searching for an 8' x 10' neutral Turkish Oushak or similar style rug for a client, I came up with these beauties.
This rug from Dering Hall is priced at $27,000. I know it is probably truly amazing and authentically vintage, but it is our job to help our clients get what they want within their own budget.
We do believe in spending your major decorating dollars on less trendy things that will last you a lifetime, and this rug could certainly be worthy of that. But, with stealth shopping skills, like we prize ourselves to have, we can find you awesome rugs at a fraction of the cost, like these here:
This one from Shades of Light is $5899.00 for an 8 x 10. Here's one from Garnet Hill for $2998.
This 6'x 12' from Shades of Light is 50 % off at the moment at $2100.
Ebay and Etsy have alot of choices like this one from WeMakeRugs, 8' x 10' for $999.
Rugs are like art for floors.
Well-made rugs with timeless designs are keepsakes for generations in your household. They save your carpets and floors, add warmth, layers and pattern to your decor, and extra sound proofing, not to mention color and sophistication.
Don't forget to start with a design plan first to avoid buying mistakes!
Those are lovely!!! I would be so terrified to walk on a $27,000 rug. And with our doggies - no way! Hope you had an awesome time at the beach! Welcome back - xo
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I also recently saw some really nice ones on One King's Lane. They're not known for their low prices but these are shockingly affordable.
ReplyDeleteGreat range of options Nancy! Your clients are lucky to have you on their team to give great advice like these. :-)

I actually love your less expensive finds better! I am sure your client is thrilled!
ReplyDeleteRugs are such a bastard for me. I find tons I like, but they are always so expensive! These are great finds!!
ReplyDeleteI invested in several pricey rugs about 15 years ago and have never been sorry.
ReplyDeleteWhen Bruce came to rescue us, I had to pull them up- they were too attractive to his taste buds.
He damaged one but I salvaged it by having the fringe removed. Replacements with sturdy indoor/outdoor rugs was my answer, but I'm hoping to bring the old ones back in by fall.
The biggest lesson I learned in shopping for rugs was to always bring them home on approval.
It's amazing how the colors change in your home. I know you'll find the perfect rug for your clients. :)
A fabulous rug really sets the stage for a wonderfully designed room! There are also so many great sources now!

I love to use rugs as a jumping off point to a design plan! I'm currently arguing with myself over what type of rug to put in my dining room. I'm thinking I might do sea grass for its easy care and low cost. I'm a practical girls sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI want to utilize mats as a bouncing off point to a configuration plan! I'm as of now contending with myself over what kind of mat to put in my lounge area. I'm supposing I may do ocean grass for its simple mind and ease. I'm a reasonable young ladies frequently. sharafiandco.com
