Revamping My Office with a Vintage Rug

May 26, 2020

I’ve been contemplating a change to my office (aka multifunction room) for a while. I thought about repainting the walls (first red, then maybe brown. . . ) or changing out the table but nothing was really clicking for me. Then Revival Rugs reached out about partnering on a project and I suddenly had a vision. Maybe the change I needed was on the floor instead of the walls.

Revival Rugs specializes in one-of-a-kind vintage rugs, with a small team of people in the US and Turkey working directly with artisans and collectors. There are so many beautiful options on the site and I love the “view in my room” feature that lets you upload your photo and test out each rug virtually. (This was so helpful as I was torn between two.)

I chose the Rouslan, a handwoven rug that’s rich in color, because I loved the idea of adding some red but the dark blues and grays work with the walls and adjoining living room. It’s approximately 6×10′ and I was able to layer it over our existing jute rug that’s seen better days. . . And if you’re wondering about mixing in more pattern with a very patterned rug–you can.

I think it’s a good first step. Next, I’m adding a different light–and moving the existing one to another room.

 

Thanks to Revival Rugs for supplying the rug for this post. All opinions are my own.

      I found the framed canvas at a yard sale. It was a big ugly beach print and I spray painted over it. Recently, I just added the black :)
