10 Statement Rugs We Love

WORDS Michaela Stehr


There’s just something about the feel of plush pile underfoot. We love these traditional and contemporary rugs. Rugs are your best option for introducing warmth, softness, texture and splashes of colour to a room without committing to a wall-to-wall carpet. Even one striking rug, with either a classic or modern design, can update your decor and create a cosy atmosphere. Here are 10 bold options.
