Rugs fit for the Stars

While the rich and famous recover from the glitz of the Cannes Film Festival, we’d like you to spare a thought for the real star of the show.  The star that appears year after year – reliable, always immaculately presented and the one you can guarantee will get up close and personal to all those Hollywood celebrities.  The one that is always talked about, always photographed and never has any superstar tantrums.  We are of course talking about the prestigious red carpet itself. 

Which got us thinking – not about carpet, not even about Brad Pitt but more importantly, about flooring and in particular, rugs!  Rugs that bring out the star quality in our homes but like the red carpet are very often overlooked.

There are so many fabulous modern rugs available to really add a funky theme to the home, with bold patterns and colour schemes.  Contrast with simple black or white walls and plain furniture and the effects can be striking. Shaggy rugs are very in vogue at the moment.  We especially like the Entropy luxurious shaggy rug from nicerug.co.uk available in bright red – a real stunner.

If these funky rugs are too much, then consider natural rugs, such as jute rugs or sisal rugs for example with their calming tones.  Their simplicity and variation in texture makes them an effective enhancement for any living room or hallway.

In a way rugs should be viewed as ‘art on the floor’ so perhaps we should start looking at our floors in the same way we look at our walls!
