Last night, I had the pleasure of visiting with a potential new client whose home looked like something out of Apartment Therapy or a West Elm catalog. The space was perfect- a sunny condo near our parks, with two bedrooms, a large living space filled with French molding, and one of the coolest rugs I’ve ever seen!
Simple in design, yet bold in it’s pattern, the black-and-white striped rug in her nursery/office was a graphic pleasure for the eyes, and I thought about the darn thing all night.
Really, a bold, striped rug can be used in almost any room of the house, and- as evidenced by the photos below- compliments almost any sort of decor.

While large textiles are usually a more expensive change to make to a room, sites like Overstock, Houzz, West Elm, and Target always offer inexpensive options. Personally, my eye is on the 8′ by 10′ Reze Striped area rug for our soon-to-be-finished (I hope) basement family room. Find it here.
Happy striping!
