Interior Design Insider: Natasha Rivera’s Top 5 Rug Recommendations

My top 5 rug styles all include options that can apply to various interior design aesthetics. Cormac in Oatmeal and Tashi in Stone are two styles that add both softness and dimension to any space, while also infusing an element of elevated cozy to a bedroom, living room — or anywhere that could use a soft underfoot feel.

Although Sloane is a newer style, its unique pattern and elegant color choices have quickly become one of my favorite go-to ways to add a more tailored look to a bedroom, office or other intimate area of the home.

Rugs are the foundation to a room’s design, and while we focus a lot on color and aesthetic, the feel of a rug and how it fits into your life are also important things to consider. If you’re in the market for something super soft and relaxed, plush styles like Calamus and Cora are popular choices that make great additions to bedrooms and living spaces.

Clients also tend to gravitate toward our indoor/outdoor styles for easy-to-maintain options that can withstand wear and tear from the elements along with high traffic. Styles like Marci Salt and McCannon are adored because they don’t resemble the traditional outdoor style, while still being beautiful, low-maintenance and right for the space. 

A rug can easily transform and revitalize your home. Add light and freshen up a room, pull existing decor together or add a personal touch to your space. A rug is the foundation to it all.
