The feeling of spring: Touchable textures

A thoughtful mix of textures is key to creating a home that feels warm, balanced and inviting. Texture is what gives a room dimension, and even the most minimal spaces rely on it. Whether your style skews modern and Scandinavian-inspired with clean lines and colors, or leans maximalist with layered textiles and vibrant color, texture is what makes a room come alive. 

One of the most impactful ways to introduce texture into your home is through a rug. As the literal foundation of a room, a rug sets the tone for how everything else shows up. It grounds furniture, defines areas and pulls disparate elements together into a unified whole. Not to mention the cozy, tactile quality that transforms the way the space feels, especially underfoot. 

Our latest designs are brimming with these kinds of touchable, textured details. From subtle variations in pile height to nubby weaves, each rug is crafted to bring character and comfort to your space. Here, we’ll introduce you to our newest lineup and explore the distinct textures that make each one so special — so you can find the ideal piece for this season and beyond. 

Hand-loomed from a resilient blend of wool and nylon, Finn brings together softness and strength in equal measure. Its looped construction creates gentle, raised stripes that offer a refined high-low effect—one that is subtle in pattern, yet rich in dimension. Up close, heathered flecks add natural variation and depth, giving the surface a lived-in warmth while cleverly disguising the wear of everyday life.

How to style Finn: Finn’s understated ribbing and subtle color palette make it a versatile anchor for nearly any aesthetic. In a busy family room, pair it with plush upholstery and warm wood tones to highlight its cozy texture. In a more minimalist space, let its quiet stripes add movement as the solo pattern.

Crafted from soft wool and rich in dimension, Beckett is a study in inviting texture. It pairs a fluffy wool roving yarn with nubby bouclé yarn, creating a tactile interplay that feels both airy and substantial underfoot. The effect is reminiscent of handwoven baskets—organic, layered and full of character. Beckett is now available in a new Marled Grey colorway for a nuanced, heathered take on a classic neutral palette.

How to style Beckett: Beckett is ideal for grounding a room filled with soft neutrals, where its mix of yarns will bring subtle contrast. Layer it into a cabin or mountainside escape alongside plaid textures, dark-stained woods and earthy tones to amplify its cozy, organic appeal.

Handwoven into a springy, bauble-like construction, Dakota is a celebration of all things tactile. Its chunky loops create a knubby, dimension design that feels plush and buoyant underfoot, warming up any space in an instant.

How to style Dakota: Dakota shines in the spaces where comfort matters most—think bedrooms, living rooms and cozy reading corners. Pair it with richly textured materials like rattan, velvet and linen, then layer in natural woods or sleek marble for contrast. The mix of materials will make the entire room feel dynamic and inviting, with Dakota anchoring it all in soft warmth.

Plush and richly luminous, Astra is designed to make an impression. Its surface plays with high-low carving, pairing flatwoven lines with a velvety pile to create a striking grid motif that feels both graphic and indulgent. As light moves across the rug, the lustrous fibers subtly shift in tone, revealing new depth and dimension from every angle. The result? A statement piece that balances modern structure with undeniable softness.

How to style Astra: Lean into Astra’s glamorous side by pairing it with bold, Art Deco-inspired silhouettes and sculptural furniture. Deep jewel tones—think emerald, sapphire and deep red—will amplify its richness, which accents in chrome or brass echo its luminous sheen.
