6 Bold Carpets That Deserve the Spotlight
Carpets play a pivotal role in defining rooms, bridging distinct areas, and enhancing aesthetics and functionality simultaneously. Whether through striking patterns, vibrant hues, or unexpected textures, a bold rug can transform a space, anchoring the design while infusing it with personality and depth. We gathered six of our boldest carpet designs that showcase exceptional craftsmanship and style.
Colorful Collectors Abode
The living room of our Colorful Collectors Abode project is brimming with color and grounded by a marvelously abstract and vibrant custom rug by Mischa Kahn. Thoughtfully chosen hues seamlessly informed the surrounding furniture and accent pieces, enhancing the room’s dynamic energy. In expansive open spaces, a bold carpet adds visual intrigue and serves as a unifying element, effortlessly bridging distinct areas with cohesion and style.
Central Park South
The smoke-hued office of Central Park South is grounded by a custom carpet from Fort Street Studio. The abstract rug, hand-knotted in deep midnight blue with accents of gold, enhances the room’s moody ambiance while echoing the vibrant marigold touches found throughout the space. The carpet brings a sophistication and softness that balances the inky depth of the design, combining drama and refinement.
Penthouse In the Sky
In the tranquil primary bedroom of our Penthouse in the Sky project, a custom Stark carpet enhances the sense of comfort and serenity. Bold in its scale, the carpet spans the room’s full length and carries into the primary suite hallway. Its muted tones evoke the calm feeling present throughout the home’s design and echo the sky beyond with a subtle nod to the shapes and formations of the clouds. Its plush surface adds a layer of softness underfoot while seamlessly uniting the seating area and bed, fostering cohesion and balance throughout the space.
West Village Penthouse
In our West Village Penthouse project, a hand-knotted inset runner from Alt for Living makes a striking visual impact while enhancing functionality. The high-contrast pattern draws the eye, subtly guiding foot traffic through the space. The runner’s bold use of black contrasts against the hallway’s warm, neutral palette, creating a dynamic combination of warm and cool, soft and dark tones. The patterned rug not only breaks up the visual elements in the space but also effortlessly conceals everyday wear in the high-traffic area.
Winter Retreat
The living room of our Winter Retreat exudes a warm and understated elegance with its tonal sandy palette and pops of blue. A geometric rug from Beauvais Carpets anchors the space; its natural jute weave showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. The soft, organic forms within the rug mirror the silhouettes of the surrounding sofas, light fixture, and coffee table, sitting well with the tone, texture, and shapes within the space.
Uptown Eclectic
In the playroom of our Uptown Eclectic project, a whimsical yet sophisticated aesthetic comes to life, anchored by a vibrant CC Tapis rug designed by CTRLZAK Studio. The rug strikes a perfect balance between creativity and refinement, featuring rich gold tones that tie into the room’s playful palette. Inspired by a fusion of European and Tibetan rug-making traditions, it adds a dynamic visual element while maintaining versatility.
