Needing, Wanting, Loving: A Contemporary Area Rug

Today while perusing around the internet for some rug inspiration, I stopped by one of my favorite rug sites of all time- The Rug Company.  I hadn't checked out their site in quite some time, and was immediately impressed by the unique, gorgeous designs gracing their "contemporary area rugs" tab.  I get so tired of seeing the same type of rugs again and again- the chevron patterns, the small medallions, the basic stripe.  Rugs can (and should!) be seen as a work of art that helps to set the mood of your space.  The Rug Company often teams up with design and fashion moguls to create pretty spectacular designs, and I had to share a few of my favorites with you:

{Flaunt by Kelly Wearstler}

{Reflections by Allegra Hicks}

 {Atlantis by Allegra Hicks}

{Hummingbirds by Alexander McQueen}

{Marble by Rodarte}

{Carnival by Paul Smith}

{Ponti Blue by Suzanne Sharp}

{Palette by Fiona Curran}

{Magnolia Black by Vivienne Westwood}

Why not utilize your rug as a piece of art and make it the focal point of your room?  I am dying for that Palette rug by Fiona Curran.
