This one never gets old for me.  They introduce new colors every year and the fact that it can be a recliner and still look like a Parisian club chair, I absolutely love!

“The One” Area Rugs

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Why is it that when you are looking for something, it mysteriously eludes you?

I thought it would be fun to start a recurring blog entry that involved the search for the elusive design element that will essentially pull a room together.  It seemed fitting to base it on our long-standing quest for a mate!

Here are some great links to fabulous, eye-catching rugs!

This one is from a wonderful store in downtown St. Louis, called Atom!

They have lots more floral inspired mod rugs to choose from online!

Here is a great choice from Pottery Barn.  Neutral, nice scale, would go with almost any style!

WS Home has the zebra rug market cornered!

This is available in both black & chocolate & would complete almost any room!

Keep checking back for more additions to “the one” series!

I’d love to hear what design pieces you are trying to locate!
