Mark D Sikes Rugs
If you’re into interior design or just the fashion world at large, you may have heard of Mark D. Sikes, but did you know he’s also a blogger, a magician, a tech tinkerer and a writer? He has also collaborated with some of the best manufacturers in the business, including Dash & Albert, where he’s created a line of designer rugs. While he has a knack for displaying style, his rooms always seem fresh and clean, without being sterile. The best part is that he lets you take a peek inside his home!
In order to help you pick the best rug for your space, the seasoned interior designer has assembled a guide. His recommendations are divided into several categories: colors, materials, patterns, sizes and styles. Some of the best designer rugs on the market are hand knotted, while others are available as woven or hooked rugs. Depending on your preferences, you may be looking for something that’s modern or classic, vintage or new, or a combination of all three. Whatever your taste, you’ll find the perfect design for your home.
For instance, there’s the low-profile blue and ivory wool jacquard weave rug. This rug is both reversible and features a blue and ivory design inspired by antique Kasuri indigo weaving. A nice touch is the high-quality cotton backing. It’s a good choice for a high-traffic area.
In the field of interior design, there’s nothing quite like a classic chinoiserie rug, but if your budget doesn’t stretch that far, you might want to consider an alternative, such as a sisal, jute or seagrass rug. All of these types of rugs offer a nice soft feel, while offering the advantage of anti-stain properties. They are also great for use in areas where you’re likely to walk around. You might even want to include one in the bedroom!
For the sake of time and space, we’ll skip the most mundane of all rugs, such as those from Ikea, and stick to the best of the best. Whether you’re in the market for a new dining room table, a carpet for your foyer or a new rug for the living room, you’ll be sure to find something to suit your tastes. Plus, you can buy limited-stock rugs in a matter of days!
