Rugs are the heart and soul of any room -- adding texture and pattern. We always begin the design process with the rug. Rugs provide us with colors for the walls, fabrics, art, and accessories. Rugs tell a story about the people that live in each particular room -- a story with as happy an ending as any beginning. Our rug design is based on 18th century Japanese lacquer motifs. We like the lyrical, leafy quality of the pattern; the open field and intertwined branches.
