When decorating your home, I would bet that you give the least amount of attention to your floors. You agonize about wall colors for hours, blinds, curtains, and where to hang your art. But when it comes to floors, you either live with what you have or choose to replace your floors with newer versions of what you have.
I realize that this may not be true for every home, but given the price of flooring, whether it’s hardwood, tile, or carpeting most people play it safe. This can be a great choice. However, neutral-colored quality flooring should be treated as a blank canvas.
One of the most dramatic ways to treat this “canvas” is with area rugs. You certainly can shop at a house wares store and there’s always a furniture store somewhere going out of business hawking Orientals at blow-out deal. But if you want something truly special, I advise you to consider Tibetan wool rugs. These handmade works off art are made from high quality wool. I have an amazing supplier who sells 80 knot and 100 knot rugs. There’s a nice discussion of the history of Tibetan rugs on the blog Oriental and Tibetan Rugs: http://1000sofrugs.com/Oriental-Rugs/.
I own several of these beauties and have decorated many homes with them. Tibetans come in an amazing array of sizes and patterns. I like them better than traditional Turkish and Orientals because I find may of the designs to be more contemporary.
The rugs I want to share with you today are striped. They are all the same style but each rug has 10 different colors in it making each rug look different. Through my supplier I can even have a rug custom-designed for you.

How to decorate with a Tibetan rug
First, remember Tibetan rugs are more than comfy floor coverings.
Use a rug as a back drop for furnishings, window coverings, etc.
Use the rug as a color anchor and pull out one or two colors to create a color theme or tie a room with many different elements together.
Think big. You want a rug to fill a space. It’s o.k. to put a rug over wall-to-wall carpet as an accent piece. Consider it as an investment. The design value of these rugs is that they are so complex and well made that the same rug in two different rooms or different houses will look like new pieces.
