Cold floors

Wall-to-wall carpets are delightful for padding barefoot through the house on a cold evening.   But I really prefer something I can pick up and clean beneath.

The solution?   Area rugs.


For years I used handwoven Mexican wool rugs from Queretaro and Michoacan.   As I grew older, my choices became more classic ones.   Currently, a copy of a Persian carpet in deep, rich blue takes pride of place.

There's a world of beautiful area rugs at Novica, from Indian dhurries to Brazilian sisal to rattan and banana bark.   Something for every space I could ever create.   What fun!
