Oriental Rugs Beyond the Living Room
Traditional Rugs Create a Classic Look in Unexpected Places by Lily Gahagan
Oriental rugs are a stalwart of the living room, study and den. It's a look I love, (heck, my own living room has one!), but in less likely environs, the rugs are equally if not more compelling. Consider throwing a rich rug of reds and blues down in the kitchen, bedroom, even the bathroom, for a classic look in an unexpected setting.
