Jute Rug

October 5th, 2009


I threw the jute TÅRNBY rug I picked up at Ikea in the living room. The cowhide that was here before ended up in the bedroom.

I like this big Ikea jute rug so far. I think I might want to layer it with a kilim or a white cowhide to break up all the brown naturalness that’s happening.

Like so perhaps…

Or like this, which we’ve all seen – but with way less zebra and expensive beni ouarain rugs…

      I'm really liking the texture the jute adds; I think layering would be brilliant.

      We hadn't seen the living room for a while, it looks rad now!!!
      Is that a new *brass* floor lamp? It looks cute from here.

      Hi Morgan, how are you? Been meaning to email you as our blog watch article has been postponed till the next edition so apologies, I won't have it on PDF till then, prob around Xmas. This often happens apparently but it will def be in the next one.
      I'm having a competition on my site – open to EU and US (too expensive to deliver elsewhere) – a fab hamper to be won, even if i say it myself

      I've got one myself and absolutely love it…my one gripe is that once you spill something on it you've got a stain for life. The stains often fade, but I find myself layering more to cover them up than anything else!

      Did the Tarnby get banished to the wasteland? I don’t think I’ve seen it in the recent posts. Did it not hold up well?

      I JUST picked up my very own Tarnby rug today and am soo stocked about it! Came across this post just browsing how others are using their rugs and came across your page. Love the layering idea, may give that a whirl. Also, where did you get that hanging light? I saw something simliar before in pictures that was clear but that exact shape!
