Starting the week with some interior design for a change. Whenever I post glimpses of my two kilim rugs (above) on Instagram I get lots of questions asking where they’re from. Truth is that they’re both a few decades old and spent most of their time at my family’s former cottage. I scored huge when I discovered them rolled up in storage! They suit the old time charm and very worn pine flooring throughout our house perfectly. They’re also super easy to maintain (aka shedding corgi friendly).
While I was researching interiors for another post I came across several look-a-likes from Urban Outfitters, West Elm and Anthropologie so I thought I’d share the sources in case you’re in the market for a fresh graphic area rug!

I love the tribal, geometric feel of all these patterns. Our walls, trim, doors and closet storage is all white so the pattern adds energy and life to the room without being overkill. To me they feel timeless, welcoming and just homey enough to make a room feel lived in. With a thin no-slip under pad they stay in place but are easy to relocate without a hassle. The dark one is Dobby’s favourite too.

I’ve also found some really great kilim rugs at our local antique market so be sure to scope out one near you for a potentially vintage and authentic version at a great price!
Have a good Monday folks!
Super cute rugs!
My mom has rugs that came with my family from Europe… I can’t wait to have them someday!
Have a great week Lee!
Oh that’s awesome! Rugs are like art. They can totally transform a space. I’m sure your mum has some beauties! xo
I love these aztec inspired rugs- makes me want to move out to Palm Springs or some desert to have fun with these patterns!
