Rugs for a Neutral Palette


As much as I love color, I do appreciate the value of using texture and neutral colors as a subtle backdrop.  Here are a few rugs that we've created that showcase the beauty of "beige and gray."  Often times, the texture created with raised wool, raised silk or the type of weave such as our new lock weave can be just the ticket in a space where the client is looking for a timeless, classic aesthetic.

Today is the Festival of Colors!

Today is the Festival of Colors, a national holiday in Nepal and India...2 countries where our rugs are produced.  The holiday is also called Festival Holi and has many purposes.  It celebrates spring first and foremost and originally signified fertile land and favorable harvests.  As a way to say farewell to winter, the festival is a time of enjoying spring's beautiful colors.  In addition to this, the holiday commemorates events from Hindu mythology and has a religious purpose.  Today...participants will hold a bonfire, throw colored powder and celebrate in a grand way!

White Tiger

This traditional Nepalese tiger design was custom colored for a client who loves WHITE TIGERS.  It always amazes me how much color can influence a design.
