Affordable interiors: Rugs

Life - By Alexandra Stedman
Images from Pinterest – follow my boards here

After 4 long years, we’re finally at the stage of replacing the old carpets from our flat and restoring the wood floors. There’s something about a rug that really transforms a room, and now I’m really regretting not picking up one in Marrakech (although realistically – how would I have brought it back home with my Easyjet luggage allowance?!).

My dream rug is from current favourite homewares store, West Elm – the Berber or Benni style rugs are to die for. But I really can’t spend much more than £200, so thought I’d put together a little collage of the best rugs out there for under £200:

1. ‘Kasbah’ wool rug, from £169, West Elm
 
2. ‘Euphrates’ rug, 152cm x 213cm, £75, Urban Outfitters
 
3. ‘Kelim’ rug, 140cm x 200cm, £99, Holly’s House
 
4. ‘Origins’ rug, from £133, Debenhams
 
5. Diamond print rug, £149, Bloomingville at Amara
 
6. ‘Alvine Ruta’ rug, £150, Ikea
 
7. Chenille bordered rug (they had a really similar one in my room
in Soho House, Istanbul, recently), from £60, Next
 
8. ‘Belle’ rug, from £150, Plantation Rug Company and Rockett St George
 
9. ‘Aztec’ wool rug, from £150, Rockett St George
I’m also quite partial to a sheepskin rug, throw. I’m looking forward to creating a cosy area in the loft, where I can curl up with a good book…
Rug, £159, Wanderlustwares
Sheepskin throw, £55, Rockett St George

    Urban Outfitters have really upped their game when it comes to interiors! Great picks. My friend totally bought a pouf back from Morocoo, it was her one intention of going, hah!

      I am loving UO lately – and might need to go back to marrakech just to buy a rug – the flight will work out with the saving, right?!

    Hi Alex,

    Agree that a rug can totally transform a living space. In July edit58.com is launching and will stock a range of vintage rugs from Morocco along with blankets, throws, cushion and baskets – All at really reasonable prices. Hopefully you'll love our stuff. In advance of our launch we'd love it if you followed along on our journey on Instagram (@edit.58). Hope your new loft space is coming together too. Look forward to seeing you at your Fenwicks event. Kind regards, Lisa x

    Hi Alex we actually brought back 6 rugs from Morocco one year care of Easyjet luggage allowance! It actually works out cheaper than posting back. The things you do!
