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…

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
Following! What a gorgeous idea – love everything. And I stayed at El Fenn the first time I went to Marakech on a shoot with Red, totally amazing. Look forward to seeing you on the 14th! xx
Thank you Alex! Yes, El Fenn is so gorgeous. Loved your pics from your recent trip to Marrakech too. Such a special place. See you on the 14th – really looking forward to it 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!

Sadly I was away with work, so wouldn't have got away with bringing back 6 rugs ;( 🙁 how I wish I had, now! x
