An entire room can change with one simple tool–a rug. Don’t believe us? Step into the home of our latest collaborator, Arvin Olano, for a case study in dramatic transformations. We’ll walk you through three iterations of his actual living room, featuring a different rug each time. In each photo, you’ll notice that the only major change is the rug–yet the room has a completely different vibe in every one.
In a recent conversation with Arvin, he explained, “Rugs are so important in a space because they can completely change the mood.” And as you’ll see in the following series, he’s totally right!
Crisp & Clean Aesthetic
In this first snapshot, Arvin’s living room feels particularly crisp, clean, and contemporary. The Marble Striped Wool-Blend Rug plays off the surrounding furniture and décor for a very modern, minimalist vibe.
Featuring subtle stripes, a natural fiber construction, and the slightest touch of asymmetry, this piece is the epitome of an elevated neutral–which only adds to the already elevated nature of this space. The multi-toned rug paired with the natural light streaming in gives the room a bright and airy look that’s sure to feel fresh everyday.
