Today we’re delighted to share a post from Rugs Direct. Here at Roller Blinds Direct, we’ve a penchant for all things vintage, so we were excited to discover Rugs Direct’s wonderful blog about retro-inspired rugs. We were also particularly pleased to find that many of Rugs Direct’s products are the perfect match for our very own roller blinds, which we’ll tell you about at the end of the post.

Let’s pass things over to Rugs Direct!

Are Vintage Rugs Having a New Year Renaissance?

If there’s one area of interior design that’s been a firm favourite in recent months, it’s vintage. From classic television sets to quirky 60s-style furniture, the vintage aesthetic seems set to get even bigger in 2015. In fact, vintage rugs are one area of design that have already been gaining traction – particularly with our customers here at Rugs Direct.

Young Urbanite Beetle Green Rug

If you’re looking to add a touch of 60s inspired chic to any room in your house, you can’t go wrong with this Young Urbanite Beetle Green vintage rug. Manufactured by well-known rug maker Louis De Poortere, this rug is made from the finest wool and chenille on wilton jacquard looms. This adds a subtle intricacy to a pattern which is already instantly eye-catching. This is a vintage rug that will bring true life and vitality to a room.

Multi Black & White Vintage Rug

Another rug from renowned designer Louis de Poortere, this Multi Black & White vintage rug takes us to the other end of the colour spectrum. Featuring a flatweave pile for a thinner yet more hard-wearing pile, the rug is a real exploration of details. Hemmed edges draw focus to the individual patterns on each of the squares that make up this vintage rug – giving it a unique ‘multiple personality’.

Heriz Perisian Pink Vintage Rug

Does this vintage rug even need any introduction? A real explosion of hot pink colour, it’s understandable that a design like this Heriz Perisian Pink vintage rug won’t fit every home. However, for the right person and in the right context, this beautiful pink vintage rug can really make an impression. A durable design with a 5mm flatweave pile, the vintage rug includes a hand-sewn finish for that extra personal touch that other vintage rugs can’t match.

We love the vintage rugs that Rugs Direct have featured. If you’re planning on sprucing up your home with some stylish new floor coverings this year, be sure to make your window dressings match! We recommend pairing the Young Urbanite Beetle Green rug with our Global Bermuda Blackout roller in cream; this classic, simple blind in a neutral shade will really allow the rich green rug to ‘pop’. If monochrome is more your bag, opt for our Sunlover Alfie Leaf Blackout blind in charcoal, which bears an uncanny resemble to Rugs Direct’s Multi Black & White vintage rug. And if the Heriz Perisian Pink rug has caught your attention, choose our Decora Fabric Box Elise Peony design, which boasts a stylish floral design upon a deep grey background – the perfect match to a bright pink rug.
