Calypso Rugs

One of my go-to resources for chic affordable area rugs is Calypso St. Barth.  They have a wonderful selection of pieces in warm neutrals and cool blues.  Plus, the sizes span from a tiny 2 x 3 to a whopping 11 x 18!  Seriously.  A fabulously chic 11 x 18 rug that you can order off the internet!  Where else can you do that?  I love this shop.

Here are my favorite rugs...

Designer tip: layer one of the colorful ikats (or geometric prints) over a larger neutral jute.  By layering a colorful 5 x 8 rug over something larger like a 9 x 12 neutral jute, you can create instant interest in your living room.  And all the color is concentrated on the smaller 5 x 8...  so, if you want to change the colors of your living room down the road, it's a simple switch of a 5 x 8 rug (rather than investing in another large 9 x 12).
