Anna Spiro’s first rug range is a riot of colour and pattern

October 6, 2020 Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Long time readers will know I’m a big Anna Spiro fan so I’m LOVING her debut rug range with Designer Rugs. If there was ever a time we all needed a little (or even a lot of!) feel good colour in our lives, it’s now!

With over 20 years’ experience in the design industry, Anna is known for her clever use of pattern and colour and her inherent ability to create unique, comfortable and awe-inspiring environments that people want to linger in. With a bestselling book and a successful textile range under her belt, she has now turned her attention towards creating this beautiful collection of handmade rugs.

Consisting of two hand-tufted and two hand-knotted rugs, the collection is a feast for the eyes, featuring an eclectic yet elegant mix of floral motifs, striking geometrics, and joyful patterns. Each design was thoughtfully created to work seamlessly in a variety of spaces, from traditional to modern, minimalist to maximalist.

“I wanted to create a collection that reflected our love of pattern and colour, but one that also offered a mix of style options,” says Anna. “As an example, Ziggy works to add colour to a space but is a more plain, modern design which is perfect when put back with lots of patterned upholstery. Whereas Kandilli is very patterned and would look amazing with plain upholstery.”

For each design to look its best, Designer Rugs has incorporated two different techniques to create this collection – a first for the brand. Geometric designs Ziggy and Otto are hand-tufted – a technique which creates clean lines and sharp edges. Floral designs Kandilli and Flora are hand-knotted, which has a more handmade feel and creates a softer finish.

“Something I am really passionate about is that things of quality take a very long time to produce. You must be willing to wait for something made by hand that will last and stand the test of time,” Anna adds.

All three designs can be custom sized, shaped and coloured to suit any interior.

This family home is next level. Literally! A stee This family home is next level. Literally!

A steeply sloping block isn't a typical prerequisite when building a new home. But it was for Perth architect Sam Klopper and his family who desired an elevated balcony (hello roof terrace!) AND a back yard that was accessed from the living area. And wow, they sure made the best of it!

Take the tour on the homepage now. Via link in bio.

We've entered an exciting phase in our home: non-s We've entered an exciting phase in our home: non-synthetic rug land!

With two young boys, I've always advocated for the synthetic and easily scrub-cleanable rug! Now they're a bit older and observing the shoes-off and no-food-in-the-living-room rules, I thought it was time! And I'm in love with our bold new @castleryau Lorenzo Wool Rug.

You can't beat the luxurious look and feel of wool and I've also stepped outside my comfort zone with a design that stands out rather than blends in. Get me!

Can someone remind the kids about the keep-the-toys-in-the-playroom rule though?!

Would you be brave enough to go for a cream wool rug in your house?!

This rug is on display at Castlery's popup at Moore Park SupaCenta until October.

And all the other cost-saving tricks I used as well as everything featured with links, on the blog today.

Our bedroom isn't perfect. A bed under the window isn't ideal. We don't have a walkin robe. It's a slightly awkward shape. But I really feel I've made the best of it and love its fresh new look and feel!

So glad to swap the carpet for laminate too. Are you team carpet or team hard floor in a bedroom? Please comment carpet or hard floor below!

With thanks to the cammellia hedge for fitting the colour palette perfectly 🤗😆
