Rugs latest: Our favourite new styles

By Amy Collins-Walker •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

It’s been a while between rug round-ups here which is a shame really because, like any great accessory, a stylish rug does much to complete a room. From scalloped jute to restored vintage Persian iterations, here’s our pick of the latest and most fabulous rugs to hit the market.

Pampa: Byron Bay based brand Pampa’s latest collection ‘Eclipse’ is inspired by the Bauhaus art movement while paying homage to the universal symbols of the sun and moon. Produced ethically and sustainably, by skilled Argentinean tradespeople, when purchasing a Pampa rug you plant five trees via the charity One Tree Planted. Launching 22 August 2021.

Armadillo: Embodying the brand’s philosophy of slow design, this latest series of rugs is handcrafted from natural and sustainable materials. The opposite of trend-driven, these new styles (Odessa, Pompeii and Aspen) are stylish, understated and timeless. From $1,360.

The Rug Company Alexander McQueen collection: Titled Metamorphosis, The Rug Company’s latest Alexander McQueen collection features five statement designs inspired by nature – there’s everything from butterflies to beetles, birds and trees. These rugs are not for wallflowers. From $7590.84.

Tigmi Trading: The latest rugs from Tigmi Trading are a rather gorgeous bunch spanning vintage Moroccan, Scandinavian, Turkish and jute designs. We love the Cappelen Dimyr designs (out of Copenhagen and Stockholm) and the fresh take on the round jute rug – the scalloped edging is just so fun. From $899.

Tribe Home: A collection of overdyed vintage Persian rugs from Iran, these gorgeous rugs are restored using sustainable practices. Helping to preserve traditional rugs for future generations, while taking part in the recycling movement, one rug can cross hundreds of hands and multiple decades before finding its home, making it all the more special.

TSAR Carpets Tæpper Collection: Designed by interior designer Michelle Macarounas of Infinite Design Studio, this series of hand-tufted rugs references mid-century modernism and Scandinavian design. “The goal was to create stylish area rugs that felt more like pieces of art and infuse an eclectic sensibility to any interior space,” says Michelle Macarounas. We love!

I've been meaning to post about getting out of hos I've been meaning to post about getting out of hospital in time for Christmas and spending a magical time with my beautiful family and friends for days now, but I was staying in the moment and off my phone. My wish came true and it really was amazing to enjoy that Santa magic.

Sadly, the day after Boxing Day, I ended up back in an ambulance after an internal bleed where my hemoglobin levels dropped dangerously low. I'm not very good at explaining the medical side, but after surgery and a couple of nights in ICU, I'm now on a ward and recovering well, hoping I get to return home ASAP.

I have so many thank yous to say for the incredible GoFundMe donations and kindness and support I've received. I really am blown away and so grateful. There are so many good people in the world, both strangers and those I'm lucky enough to know.

And having now received 6 bags of blood transfusion myself, another huge shout out to all donors. I felt so good to know I've done my bit donating over the years when I received someone else's life saving donation. Please consider doing the same and potentially saving a life.

Before ending up back in hospital, I was settling in well at home with daily visits from nurses and I'm hoping I can get back to that new normal again soon. 

Thank you again to everyone for their kindness. And biggest thanks to @damianfrancis for truly spoiling me at Christmas and once again holding the fort at home. Our boys are so lucky to have you ❤️
Edit: the winner of this giveaway is @wholehearted Edit: the winner of this giveaway is @wholeheartedstudio Congratulations Hayley!

Trigger warning: cancer. Home is SO important to Trigger warning: cancer.

Home is SO important to me, I even made a job out of talking about it. And having been stuck in hospital for 5 weeks, away from my sanctuary and my boys, I've never craved it more. 

I'm going through the hardest time of my life and I'm finally sharing it here in the way I hope you've always known me to; with authenticity, realness and hope.

I've been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It's devastating and life-changing news and feels very vulnerable to share. Sadly it's causing me so much physical pain, I can't manage it at home. Being stuck in hospital, on top of keeping this secret, has been very isolating. 

Our precious boys are our number one priority and we are being very well supported by our medical team and amazing friends and family. I can't say enough about the huge role my husband is playing in keeping us together.

I've continued to work when possible because I love it and it's a big part of my identity. I want as much normalcy, distraction and positivity as possible right now. Some days I put my lipstick on and face the day with gratitude for all the good stuff, like my world class friends and amazing healthcare. But I'm only human and other days, I just can't.

Despite the gravity of the situation, I only have to look at my boys to know I cannot give up hope. 

Thanks for all the love and support I know you'll throw my way but please respect my boundaries by not asking medical questions or making medical suggestions, and know that I won't be able to reply to everyone. 

This beautiful community has supported me for over a decade and I'm sure your kindness will help me no end. And if you want to support me, keep reading the blog so my work isn't wasted!

I'll still be the main point of contact for Interiors Addict but things will look a little different as I continue my chemo (3 rounds down) and get used to my new way of life. 

Right now, my only wish is to be discharged to my family for Christmas. 

Because I can no longer give blood, if anyone would like to make a festive donation of blood or plasma on my behalf and share it with me here, that would really make my day ❤️

PS. Nurses are worth their weight in gold.
This modular home was built in 6 weeks and install This modular home was built in 6 weeks and installed in just 4 days and can even be added to later if its family outgrow it. It's @mill.built's first prefabricated modular home – a breakthrough in speed, performance and affordability. And it sits in the Yarra Valley's net zero carbon estate, @liveatthecape , which is Australia's first.

This once 90s kitchen is now reflective of the Mid This once 90s kitchen is now reflective of the Mid Century home it's the heart of, and its stylish owners who love vintage glass and other Marketplace finds.

Head to the blog via link in bio to see more of this transformation by @howardlanedesigns Designer Tamiko Gleeson says: "I love that the kitchen now truly serves Peter and Trish – functionally and aesthetically. While every finish is new, there’s a bold sense of nostalgia and confidence in the selections. I love the Jamaican Walnut joinery with its subtle peek of Botanical Green, and the vertical timber slats in the sliding doors and wall-hung bar.

“I love the checkered tiles on the splashback and the way they add a playful rhythm to the space. But what I love most is how the design shines even brighter when layered with their Facebook Marketplace finds."

Suppliers can be found in the blog post.
