A common misconception when it comes to interior design is that soft furnishings require less thought than larger pieces of furniture. The truth is that soft furnishings play an integral role in the most important tasks like layering and making a house feel like a home, and they should be chosen with as much care as any other piece for your interior.
Carpets, in particular, have long been a symbol of luxury, offering warmth and comfort underfoot, as well as color, texture and pattern. They can be used to divide a space, define a mood or simply display tapestry art on the floor.
But with the wide variety of piles, materials and styles available, making the investment isn't always easy. Whether you're after a slim hallway runner or a living room showpiece, our luxury rug buying guide offers ideas and advice on choosing the right rug for your home.
