Browsing through Kelly Wearstler's portfolio, I came across this image of a living room in a Santa Monica residence that she designed. While the traditional/Hollywood Regency style of the space is certainly elegant that's not the reason the photo caught my eye. The grayish-blue, lattice-patterned rug was glaring back at me; it looked oddly familiar. To hear where I'd seen a similar piece, read more.
The West Elm Taksim Tile Rug ($69 and up) suspiciously resembles the one in the Wearstler-designed living room. Considering that her interiors are often marked by luxe furnishings, I wonder if the rug inspired West Elm to design a more affordable alternative. They're both beautiful, and I've actually been drooling over the Taksim Tile Rug for months. I'd be happy to own either one. Would you?

Love this rug! I have also been drooling it for a while -- unfortunately it's sold out in most sizes now at West Elm! And right when I was finally ready to buy it!
1What good eyes you have, my dear!
This is a very elegant design and I actually think that I prefer the scale of the pattern in the one from West Elm.
2I have one of these rugs at home - we got the runner size for a hallway and it looks great! I also prefer the West Elm pattern scale, at least for anything 8x10 or under.
3that room could be easily recreated by pieces that we currently carry at west elm. We even have a lamp that is a similar material to the lamp shown.
4Such an elegant room I would love to have that room in my house.
5the rug is really nice and versatile. I like a small lattice design rather than a huge one.
6Nice!
7I love introducing an exotic element into a room! This pattern is bold but not overwhelmingly so.
