Love It or Hate It? Diane von Furstenberg Leopard Rug
Talk about animal magnetism. This Diane von Furstenberg Leopard Rug (inquire for price) is the kind of carpet that will define an entire room. Can you see laying it down in your house?
Inspired: Kate Hudson at Beverly Hills Burberry Opening
On Monday, Kate Hudson arrived at the grand re-opening of the Burberry Beverly Hills store looking as gorgeous as ever. But we all know Kate looks fab even when she's not all dolled up for an A-List event. What struck me about this photo wasn't Hudson's attire — the boxy Burberry dress isn't the most flattering — but the palette is awe-inspiring.
Crave Worthy: The Rug Company Durbar Hall Rug
It's no wonder I felt an instant attraction to The Rug Company Durbar Hall Rug ($1,795- $25,920); the chartreuse and charcoal flocked rug is designed by Designers Guild — a favorite luxury home furnishing brand of mine. Made of 100 knot, Tibetan wool and silk, it's a high-quality rug that would probably outlive me, if I could ever afford to make the splurge. Its flowing branches and botanicals are certainly feminine enough for a bedroom, but I'd love to see it in a formal dining room with a glossy credenza and a noir chandelier, tempered by a slightly rustic wood dining table.
Nice and New: Kelly Wearstler Rugs For the Rug Company
According to LA Times, Kelly Wearstler is the first American interior designer to create a collection for the London-based The Rug Company. There are currently eight of her designs on the company's website. The ethereal, organic feel of these designs is a clear departure from the Hollywood Regency style that she's known for.
Casa Craving Recap: Loud Rug, Quiet Room
While browsing the divine web site of The Rug Company the other day, I came across this Paul Smith Swirl Rug and thought it would be fun try try to design a room around such a loud design. So for last week's Casa Craving Challenge, I asked readers to design a quiet living area with this rug as the centerpiece.
Everyone worked within similar parameters, picking minimalist furniture with a few bold accents.

Steal of the Day: The Company Store Elia Rug
If my recent roundup has you itching for some flocking, I'm here to ease your pain. The Company Store Elia Rug ($69-$382) has the look of rich damask flocking, without the heavy price tag. You can get yours in blue, chocolate, green, or natural, but I'd suggest steering clear of the cotton-candy blue, so you don't overdo it.
Steal of the Day: The Company Store Honeycomb Rug
I may be biased because I grew up with a beekeeper father who wore a full-body bee suit and churned out bear-shaped jars of honey, but I'm sweet on the hexagonal pattern of honeycomb. If you had chicken-coop wire window and picked up this Company Store Honeycomb Rug ($58.99 - $256.99), I might just have to sting you out of jealousy. I'd caution against purchasing the 8-x-10 size though, the bold pattern and colors might overpower your room, giving you a buzzing headache.

Coming Soon: Anji Mountain Bamboo Shag Area Rugs
I can't get enough of shag rugs lately: I adore the look, and I love the feel of them under my toes. So I'm really excited about this area rug made from a blend of 80 percent sustainable bamboo and 20 percent cotton.
With a texture similar to silk or cashmere, the Anji Mountain Bamboo Shag Area Rugs (via Behind the Curtains) sound absolutely luxurious, and the durable and anti-bacterial material is also luxuriously practical.
