Antelope Canyon Pool rug

A blue and green home interior creates a serene and calming atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The repetition of blue hues establish a sense of unity and balance, similar to ocean waves. The Antelope Canyon Pool rug, is a reflection of the after rain light and water pools seen at the slot canyons in Arizona, where the organic shapes in the design echo the ever-evolving formation. For this modern rug, we have matched it with the ‘Oscar sofa’ from Loaf.  Pairing perfectly with the rectangular shape of the rug due to its boxy back frame and cushions, the ‘Oscar sofa’ still works harmoniously with the organic curves of the Antelope Canyon Pool rug which are mimicked in the soft curves of the arm rest. Fitted with ‘Beach Ball Clever Velvet’, this plush teal sofa is the perfect companion for our Antelope Canyon Pool rug.

Santorini Sunrise rug

Styling an interior with warm colours creates a cheerful and cosy atmosphere, making your space feel welcoming. Colors like red, pink and orange can also stimulate feelings of happiness and optimism, enhancing mood and overall well-being. For the Santorini Sunrise rug, we’ve paired it with the Chatnap Modular Corner Storage Sofa from Loaf. This boxy duo is a match made in heaven, as the L shaped corner frames the Santorini Sunrise perfectly, and elevates the rug’s unique geometric pattern. If your modern rug has a variety colours in it’s design we recommend picking out a certain shade to match to your sofa. Due to its wide colour offering, the Chatnap Modular Corner Storage Sofa is ideal for paring with a luxury rug which has several tones in it. Here, we demonstrate three shades which compliment the Santorini Sunrise, exhibiting the versatility you can achieve with multi-coloured rugs and the wide colour selecting offered at Loaf.

Lichen Griege rug

Neutral interiors provide a clean and uncluttered aesthetic, creating a sense of simplicity and elegance, while promoting relaxation and a peaceful atmosphere. Light colours like cream, beige and whites also reflect the light well, and might be the best interior design colour palette if your space is limited. For our neutral rug, we have matched the Lichen Griege rug with the Wodge Modular sofa, covered in ‘Thatch’ fabric. The curvature of the sofa’s frame and arms mirror the organic turns of the Lichen rugs design, resulting in an interior which is subtly coordinated and well put together. This pairing allows for flexibility in decorating, as neutral tones serve as a neutral canvas for incorporating various accent colors through pillows, throws, or artwork. We recommend incorporating natural elements like wooden side tables or rattan baskets to enhance the organic feel.
