Styling the Antelope Canyon Pool rug with a Loaf Sofa 

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.

Styling the Lichen Griege rug with a Loaf Sofa 

Neutral interiors provide a clean, uncluttered aesthetic, promoting simplicity, elegance, and relaxation with a peaceful atmosphere. Light colours like cream, beige, and white reflect light well, making them ideal for limited spaces. For our neutral rug, we’ve matched the Lichen Griege rug with the Wodge Modular sofa, covered in ‘Thatch’ fabric. The sofa’s curved frame and arms mirror the Lichen rug’s organic turns, creating a subtly coordinated, well-put-together interior. This pairing offers flexibility, with neutral tones as a canvas for accent colors through pillows, throws, or artwork. We recommend adding natural elements like wooden tables or rattan baskets.
