Texture adds essential visual interest and depth to any interior design scheme and a carefully chosen rug is one of the most stylish ways to incorporate texture into your home. Whether it's neutral, colorful, shaggy, jute, or tufted, rugs bring a sense of completion and coziness to every space.
Naturally then, Martyn Lawrence Bullard, celebrity interior designer responsible for the homes of Cher, Ellen Pompeo, Kylie Jenner, and RuPaul Charles, swears by the flooring idea. Bullard tells Homes & Gardens exclusively: 'A rug brings personality to any space, making it feel complete. Rugs are so integral to all the spaces I help to design and why I was so excited to partner with Ruggable on my collection. A well-chosen rug can completely transform a neutral space, turning it from plain to polished in an instant.'
As evidenced by his bold designs Bullard believes a rug should be striking rather than simply using texture that fades into the background. 'The right rug adds texture, color, and pattern, anchoring a room and creating a sense of warmth and style,' he states. 'By layering in a rug with intricate details or a rich palette, you can effortlessly elevate your home, introducing a touch of luxury and sophistication that invites comfort and creativity,' continues Bullard.
Nothing embodies these principles better than Bullard's latest Rug collection with Ruggable. The designs are quintessentially Martyn Lawrence Bullard, drawing inspiration from his global travels. Each design incorporates a mixture of intricate, high-contrast patterns in a modern luxurious way. They tap into many of the most popular rug trends of the year.

Bullard states: 'Partnering with Ruggable to create this collection has been an incredible journey. Our goal was to bring the glamour and sophistication of celebrity interiors into everyday homes, combining Ruggable's innovative washable technology with my globally-inspired designs. Together, we’ve created a range of stylish, practical rugs that make high-end design accessible to everyone. I’m thrilled to share this collection and help people discover their own unique style through these beautiful, versatile pieces.' The accessible price point and machine-washable rug technology make these pieces a wonderful option for those who love Bullard's designs and want to easily recreate the look.
If you're enchanted by the maximalism of Bullard's designs, we recommend layering rugs. This is also a great option for those who are indecisive with all of the amazing options avaiable. Rather than choosing just one rug, choose a few that you love in different sizes. These pieces are made to coordinate with one another, so the look is guaranteed to bring fun and boldness to your home without clashing.
Choosing a rug isn't easy, but knowing that there are options from Martyn Lawrence Bullard himself means there's always a good choice.
