Often, you'll find interior designers talking about the starting point of a scheme. Some might start with existing architecture and aesthetics, others might use color as a jumping-off point. I, however, have started with a rug.
It wasn't really a conscious decision – more a case of scrolling through Pinterest and saving one too many rooms that all happened to have the same rug trend: folk flatweaves. You may know the kind: woven, flat, subtly patterned, full of character, each one a little unique. They feel colorful but never loud, full of sweet little motifs yet not overly kitsch.
