As much as I love the idea of a statement rug with a bold print underfoot, I have to be honest: I prefer solid colors and natural textures in my own home. Which isn't to say you can't still be stylish and characterful in your rug choice, just that you have to dig a little deeper to find the designs that elevate a classic or neutral style into something more fashionable. For instance, if you love the look of jute but want something slightly softer, LAYERED's new Barley collection reimagines the classic style for contemporary homes.
Jute rugs are one of the most timeless rug styles. They offer texture and a dependably neutral palette, but they are often associated with a coarse, rustic character that doesn't match every home. With Barley, LAYERED set out to shift that image toward a softer, more refined expression, perfect for the contemporary home. You can now confidently choose a more minimalist floor covering without sacrificing form or daily comfort. It's a seemingly perfect middle ground for people like me who can't commit to maximalist styles, but still want something interesting.
