angela adams pillows and rugs

Bright shades and bold patterns define Angela Adams` designs and I love the way they liven up any space by adding beautiful bursts of colour. I find the geometric patterns intoxicating and somehow find myself unable to look away from the intricate designs. Below are some of my favourite products, available at angelaadams.com. From top to bottom: Munjoy pillow in Blue ($85); Pod pillow in Sprout ($85); Lulu rug in Dandelion ($54); Kelly rug in Dusk (prices vary according to size).

must have: angela adams rugs

angelarug must have: angela adams rugsWe’ve always been big fans of Angela Adams here at STYLE AT HOME. The prolific Maine-based designer is probably best known for her hand-tufted rugs, inspired by the natural beauty of the east coast. She’s just added two new designs to her portfolio, and one in particular — which Angela’s named “Betty” after her mother-in-law — is already standing out as a 2009 design classic. I’m normally not a fan of yellow, but this Honey colourway is just delicious, and the vaguely fish-scale motif is uber-trendy and makes for a wonderful transitional piece that’s super versatile.

designer rugs

rug company designer rugsFor some, a rug is a functional item to warm the floors, cover a stain or delineate a space. For others it`s an afterthought; a nice-to-have-but-not-necessary addition to a room. For others still, a rug is a statement; a bold declaration about style and aesthetic. It might be the special piece that an entire room is designed around or a find so beautiful it`s a guaranteed conversation starter. And for these people, there`s The Rug Company. With handmade designs from world-renowned designers like Vivienne Westwood and Diane Von Furstenberg, these fabulous rugs take rugs to a whole new level. And they`re super-exclusive, too, with stores in a handful of cities worldwide: London, New York, Los Angeles, Barcelona, Madrid, Moscow, Brussels, Copenhagen, Mexico, Oslo, Stockholm and Hong Kong. I can`t think of any better reason to hop on a plane to say, Barcelona, to check these beauties out.

suit up!

brett2 suit up!Haberdashery always translates so well to the home, whether it’s upholstery in a somber suit-style pinstripe, or draperies in tone-on-tone silk taken from a necktie. The current vogue for geek chic has seen bold reinterpretations of menswear-inspired home textiles, and I’m wild for this grand-scale argyle pattern carpet, in a chic and sexy achromatic scheme. It’s preppy and playful, and generously sized at 8-by-11-feet.

Price: $799

Available at: The Home Depot, 800-628-0525 for stores and to order.
