Spring has officially arrived and, with that, the weather is warming, spring bulbs have started flowering and daylight saving is giving us some lovely extended evening sunshine. It’s the perfect time to consider a new, stylish look for your spaces with a one-of-a-kind masterpiece from the experts in rugs, Source Mondial.
Fine Persian rugs have long been respected as the pinnacle of high-end floor coverings, but with more interiors embracing a muted, ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic, the bold colours and intricate patterns of traditional rug styles have sometimes felt out of place.
The solution arrives by way of a new trend taking hold, embraced by Source Mondial, that sees classic rugs being given a makeover to complement contemporary homes, with colour palettes more in step with modern trends.
Source Mondial’s latest collections include both new designs with a classic feel, and unique vintage pieces that started life as a Persian rug of the finest quality.
The Versailles Collection features renewed vintage pieces that wouldn’t be out of place adorning the floors of the sophisticated French palace.
It’s easy to fall in love with the soft pink and beige hues of the piece bearing the name of the infamous queen who called Versailles home, Marie Antoinette.
These vintage Persians have been overdyed to achieve a subtle, faded patina, in keeping with the subtlety of the French colour palette.
Meanwhile, the Trade Routes Collection celebrates the rich history of the Silk Road and the trade routes that brought rugs from Persia to the West. It features new designs intended to reflect the look of classic styles.
Each rug has been beautifully hand-crafted at each stage, from the dying of the wool, to hand-spinning the yarn, to the finest Persian hand-knotting in elegant, understated shades.
Their softened, lived-in style nestles into current interior spaces as though it has always been there.
With their exquisite craftsmanship, colours and patterns, they will quickly become the centre of attention in any room. As each beautiful item is a masterpiece like no other, the pieces available are limited to a select few.
Whatever your spaces, colour schemes or furniture, Source Mondial will work closely with you to meet your needs.
Having trouble picturing how one of these rugs, or any other pieces from Source Mondial’s extensive collections, might adorn your own ‘palace’? An approval service means you can try the rug in your own home before making a final decision.
Alternatively, a rendering service sees rug options added digitally into a photo of an intended room so you can see how they will work within your home.
Beyond these new arrivals, Source Mondial is continually adding to its extensive rug collections. The expert team remains on the pulse of interior trends, embracing evolving art and design influences as well as the finest patterns and colours each season from around the world.
