This Finances-Pleasant Reversible Persian Rug from West Elm Immediately Made My Area Really feel Cozier

I grew up in a home with carpets just about in every single place (minus the kitchen and loos, after all), which implies I didn’t actually begin to respect rugs till I moved to NYC. Flats solely have tile, laminate, and wooden flooring, so except you wish to stroll round in socks and slippers or have chilly toes for half the yr, you higher have some rugs round your house.

As a 20-something with restricted funds, rugs had been on the backside of my precedence listing. I used to be extra anxious about whether or not my IKEA dresser was going to outlive one other transfer again then. However now that I’m in my 30s and work at an organization that encourages designing residing areas you take pleasure in spending time in, I’ve come to like not solely how a rug pulls an area collectively, however how plush it feels in your toes (particularly after a protracted day of stomping round on pavement). I’ve a small hallway that connects my entryway to my lounge and was having the hardest time discovering a cool runner to place there till I stumbled upon this reversible Persian rug from West Elm.

The Kay Reversible Persian Rug is a handwoven, shed-resistant 85% polyester and 15% cotton rug. It’s black and cream on one aspect (although I actually assume it seems extra navy to me) and has an equivalent pink and cream sample on the opposite aspect. The rug is .3 inches thick, which is sufficient to discover a slight plushness once you stroll throughout it. West Elm recommends that you just purchase a rug pad for this rug, although I personally don’t assume it’s crucial. It doesn’t slip that simply. I opted for the runner measurement, which is 2.5 toes by 7 toes, although it additionally is available in 4 different sizes (5 toes by 8 toes, 6 toes by 9 toes, 8 toes by 10 toes, and 9 toes by 12 toes).

Actually, this rug had me at “reversible.” If sometime, I get bored with the navy blue/grey colour, I can merely flip it over and provides my condominium a recent look. It’s mainly two rugs in a single for less than $149 — I name that an excellent deal.

It’s cozy, doesn’t slide a lot (although I don’t have the really helpful rug pad beneath), and it has tied my house collectively, giving it a cohesive. The entryway space regarded separated from the remainder of my dwelling earlier than including on this West Elm gem. Plus, this rug matches my Ruggable x Jonathan Adler space rug completely. It additionally provides some much-needed heat to my flooring throughout the winter. Our condominium may be very chilly, so I respect not having to step on the chilly wooden ground on a regular basis.
