I recently sold this Tree of Life rug to a client here in Sonoma County. I believe this piece and the hallway runner shown in the last photo work quite well. One of the factors involved in selecting the correct rug for the client's living room was the fact she had an extensive art collection displayed on her walls.
The living room was not large. Her skillful decorating resulted in the space being very open and inviting. Additionally, there was an amazing piece of handmade furniture (the handmade credenza on the back wall) that one would not want to distract from. What was needed was an aesthetically pleasing rug with the exact colors to pull all the art and furnishings together AND that emanated a peaceful, calming mood. Also and always of paramount importance was finding a rug and runner that the client responded to emotionally and artistically. Always the challenge.
I am pleased to say that this client's choices for her home could not have been better!
Just thought I would share.
