I have to say....I don't hate the Kilim rug trend!
They add a splash of color and a dash of boho - making any room instantly happier.

A bit of "Kilim" history for you . . . this type of rug weaving migrated from Turkish tribes to parts of present-day Iran, Turkey & Afghanistan. Some evidence of kilim woven textiles dates back to 7,000 B.C. - making it one of the oldest traditions in rug design in the world.
What sets them apart from other rug weaving traditions is two-fold:
Kilim are flat woven and have no pile. {unlike Persians}
&
They always incorporate some geometric design.
The best part?
A kilim will work with any design style and in ANY room!
I love how sharp they look in contrast to white interiors, especially.

What I'd really love to do is collect a few and someday create this:
I adore the contrast of the dark formal architecture and the bright boho chic-ness

Happy Shopping & Happy Friday!!
