So it looks like the overwhelming response to the rug Charlie showed you all last week was a good one, so today I am going to talk you through part of the process of how we would pick a gorgeous rug like this for one of our interior design clients.
First of all this gorgeous rug was originally designed by Riviere
Here is the design that we originally saw
As you can see it is very pretty but doesn’t quite have the WOW factor we were looking for!
Now we’re getting somewhere – as you can see the choice is endless when it comes to colours. However, we very quickly narrowed it all down.
These were more what we were looking for! A bit of colour, and (since we were doing one of the blossom’s colour in silk) a little bit of sparkle too! Next comes the artwork (the grey didn’t show up very well on this)
Then the big moment of truth when it was unrolled at the show room…. would we hate it and wish we had never ordered it? Would the client burst in to tears? No neither of these happened but if there were tears I am sure they would have been of joy as this rug is truly breathtaking
So there it is – an inside peek in to creating a bespoke rug for a client – would you be able to be so bold?
