Rugs That Grandma Would Love
There’s a trend afoot: Rugs that celebrate the handmade are making a comeback. Like lovingly pieced patchwork quilts, traditionally crafted carpets bring nostalgia and comfort to uncertain times. Hand-hooked wool, raggy braids, and woven recycled textiles—rugs your grandma would love—add a party of saturated color, and the warmth of nubby texture to
your space.
It’s an Etsy shopping day today—enjoy our handcrafted rug finds from some talented
Etsy artisans.
Turn naked steps into a stylish feature with The Old Loft’s “Pennies,” set of 12 stair treads. Or cozy up your entryway with Five Forty’s blue plaid, made from recycled wool.
Gild your floor with a carpet of gold like Crispina Frrench’s 5 x 7 Mustard “Potholder Rug.” Or add some whimsy to your treads with these rosy “Flowers” from The Old Loft.
How about a rug for your wall, like this Woven Alpaca Wall Art from Alpaca Hill Dry Goods?
Savannah Sunshine’s rag creations — like her “Graffiti” and “Peanut Butter and Jelly” would snap anyone out of a bad mood. As would the carousel of color that J L Rutter braids into her rag rugs, “Confetti” and “Candy Stripe.”
Here’s a gorgeous patchwork of traditional designs, “Pennies, Diamonds and Stars” from A Primitive Rug Hooker.
Need a pop of primaries and black? How about Five Forty’s Recycled Multi Fibre Rag Rug? Or keep it calm and serene with Crispina Ffrench’s Periwinkle “Potholder Rug.”
After digging up these toasty treasures, my kitchen floor is feeling a bit cold and lonely.
