starting point :: beni ourain rug

There's no doubt that these Moroccan wool rugs have ruled shelter magazine spreads over the past couple of years and are wildy popular -- and with good reason. Their ancient, subtly tribal designs work well across a variety of interior styles. Their rich texture and loosely graphic weaves are a wonderful counterpoint to modern rooms with minimalist furniture. Their exotic feel and tonal colors inject a bit of exotic personality to traditional interiors.

During these chilly winter days, the desire to cozy up a room is natural. Here's how I use the Zuri Zola rug from Lemongrass-Home.com as the starting point for a living room design that is inviting and livable:

Though this room is inspired by winter days, it would be simple to lighten things up for the summer months. Just by switching out the rug like like this one in a natural weave, you'll change the feel of the room without undergoing a full redesign.
