Natural Rugs


To go along with the rug theme, I found a website, http://www.natural-elements.net/products.php, that makes rugs out of all natural fibers, such as abaca, coir (harvested from coconut husks), sea grass and mountain grass, to name a few. While the patterns formed from weaving and interwinding the fibers may not seem very intricate from a distance, they actually do make beautiful, yet simple patterns.





Rug Patterns


I was searching different rug patterns and came across a few patterns I enjoyed.  When I think of rugs, oriental rugs with very symmetric and ornamental designs come to mind, so here are different styles that I found appealing that may be more simplistic, but still beautiful.
