Buying and Decorating with Rugs

The February/March issue of Homes + Gardens Northwest featured an article titled, “Here’s the Lowdown on Buying and Decorating with Rugs.” The article went through the buying process, explaining what to look for in terms of quality, aesthetics and design, and featured decorating tips from Madison Millinger’s own Meg Coulter. The article's main image (shown here) is an installation of a Lapchi wool and silk rug in the home of Jon Palanuk by Madison Millinger.



From the section Complimentary Fabrics: “When working with a large scale floral such as this, designer Meg Coulter chooses solid colors for the larger furnishings such as the teal chaise. Balance is also achieved with smaller-scale patterns in pillows, side-chair seat cushions in geometric patterns and striped ottomans. A bold damask pillow provides a strong visual accent.” Click on the thumbnail image for a larger view.
