As you can imagine, it's been busy busy busy around here. We're really entering the home stretch on our remodel! Not to jinx anything, but I hope to be fewer than five posts away from a big reveal. In the meantime, how do people feel about traditional rugs? Remember, our apartment harkens from the 1920s, even if we've tried to update its interior. Then again, I do admit an affinity for purple so maybe I'm distracted by the fact that I found a relatively lovely, very well-priced rug that has purple in it. Vote away! I have to keep packing.
Here are some pictures of traditional rugs in modern rooms:
sample one
sample two
sample three
I'm not saying I'm in love with any of those interiors, but I think in concept a traditional rug and a simple Crate and Barrel style sofa can work together. Yes/no?
Also, shout out to my peeps in DC! Hang in there, there's snowhere to go but up! And if you're still stuck indoors, remember there's snowhere like home.

Yikes, I'm going to say no to that. I think mix and match could work but only if done very carefully. In the first sample, all I can see is the purple rug, which just sticks out as being out of place. The second one only works because the color is more subtle.
Good luck with renovation! Hope to see the end result real soon.
See, I actually like the first room better because the second rug looks washed out to me, and therefore it looks even older and more out of place next to the ultra modern furniture (which I will not be buying).
I think the third one does the best job of combining old and new.
