Hi there.  Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n

Way back in the late Fall, I received an email from Ecarpet Gallery<\/a> asking if I wanted to do a review of a rug from their online store. I sort of put it out of my mind because acquiring a rug wasn\u2019t at the top of my priorities. <\/p>\n

(You may have seen the gorgeous cover<\/a> of the February House & Home \u2013 the rug was from Ecarpet.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But as the months grew colder, I decided that layering a rug over my jute rug would warm up my living room, giving it less of a summer vibe.<\/p>\n

So I took a look through their site, for literally hours, and came across this beauty<\/a>. I just loved the ethnic feel and the pattern seemed kind of familiar to me.  Plus it\u2019s a bit unexpected. <\/p>\n

\"\"

It\u2019s not a vintage rug which tends to be thinner due to wear and have their own appeal. It\u2019s new and plush which makes it oh-so-soft underfoot. A rug like this wouldn\u2019t be a good choice for a front entry though.<\/p>\n

I like that the Ecarpet<\/a> site gives you info on the rug. This one is from the Peshawar Bokhara region of Pakistan noted for its high quality rugs. The motif is what\u2019s referred to as the elephant foot pattern.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Here are some close ups. There is also a faint hint of blue which picks up on the blue throughout the room. <\/p>\n

\"\"

My pink velvet ottoman looks even more fab sitting on the rug.<\/p>\n

Do check out Ecarpet Gallery<\/a> if you are looking for a rug in any size, colour or pattern. Their inventory is diverse. They also have amazing sales every now and then (eg. my carpet was on sale for around $400), so get on their mailing list so you can receive word of their exclusive offers.<\/p>\n

Here are a few that I liked from their site.<\/p>\n

I like many in this collection<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"

This one is an investment but isn\u2019t it gorgeous? (I\u2019m sure it will go on sale at some point!)<\/p>\n

\"\"

This vintage rug from the 1950\u2019s would look sweet placed in front of a bed in a little girl\u2019s room with its shades of pink and mint:<\/p>\n

\"\"

1<\/a> | 2<\/a> | 3<\/a><\/p>\n

With almost 2000 rugs on their site, you are sure to find something for yourself or a client.  They ship within Canada and the US and have a 30-day return policy.  Happy shopping!<\/p>\n

Thank you so much Ecarpet Gallery! I adore my new rug.<\/p>\n
