From time to time I have the urge to move things around, change the look of a room, have fun with my decor! Does this happen to you too? As much as I love neutrals, lately I've been seriously attracted to vibrant pops of color in my designs. Maybe it's because spring is here, maybe it's because our tastes and styles constantly evolve. 

When Orian Rugs reached out to me about their fabulous rugs' collections I knew it was the perfect opportunity to change the personality of my space "from the rug up"! it was a serious calling to dare to inject some color in my home (yay!) - the room of choice? My living room. 

Changing or adding a rug in a room is the easiest way to change the whole atmosphere; and rethink how you want the space to make you feel. A rug is one of the most powerful elements in your decor.

In my case, I wanted to add color and some classic vibes to my neutral modern glam living room. My color of choice is usually blue, but after seeing Orian Rugs' Bohemian Collection I decided to try a red oriental rug variation with a transitional twist. This Ankara Red rug looked even better in person - I love its distressed finish that makes it look a bit modern. It was a lot of fun to place it under my sofa and decorate around it. I brought pillows, art and other pieces of furniture to complete the look. Ain't it a big change?

It feels like a completely different room! Adding some color to a room doesn't have to include a bucket of paint. the best thing about a colorful rug is that you can always place it in other parts of your home when you want a change. And for you to start exploring some possible changes in your own space, here's the TOP 5 choices I considered before making the final decision. Do you have a favorite?

It was my first time incorporating that amount of color in my home and I LOVED IT!! It's already inspired other color additions around the house - maybe in classic jewel tones?? - , so stay tuned for those! :) Thanks so much for reading! xx.
