Curated Finds For Sal | Rugs
Based on your brief, I curated a selection of rugs that feel layered, warm, and full of character, while still sitting comfortably within a modern mid century and eclectic living room.
Rather than leaning overly traditional or heavily patterned, I focused on pieces that bring softness through texture, faded tones, geometric shapes, and warmer earthy colours. The overall direction feels collected and lived in rather than overly styled, which I think works especially well in eclectic spaces where you want contrast and personality without the room feeling visually chaotic.
I was really drawn to this option because it has that slightly vintage, collected feel that works beautifully in eclectic interiors. The pattern feels softened and relaxed rather than formal, which makes it much easier to pair with cleaner mid century furniture silhouettes.
I could especially see this working in a space with walnut woods, warmer lighting, and mixed textures because it quietly adds depth without overpowering the room.
The geometric detailing subtly nods towards mid-century design, but the confident palette keeps it feeling calm and easy to layer into a living room over time.
What I particularly liked here is that it’s made from 100% wool, which immediately gives it a richer and more elevated feel underfoot. Wool rugs also tend to age beautifully and bring a natural softness into a space, which works especially well in eclectic interiors where you want warmth and texture to soften cleaner furniture lines.
I think this works beautifully if you want the room to feel refined and cohesive, while still relaxed and lived in.
The Betula Flatweave rug felt like the most playful option from the selection. Checkerboard rugs can sometimes feel quite bold, but I think the burnt orange and softer neutral tones make this feel much warmer and more timeless.
In a modern mid century space, this would work really well to break up cleaner furniture lines and introduce a bit more personality. I also love that it still feels graphic and contemporary without becoming too sharp visually.
This option leans beautifully into the modern mid-century direction from your brief. The olive tone brings warmth and depth into the living room, while the softer grid pattern adds structure without feeling too bold.
It’s also made from 100% wool, which gives it a more elevated feel and beautiful texture underfoot. I could especially see this styled with walnut woods, cream upholstery, vintage inspired lighting, and warmer earthy accents for a layered and collected look.
