If You Can’t Beat ‘em, Join ‘em

So I realize my last two posts have spoken somewhat disparagingly of the coming change of seasons… going from sunny to grey, from green to white, from warm to cold. But as I sit here tonight typing on my computer I’m looking out my window and remembering that I just love fall; the way the light comes in as the sun sets and sets the changing colors aglow. The way the blue sky is crossed with almost lavender clouds. While winter is monochromatic and summer is full of tones of green and blue and white, autumn is just ablaze with all the saturated colors that remind you that Mother Nature knows what she’s doing.

Now, what does this have to do with area rugs you ask (I mean this is an area rug site, so I should be able to pull the two together shouldn’t I?) Well, if you just love those vivid colors. Or, you remember what we did as kids by making collages of pressed maple, beech and sassafras leaves, or even better you remember jumping in piles of freshly raked leaves… you can recapture this with an area rug. Rugs to My Door as a wide assortment of rugs that use these vivid fall colors; we have rugs that will remind you of those leaf collages, we have everything you need to rekindle those wonderful falls of your past (not to mention keeping it firmly in the present.)

Let’s start with the Chelsea Collection from Safavieh and their Falling Leaves rug; if this rug doesn’t remind you of all those leaf collages you made and doesn’t add some of those vivid colors into your home, I’m not sure what will.
What about the Genesis Collection from United Weavers? Again, think collage, think deep rich colors and think affordable. This rug is one very easy and inexpensive way to add some color for a season. There’s no reason why you can’t have rugs that reflect the season and your changing moods.

Want something that is a little less strictly for fall? Try Foliage Views from Kas. This rug still gives you that botanical feel of a leaf collage, but the colors are a bit less seasonal. It also gives you that Patchwork feel that is so hot this season. Talk about killing two birds with one stone?!?

Finally, take a look at Arbor Glen area rug from Oriental Weavers. Again, the leaf motif is there, and the colors are deep and rich (just what we want for the next few months) but this rug lends itself to those of you looking for a bit more Lodgy look.
So, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em and bring some of the fall into your home with a fun new area rug without having to lift a rake to do it.
