Zen and the Art of Area Rugs

Zen seems to be a buzz word these days. Rooms with an Asian flair – that create that Zen-like retreat. Well I would like to introduce you to the Koi line from Momeni. This line of area rugs is hand tufted in China from 100% wool and incorporates Chinese characters, Asian motifs, and designs. With five great sizes including a round and runner, these are good rugs to look at if you are trying to create your Zen retreat.

Let’s start with the KO-04 Beige area rug. With its oversize Asian inspired design, this rug adds warmth with its rich beige back-ground and pop with the black branches and red berries. By not being overtly Asian this rug will fit nicely into any room.

Now, let’s go full tilt Zen with KO-01 Black – with its Chinese characters and striking contemporary lay-out this rug is perfect for those that have a craving for anything Chinese and perfect in creating a very Asian inspired room.

Finally, a rug that is inspired by the pagodas and magnificence of the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace in Beijing, KO-12 Red. This beautiful area rug has magnificent details and coloring. If you want a rug that truly speaks to the Emperors of China, to the history that you find in the hutongs and Palaces of Beijing, this is the rug.
