A bold rug can provide a central focal point for a space, says Treena Swift of Swift Designs in Christchurch, as well as the colour palette to work from. “We encourage our clients to make bold choices but it’s really important to get the proportions right. Consider your rug to be like a piece of art; it’s an investment piece and it can be used to tell your personal story.”
