Okay, I confess, I am a sucker for patterned carpets, those
wall-to-wall woolen wonders! I love so many different patterns that it's always
hard to pick a favorite. When it comes to patterned carpets, "love the one
you're with" is my motto.
Of course, in the world of ski cabins, fru fru bows and flowers
in pastel colors aren't appropriate. But there are so many fantastic patterns
that work beautifully in rustic interiors.
Unfortunately, patterned carpets can be very pricey and many of
my favorites are in the $100 per yard (or much more) range. There are a few
favorites, however, that are available for under $100 per yard. I was just
showing them last week to a client, and I thought I'd show them to you, too.
Stripes are always a great choice for mountain houses. One I've
always liked is called Aaah by Robertex. I love the colorway below with the
subtle red pinstripe.
Aaah by Robertex $72.80 per yard
Here's another stripe I like. It's New Zealand Wool from
Hibernia Woolen Mills in naturally dyed colors.
Hibernia Inspiration Kiawah Island $83.72 per
yard
Hibernia Inspiration Martha's Vineyard $83.72
per yard
The colorway above would be practical for mountains houses with
kids, dogs and hikers.
Speaking of practical, I love the way that the choice
below actually comes pre-spotted (fantastic if you're worried about pet
stains).
Antelope from Glen Eden's Out of Africa
collection $93.38 per yard
It looks great installed, doesn't it? See below.
Well those are three of the best looking under $100 patterned carpets
around. Oh heck, I'm feeling tired of controlling the budget, here are a couple
of wow-factor patterned carpets for those with a hell-yes attitude.
Bellbridge Iakawa Fog
Prestige Mills Cardinal
