Helen Varsity Streifen Taupe & Blau Flachgewebter Teppich von Humberto Leon

I’d been looking for a rug that felt sporty but still warm enough for a living room, and the taupe-blue combo does exactly that—the flatwoven texture lies perfectly underfoot without slipping around.

The offset stripe design gives this rug such a unique, modern feel — it’s not your typical runner. I placed it in my entryway and the taupe and blue combo really brightens the space. The flatwoven texture is also holding up well to daily foot traffic.

The offset stripe bands make it feel more modern than your typical varsity rug, and the taupe-blue combo is exactly what the photos show. It lies flat right out of the box, though I did wish the weave was a touch denser underfoot. Still, it’s doing exactly what I needed it to in the hallway.
