Kolmikko Blue & Tan Rug by Marimekko

The petals look like they’re floating on the ivory base, and the blue really pops against our light wood floors. This is the first rug that’s made our living room feel like a proper gallery space, and the weave lies perfectly flat from day one.

The colors are so much richer in person—that bright blue really pops against the ivory. The pattern looks like a garden scattered across my living room floor. I keep finding new ways the petals seem to shift when the light hits them.

The ivory backdrop really lets the blue and tan petals pop, and the large-scale print makes it feel like a piece of art rather than just a floor covering. The weave is a bit thinner than I'd hoped for a high-traffic area, but it's perfect for a cozy reading nook.
