8 Carpets to Revitalize a Room
Intricate carpets and rugs breathe life into any room.
1. Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay for Golran

2. Jan Kath of Jan Kath
Product: Sliced.
Standout: Imagine supersize slices of agate, rendered in hand-knotted wool-silk, and they might look like this intricate rug with no repeats.

Product Moab.
Standout Roll & Hill’s founder takes a break from his lighting designs, mining 1960’s graphics and Navajo blanket patterns for this rug.
4. Stacy Garcia for Brintons Carpets
