There are few purchases that cost under $3 that have worked as hard or proven as versatile as my IKEA signe mats.
I have a a weakness for casual stripes (as opposed to bold and polished, the way most people think of stripes), and I think that, like black, every room benefits from a little stripe.
I remember when I bought a few of these little rugs about a month after moving into our house. It was one of those classic American hoarder Ikea shopping trips where you run in to get "water glasses and maybe a few things to help organize kid toys," but get caught up in how simple (and inexpensive) that scandinavian style is, and come out wielding a massively unruly shopping cart with wobbly wheels--why are those carts so flipping shaky?-- while forcing your toddler to walk so that the water glasses (and wineglassespictureframesorchidcowhidedesklamp) have a secure spot.
I remember my husband coming home and asking why his "minimalist" wife had bought 10 front door mats...I claimed I had a plan, and as it turns out many years later I did :)
And I use one to layer this old, uglybutawesome chair that we inherited and have grown to love, making the brown tweed not so just brown tweedish....
And I have a few that I layer in our bedroom every once in a while. Personally, I prefer mats (if anything) to rugs in our bedroom because I love the simplicity of bare wood floors.
For a year or so, IKEA stopped selling these SIGNE mats, but they started carrying them again a few months ago...so watch out hem Moss...
I'm always tempted by those striped rugs too...was just at ikea yesterday and was thrilled to see them back. they make the BEST pillows to use on the floor or outdoors...
ReplyDeleteooohhhh...the stripes!!!
ReplyDeleteThe dining room chair 'rugs' are genius. I love the look and practicality of them. I'm new to your blog so I've never seen your bedroom. I adore the fireplace surround as your headboard. So clever. (Oh yeah--PRECIOUS baby!) Can't wait to read older posts.
ReplyDeleteI love this collection of rug and tribal collection rugs. I have recently bought from sharafiandco.com wool persian rug and i'm satisfied with it, Thanks for share.
