Inspiration can be found anywhere, even in your medicine cabinet as Dan Golden proves with his drug rugs. Each piece of carpeting is a colorful, abstract representation of the pills he popped in the past. Showing off his creativity, it is still a more subdued collection compared to his other [humorous rug designs](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dan-golden-rug-collection-explicit-decoration-in-your-living-room).

In fact, Dan Golden’s drug rugs could easily be seen as innocent, elegant home decor.

Manufactured by Odegard this spring, Dan Golden alludes to such pills as Viagra, Propecia and Adderall.
