Stumped Carpeting

The Woody Wood Rug Brings Cottage-Chic to City Living

— May 11, 2010 — Art & Design
Seems like the nature motif is still going strong by the looks of the Woody Wood rug. Bringing the cottage atmosphere home to the city, it's one of the best ways to keep up that relaxed mentality.

Designed by YLdesign, the Woody Wood rug embraces an organic construction beyond its look. In order to achieve an authentic, rustic look, the edges were cut and burned for an interesting effect. I particularly like how modern this carpet can still look.
