Six Room-Making Rugs
Floors are often overlooked in room design, but these standout rugs will make you think twice before opting for nondescript wall-to-wall carpeting or hardwood.

Eskayel for Doris Leslie Blau, dorisleslieblau.com
After spotting Shanan Campanaro's bespoke wallpaper for Eskayel, the
creative team at Doris Leslie Blau, veterans in carpet making, worked
with Campanaro to create seven patterns for a line of handmade rugs
inspired by the designer's original watercolors. To translate the
delicate brushstrokes and gradation into makeable designs, the team used
higher knit counts rarely employed in modern construction, as well as a
range of materials like Chinese and banana silk, wool, aloe, and
pashmina. The result is a series of ethereal, Rorschach-esque statement
pieces.
