Design Crush: Contemporary Gold Rug
Every other week, I share my latest Design Crush here on the blog. This week, I'm loving the Cyan Design Facets gold contemporary rug. Measuring 11 feet by 7.1 feet, this geometric area rug features lines and angles that recreate a facet-inspired pattern. This floor rug also features durable fiber construction and a fun, vibrant gold-and-yellow color palette that makes it ideal for an array of uses from nurseries to family rooms.
