For months—coming up on 12, to be exact—I’ve been searching for a good-looking area rug for our bedroom that’s neutral (so I won’t get tired of it) but not boring. It’s surprisingly hard to find. Until, that is, a neighbor from the north arrived: EQ3, what I’d venture to call the Canadian Ikea, which opened a three-level flagship in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood this fall. Among pretty well-priced midcentury furniture and lighting, their rugs are all neutral with a twist:s sure to fit in any room, without sacrificing on the intriguing factor. Take a look—many of them are currently on sale.
(All prices given are sale prices for the 8×10 size, except where noted.)
Above: The soft-hued Lake Rug is hand-loomed with an unexpected pool of blue at the center; $879.99. (It’s also available with a pale peach center.) Above: The mostly cream Verge Rug is woven from 100 percent New Zealand wool and has yellow and green detailing; $599.96. Above: The Floral Rug is the work of Danish designer Nina Flagstad Kvorning and is inspired by tulips. Shown here in Black, it’s also available in Sand; both are currently on sale for $399 for the 5×8 size. Above: For a slightly more colorful, but still subtle, option, the Grid Rug (shown here in Sand) plays with color gradients—and is completely reversible ($559.96). Above: The Nomad Rug is “inspired by the traditional Mazandaran kilim rugs of northern Iran,” with broken stripes ($319.99 for the 5×8 size). Above: Woven from wool and cotton and designed with Winnipeg-based designer Carla Zacharias, the Tartan Rug offers an oversized take on plaid, in brick red and blue ($519.99 for the 6×9 size). Above: Finally, the Mystic Rug is completely reversible (black on one side, cream on the other), with braided tassels on each corner ($639.99 for the 9×12 size).
