Hello again - first post in a while due to arrival of our first baby - Ciaran. :)

This rug is outstanding - brings the outdoors in and has an unusual textured finish. From a collection by Angela Adams.

This Shoelace rug is awesome. Created by Nate Silverstein and Andrea Paustenbaugh.

These are spectacular - by Nani Marquina  - sorely tempted.

This door mat is made from recycled measuring tapes. Another inspirational use of recycled materials by Vivaterra.

How not to lose your slippers - park them in their own parking bay within this rug of the same material. Created by Lise El Sayed.

This 100% merino wool rug was created by acclaimed South African textile designer Ronel Jordaan and retails for $498. Pricey but a little bit different.

Katrin Sonnleitner's site details her modular Persian rug made from recycled rubber & synthetics. Here's some pics of her Puzzleperser Modular range. You can design your own rug via her website.
