Traditional Meets Modern: Rugs by Emma Gardner

The fact that they straddle two poles of design style, classic and pop, makes them an especially flexible investment piece that can work in very contemporary homes as well as more traditional rooms.

The play between traditional and modern is evident, both in scale of pattern and intensity of color. The traditional imagery and design motifs are blown up to pop proportions while the color story remains subtle and quiet OR the classic "pretty" patterns are updated with fresh, intense colors.
