11-2-swirl-rug.jpgQ: I've been looking for a rug with gray and brown swirls. Does anyone know where I could get a rug like this? I was looking for decorating ideas from a real estate website and came across this rug in an apartment in Chelsea. Please help.Thanks.

Editor: I instantly recognized this rug as one of Paul Smith's popular designs for The Rug Company — available in 4 colorways: Swirl, Brown Swirl, Pale Swirl and Paris Swirl, this design is made up of Nepalese wool or a blend of Nepalese wool and silk (depending on color) and is either $95 or $125 per square foot. It can be purchased at The Rug Company store in SoHo.

If the Rug Company is too expensive, similar (but far simpler) designs can be found for less — who has suggestions for alternatives for Elana?
