Spot on! I have been looking for a cheetah print rug for so long! And there you were all along in your gorgeous spotted fibres. Stanton Carpets actually has an entire line of animal prints for carpet as hot as this little number above called Lake Jaguar, like bagira and serpentine. What I'd really like to do? Cut it up for stair runner and have it bound along the edges in black for a punch.

This rug sample just came in from Surya! If any room was looking for a punch of texture, this certainly is a great way to do so. Each strand is about as thick as your pinky finger, so the scale is very interesting. The Aros rug is made of 100% New Zealand felt wool.

I could see this buxomly stranded rug in contemporary living room, bedroom setting, or perhaps a playful child's room.

Notice the floor of this spectacular bathroom designed by Glen Peloso. These square tiles by Antica are a gorgeous stripped mix of greys and white and they are a very fresh and contemporary version of the traditional Carrera marble stone tiles.

The tiles have been carried up the wall of the custom walk-in shower which is smart, it draws the eye up. But I have seen this tile before:

I first saw this same Antica Tile while early Christmas shopping in a newly renovated RW & Co store. The tile looked sleek as a vanity mirror and was laid as straight as a high fashion cat walk. I liked it so much I asked the manager if they had any left over tile boxes somewhere that might have a label with product information. Hey, sources are important! This tile nails retail and residential purposes!

POW! BOFF! BAM! No, you aren't reading onomatopoeia's from a Batman comic, but these would be the sounds of colour and pattern coming to life from an Amy Butler Rug. Each pattern of these hand-tufted rugs are bursting with vibrancy. Gone are the wash of blah blah neutral throw rugs, kick it up a notch and live alittle, and for goodness sake add some much needed colour in your life. Oh my, these rugs do get me going don't they? This hot number is called Caracas.

And here we have Coventry and Chrysanthemum respectively.

Lacework is a bit more subdued in pale tones like cornflower blue and lemongrass greens. This would be a cottage favorite, I could base the design of an entire summer house off this one!
