We previously conducted a survey on essential items for the home, and surprisingly, carpets emerged as the top choice among home enthusiasts. Once labeled as dusty, allergen-harboring, and difficult to clean, carpets have now become the ‘main character’ in showcasing home taste and enhancing the home’s aesthetic appeal. Those who frequently flip through magazine spreads can indeed relate. An outstanding carpet, much like blush on the face, can become the finishing touch to a room’s appearance. Today, we would like to recommend several carpets that are warm, delicate, artistic, and fun. We worry that you might be too captivated by their beauty to step on them.
MEW JI Terrazzo Handmade Round Rug – Who says terrazzo elements can only be hard? They can also be used on carpets! The creator of this rug is Qian Jing, the designer and manager of ‘MEW JI’. She has created carpets for the French Consulate General in Shanghai and is the first Chinese designer to collaborate with IKEA’s New Year series. The carpet is made from 80% pure silk and 20% New Zealand wool, crafted with a hand-knotting technique that takes several months to complete, resulting in a very soft texture.

Abyss & habidecor BRIGHTON Solid Color Carpets Abyss & habidecor, a Portuguese national treasure, was personally awarded the title of ‘Portuguese National Treasure Enterprise’ by then-President Mario Soares in 1989. Their pure cotton carpets are considered art pieces among floor cloths, requiring highly skilled dyeing techniques and meticulous design and weaving capabilities to create. At first glance, they appear as a pure white piece, but upon closer inspection, you can see the solid color loops creating vintage patterns through their uneven arrangement, making them suitable for bathrooms with a subtle yet sophisticated touch. The woven texture on the back of the carpet has a slight anti-slip effect, ensuring the carpet tightly adheres to the floor without moving.
