If you’re looking for a nice gift for someone who appreciates attention to detail when it comes to decorating then check out the newly released book The Decorative Carpet: Fine Handmade Rugs in Contemporary Interiors. Alix P. Perrachon, a private rug buyer, is one of the authors and an expert on decorative carpets.
I had the pleasure of meeting her about a year ago at her Manhattan store. She hosted a lecture featuring designer, Mary Douglas Drysdale.
If you have no clue about placing handmade carpets in contemporary places this is the book for you. The Decorative Carpet book doesn’t just illustrate how the experts place rugs but how homeowners layout a room as well. There’s tons of information on the many kinds of rugs available and how to care for them.
We had the pleasure of collaborating with Mary Douglas Drysdale for a photo shoot to be included in the book. We were thrilled with the selection of wall coverings she chose as well as furniture and handmade rugs. Enjoy…
