There is an increasing focus on self-expression within interior spaces, employing the notion that our individual taste can elevate a room beyond the average. A rug, as we well know, is the perfect way to implement this notion. Here we select five rugs that can bring an element of individuality and a great deal of style to a room.

Genuine metal thread adds an element of luxury and shimmer.
