black and white rugs
Week two of the new series: Boom/Bust and this week we are looking at monochrome rugs. Black and white is still a strong colour combination and will be a continuing trend next season. Of course for some it never went away no matter what the fashion forecasters say. The joy of monochrome is that you can mix it with any other colour to make it completely your own; blush or neon pink, Hermes orange or lime green. Even shades of grey are enlived with strong black and white patterns.
And that’s the other great thing about monochrome. It works briliantly with strong geometric patterns and that’s the other great story of the moment. So, ( I feel I should say) without further ado:
