WANT TO TRY / A PATTERN HAPPY HALLWAY

i really like those underused spaces in a home. like a hallway. often times i think of a hallway simply as a way to get from one space to another, but these rooms are making me rethink it. why not add some personality to your walk from the kitchen to the living room? bright tiles, wallpaper, or a colorful rug are all you need.

add an open closet. this one shows off this gals awesome coat collection. also like the bold red and white tiles -- they really make a statement. source

a whimsical floral wallpaper turns this hallway into a place i want to hang out. the gold details, mirrors, and the small striped rug are a nice touch, and help tie this space together. source

pile on the prints! this pattern combination has a perfect mismatched feel: swans (!), florals, traditional prints, diamonds, and even stripes from the painted wood floor. rather than looking crazy, this quirky corridor feels cozy. source

there is nothing i covet more than a great gallery wall -- especially one that takes over. i love that this hallway is used to display a homeowners treasured collection of art and curiosities. source

focus on one surface, keeping everything else a clean white (except for that amazing geometric jacket). the focus here is clearly the floor, making this hallway feel bright and happy. source


EIGHT / COLORFUL MOROCCAN RUGS

rugs! they've been on my mind (did you see this post?). i've decided my next big home purchase will be a bright moroccan rug. although i haven't found the right one yet (at the right price), i've really enjoyed the hunt. i like these eight handmade options. their geometric motifs make them easy to incorporate into any living space, and i would have so much fun mixing in layers of patterns to create a cozy-bohemian room:

there's no rhyme or reason to the pattern on this wool rug from Beklina, which is why it's so great.

another rug from Beklina. i love these colors! 

this Etsy shop has perfectly styled photos and lovely rugs. i like this one's imperfect wavy lines, and neon pink and purple colors. i'll take the shoes too, please.

this rug feels so summery and light. i like the faded blues, and thin embroidery. wouldn't this be great for an indoor patio? i don't have one, but a girl can dream.

i wanted to share every single rug from Semikah Textiles, but i made myself pick one. i decided on this fantastic, ombre faded runner -- need it for my hallway!

this technically isn't a moroccan rug, BUT the uneven scallops and rainbow hues reminded me of one.

the rugs sold at Loom and Field are beeeautiful. Loom and Field is based in France, and they sell vintage moroccan rugs in bright, cheerful colors. this rug's oversized diamond pattern caught my eye.

it breaks my heart that this rug is sold out! the patterns!
