Round Up: IKEA Stockholm Area Carpet
Looking for big impact with a low price tag? Look no further than the Stockholm area carpet from IKEA.
We believe in a save and splurge approach to design. There are certainly items worth spending money on, others where purchasing and specifying product at a less expensive price point makes sense. Most items fall somewhere in the middle.
When an item meets both big, bold impact as well as a reasonable price point we take notice. The Stockholm area carpet has made it’s way into three of our projects (so far), each with a different vibe and aesthetic, including the Nyla Free Designs office!
Handwoven by skilled craftspeople, each one is unique. Made in India, in organized weaving centres with good working conditions and fair wages, this black and white graphic carpet fits into most homes in one way shape or form.
Details to Note:
Durable and soil-resistant wool
Easy to vacuum thanks to its flat weave surface
The rug has the same pattern on both sides which allows you to flip it over, offering longevity
A non-slip underlay is recommended

In the guest room of our Country House project we layered the Stockholm carpet with a faux hide carpet. A perfect pairing!
At $199.00 CDN for a 5 ' 7 "x7 ' 10 " and $299.00 CDN for a 8 ' 2 "x 11 ' 6 ", this is great value. Layered, or on it’s own, this area carpet offers bold and graphic impact with a level of neutrality. Mix it with other neutrals or even colour. Either way, you’ll be making a statement without breaking the bank.
Because wool has a natural oil, dirt remains on top of the surface and does not penetrate into the material, making it an ideal area carpet in almost any room of the house. So what are you waiting for??
