The Prettiest Rug I've Ever Owned Is Also the Softest

"Moving from a studio apartment to a two-bedroom earlier this year was both thrilling and overwhelming. On the one hand, all that new space! On the other, all that new space ... to furnish! Between having to think about things like a desk for the second bedroom (what a luxury) and calculating how much those things would cost, my husband and I lived with blank walls and empty space for a little longer than I expected."

"But one thing we wanted to act on quickly was a rug for our bedroom. The apartment's parquet wood flooring is slippery, and living in an apartment building means you need to be conscious of how much sound your footsteps make for your downstairs neighbors (or, at least, you should be). I've long been a fan of all things Rifle Paper Co., so I immediately checked out their rug patterns to see if something would work for us."

"Lo and behold, we almost immediately fell in love with the look of the Eden Mughal Garden Rug in black, and we ordered it in a 7'6"x9'6" size without feeling it first. Luckily, this leap of faith is one of the best ones we've made together, and we still rave about it six months later. Here's what's so great about it."

"The Eden Mughal Garden Rug rug is basically a Rifle Paper Co. fan's dream. It's designed with the signature dreamy florals, and has a neat border with more florals to add a soft, romantic feel to any room. We chose the black background because it felt nice for a bedroom, but it also comes with a cream background for the exact same pattern. The same fabrication is available in other colors and slightly different patterns, too, including indigo, ivory, and rose blush."

Moving from a studio to a two-bedroom created the need to furnish additional space, delaying some decisions while prioritizing a bedroom rug. Parquet wood flooring was slippery and raised concerns about noise for downstairs neighbors, prompting selection of a rug for sound-dampening and traction. The Eden Mughal Garden Rug features Rifle Paper Co.'s signature floral motifs and a floral border, available in black or cream backgrounds and additional colors such as indigo, ivory, and rose blush. The reviewer ordered a 7'6"x9'6" size without feeling it first and reports satisfaction six months after purchase. The rug uses Loloi's CloudPile microfiber construction.
