As someone who designs rugs to be lived on—not tiptoed around—I’m always thinking about resilience, comfort and the subtle art of styling a space that feels both refined and functional.
When you’re hosting an Airbnb, whether it’s a chic city loft or a relaxed coastal escape, these qualities matter more than ever.
There’s one design element that often gets overlooked: the rug.
It’s the foundation of a room, the first touch underfoot, and one of the simplest ways to anchor furniture, soften hard edges and create a sense of effortless flow. The right rug doesn’t just decorate a space—it defines it.
1. Strength Meets Style
Guests aren’t always gentle. Suitcases scrape, wine gets spilled and sand sneaks in.
That’s why we design rugs that can handle daily life gracefully resistant to wear, yet beautifully textured so they never feel “utilitarian.”
Each piece is handwoven to capture the nuanced look of natural fibres, with the strength to withstand constant movement and use.
2. Stress-Free Living
For hosts, ease of care is everything. A spilled drink, muddy pawprints, or sandy footprints shouldn’t ruin a room. These rugs are crafted to resist stains and moisture, meaning most messes can be cleaned with a quick blot or rinse. No expensive professional cleaning. No stress. Just peace of mind.
3. Family & Pet Friendly
If your Airbnb welcomes families or pets, you’ll love how these rugs perform. They’re hypoallergenic, non-shedding and resistant to mould and mildew—no fur, no fluff, no musty odours after a rainy week.
Just a dependable rug that quietly supports the flow of daily life while still feeling elevated.
4. Indoors to Outdoors, Seamlessly
One of my favourite design principles is creating harmony between indoor comfort and outdoor living. Whether placed in a living room, hallway, terrace, or under a dining setting, these rugs carry the same level of refinement across all spaces.
UV-stable and weather resistant, they’re as at home on a sunlit deck as they are in a sophisticated lounge.
What I Tell Every Airbnb Host
If you’re styling a property, you want it to feel inviting and refined but not overly precious. You need design choices that work hard, yet still deliver that calm, curated aesthetic guests will remember long after they’ve checked out.
That’s why I design rugs that balance durability with elegance:
- Easy to clean and low maintenance
- Resistant to stains, moisture and fading
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor living
- Soft underfoot with a handwoven finish
They’re quiet achievers—the kind of pieces that ground a space, elevate its atmosphere, and let everything else shine.
