Channelling grand architecture and café culture, the Vienna rug (from $509)by Montreal's NCA Design and loomed in Turkeybrings together far-flung parts of the globe with old-school richness and modern-day understatement, as if in some exotic salon with a Klimt on the wall. gingerjarfurniture.com
A collaboration between Pacific Rug Gallery and renowned Iranian-American fashion and jewellery designer Nima Behnoud, the handmade wool-and-silk Twin Passion rug ($2,500) evokes the flourish of Persian calligraphy. pacificruggallery.com
The hand-tufted Ply rug by Spanish studio MUT Design for GAN (from $2,955) is inspired by the grainy layers and patterns of humble plywood. And, like with any piece of wood, the gradations are organic and expansive, capturing wonder and movement underfoot. livingspace.com

An all-natural sheep's wool broadloom, the Hicks Bay is part of the new Compass Collection from Burritt Bros. (price upon request).

DESIGNER PICK: Savannah carpet by Armadillo & Co., heminteriors.com
One of my favourite things to warm up a space is to bring in extra-large area rugs on hardwood flooring. The new rug line that I am coveting right now is called Armadillo & Co. This company also donates with each rug purchase to help its own foundation in improving the lives of underprivileged communities around the globe.
