Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

Love that rug! It’s gorgeous!
I’ve been seeing a lot of layered rugs, lately. One of my favorite looks has been the natural sisal/jute rug layered with a softer rug. Have you considered getting a larger 8×10 natural fiber rug and putting it under it? I know the recommended “perfect” rug size is 6 inches remaining on all sides of the rug between the baseboards, so the 8×10 would fit the bill. And hey, don’t you have a natural fiber 8x10in the living room right now? If you steal that one, then you will HAVE to pull the plug on a new living room rug. It’s a win-win!

Oh Tiffany! You’ve read my mind. I think that might be a perfect solution. :)
Trying turning the rug the other direction?
This purple merlot is a prettier color in my opinion! That size will also let your future wood floors show which will be beautiful.
The rug looks patchy to me in some areas – like the pile is low or missing? (It looks white in some areas, like you can see the rug backing from the top.) I like more sophisticated nurseries, too, but I’m thinking with the size/possible pile issues it may be better to return and try something else. Not said to be snarky :) Excited to see what you guys do with the nursery! And maybe if you return this one you can get the blue one for your living room?
It’s hand distressed to look vintage. It’s supposed to look like that. ;)
Ah, you are right! Whoops :)
Oh I love the drama it adds! Cant wait to see where this goes :)
What if you put the dresser on the crib wall and the crib on the dresser wall?
I tried that. The crib is about twice as wide as the dresser, so it kind of blocks the entry and doesn’t allow the dresser to be centered on the back wall. I’m gonna keep playing with the arrangement.
I am sure you are going to make it look beautiful, like you do with everything you touch.But right now and through the pictures, it looks kind of… weird to me like not for a little girl’s nursery. I don’t know.
We are going for charming and calming for her and with a touch of sophistication for me (since I’ll be spending a LOT of time in there).
Just a thought…another idea would be putting the rug at an angle to the walls of the room. If nothing else, a way to mix it up sometime. :)
We’ll give it a try! Thanks, Catie.
I got a rainbow rug for my twins nursery…. I loved it so much I would go in there and lay on it before there was anything else in the room :) I think that the size will be good – any bigger might be too big! Once you get the stuff in there you can try it at different angles.
beautiful! i’m sure you put the crib in that spot for a reason, but maybe move it to another wall or float it the other way on top of the rug? i’m sure it will look wonderful once you’ve added more “stuff” and played with the floorplan.
Could you rotate it 90 degrees so it doesn’t lead up directly to the crib?
Worth a try!
We JUST did this with our nursery rug! I didn’t like it running up to the crib, and was ready to send it back, until my husband suggested rotating it 90 degrees. And it was perfect. He’s usually dismissive of my home decor angst but this time he was so observant, and right! Worth a shot!
That is a beautiful rug! I’m decorating a nursery right now too – can’t wait to see how yours turns out!

Sooo gorgeous! I agree, I think it will look bigger when it’s not competing with the cream carpet underneath and when you have the other accessories in the room. What a great steal!!
Fingers crossed!
That blue rug!!!!!!!!! So gorgeous. 5×8 SOUNDS big. But rolled out, up against the crib, it doesn’t look big enough. I think you’re right though, with new flooring, the glider and some other fun accessories, it will look perfect.
I know! Part of me wants to get the blue one for the living room STILL, but a little variety is good. I’ll keep looking.
