I'm so excited to announce the release of a brand new rug design, the Cumulus Cloud Rug. This new design is made with a new handmade construction, Tibetan hand-knotted weave, which makes this rug super soft and dense with a lower pile than my tufted maze collection. This serene cloud pattern features a subtle variation in color with layers of fluffy clouds, and is available in four classic colorways: blue, green, tan, and gray. Find more cloud-inspired home decor ideas below.

I like to say that this new wool rug design is like bringing a slice of blue sky into your home! I love how cloud-inspired decor can add a sense of serenity to a room, and the tone-on-tone colorscape of this luxury rug pairs well with any aesthetic – but especially so with the popular cloud sofa...

My 'Clouds in Blue Sky I" art print is such a great way to add a window to your wall - and it captures the deep blue of a summer sky in the Highlands mountains of North Carolina.
