Q: What drew you to partner with Rugs USA?
A: I’m a big believer that big style doesn’t always have to come with a big price tag. I love that Rugs USA has such an incredible and stylish selection of quality rugs at amazing prices!
Q: How would you describe your personal design aesthetic? How is that reflected in the styles you chose for your capsule collection?
A: My style is curated classic with a twist, featuring style staples that are accented with beautiful vintage and found objects to make it feel personal and special. My capsule collection with Rugs USA is the perfect mix of classic, mix-anywhere styles with that little twist I love—a slight pattern here, a beautiful texture there, all curated to anchor your space and make it feel like you.
Q: What do you look for in a good washable rug?
A: A great washable rug has to do two things: deliver big style and be easy to care for! My capsule collection highlights the best of both, offering rugs to fit any style and space with the comfort and ease of a great washable rug.
Q: What is your experience with other washable rugs, and why do you recommend the Rugs USA washables?
A: Not all washable rugs are created equally—trust me, I’ve tried them all! Often, I find washable rugs that are difficult to place and lacking the smooth, luxe look I crave in a rug. The washable rugs from Rugs USA look picture-perfect at first placement—no tricky roll-out, no bending corners, but all the style we crave from a traditional rug.
Q: What are your top three favorite rugs in this capsule collection, and why?
A: The Amelina Easy-Jute Washable Southwestern Rug is a must-have. As a major jute fan, I don’t always want to deal with the care of a traditional jute, so I love that this rug not only gives me that elevated look, but also features a stunning yet simple pattern that anchors my bedroom. The Reema Easy-Jute Washable Pyramids Rug is another favorite of mine and is a great example of my personal style—classic with a fun twist! The cheeky diamond pattern adds just the right touch of interest while acting as the perfect neutral for my living room entry hall. The Ruthanna Washable Medallion Rug and the Jessie Medallion Washable Rug round off my top picks as classic vintage-inspired patterns are a must-have in any space! Perfect for layering or on their own, these rugs add that luxe and lived-in feel to any home.
Q: If you could give someone only one piece of advice for styling rugs, what would it be?
A: Your home should represent you and your family! Don’t be afraid to express yourself with a pop of pattern or color to ground a space. Another one of my favorite hacks is to layer rugs for that elevated yet comfortable look. Ground the space with a larger style and have fun with layering a smaller style like the Zahara Faux Cowhide Washable Rug on an angle to add some visual interest.
Q: What’s a fun fact about you?!
A: I grew up on a small farm in Pennsylvania with three horses before moving to the big city!
