A well-designed room doesn’t start with wall art or an accent chair—it starts from the ground up. The floor is the foundation, and the rug you choose sets the mood. In the latest collaboration between design icon Lauren Liess and Fabulive, that mood is earthy, textural, and deeply intentional. These new arrivals are not just seasonal décor—they're poetic compositions drawn from nature, nostalgia, and lived-in beauty.

In this first installment of our four-part series, we focus on the nature-inspired artistry of the Lauren Liess x Fabulive collection. This chapter dives into the philosophy behind the designs, explores the signature motifs in the newest arrivals, and examines how rugs rooted in organic textures and vintage elegance can shape every corner of your home.

Inspired by the Land, Designed for the Home

Lauren Liess has always believed in blurring the line between indoors and out. Her designs evoke quiet forests, sunlit meadows, and the raw imperfections of handmade craftsmanship. This newest collection, crafted in collaboration with it, draws inspiration from that same philosophy—translating natural landscapes into grounded interior pieces.

Take, for example, the Sequoia Textured Indoor/Outdoor Rug. With its earth-toned striations and subtle woven pattern, it feels like walking across a sun-warmed stone path. Or the Myrtle Washable Vintage Rug, whose faded floral motifs are reminiscent of heritage tapestries softened by time.

These aren’t just rugs—they’re tactile reminders of nature’s soothing presence.

A Vintage Soul, Modern Sensibility

What sets Lauren’s collection apart is its seamless blend of old-world charm with 21st-century utility. The designs channel the romance of Persian medallions, Turkish kilims, and antique French botanicals—but reimagined in a format that fits into everyday living.

Patterns like the Lennox Medallion and Wild Orchid pay homage to traditional rug-making without feeling stuck in the past. Their colors—moss, rust, dusty rose, and inky slate—feel freshly plucked from the natural world. These are rugs that live in harmony with your heirlooms, your flea market finds, and your sleek new sofa.

And in true form, many of these vintage-look rugs are completely machine washable, proving that high style doesn’t have to mean high maintenance.

The Grounded Power of Texture

Texture plays a pivotal role in this collection. Whether you’re layering a flatwoven jute rug with a plush geometric design or anchoring your dining room with a subtly ribbed pattern, the feel underfoot matters just as much as the look.

Lauren’s designs are deeply textural—intentionally so. The Dogwood Tiled Jute Rug, for instance, features interlocking diamond patterns that echo basketry and forest trails. The Helga Jute Rug, with its unrefined yet rhythmic weave, feels handmade in all the right ways. These pieces don’t just sit in a room; they breathe life into it.

Pair these jute foundations with a washable rug like the Marigold Tasseled Rug for instant depth and visual warmth. The result? A design statement that feels organic and elegant at once.

In a world overrun with synthetic trends and algorithm-driven aesthetics, nature remains our truest designer. The Lauren Liess x our ug collection is a return to that origin—a reminder that beauty doesn’t need embellishment. It needs authenticity. Each rug in this collection speaks not just to a style, but to a state of mind. They ground us—literally and emotionally. They catch our bare feet in the morning and cradle our kids as they crawl across the living room. They silence the clatter of daily chaos and offer soft landings for weary evenings. And in a digital era of noise, these rugs whisper of soil, softness, memory, and light. Choosing one is not merely an aesthetic act. It’s a grounding one. It's about reclaiming space—not just in your home, but in your spirit. And that, perhaps, is the most modern thing of all. So whether you're searching for a vintage rug that feels storied or a natural jute piece that channels simplicity,o ur collection invites you to decorate from the ground up—with intention, warmth, and wild-hearted grace.

Real-Life Ready: Beautiful, Washable, Effortless

Lauren Liess’s designs reflect the life she lives: one filled with muddy boots, spontaneous family dinners, and dogs napping in sunbeams. Her rugs are created with the same ethos. They're beautiful, but they’re also made for real life.

The washable construction means no more tiptoeing around spills or relegating beautiful rugs to “off-limits” spaces. These rugs are crafted as a single, integrated layer—no fussy underlayment or detachable padding. Just throw it in the wash, lay it flat to dry, and get back to living.

Styles like the Bayberry Vintage Washable Rug in rust or dark gray manage to look like storied antiques while delivering the convenience of modern cleaning. And that’s the magic—these rugs don’t ask you to choose between form and function. They offer both effortlessly.

From Room to Room — A Cohesive Flow

Designing a home that flows naturally from space to space is no small feat. But Lauren’s collection makes it feel simple. Her rugs are intentionally designed to complement one another, so you can layer, mix, and match without worrying about visual dissonance.

Try the Helga Jute Rug as a base in the dining area and layer the Wild Orchid in the adjacent living room. Or place the Sequoia rug outdoors on your patio and echo its earthy palette inside with the Myrtle vintage rug. The goal? A home that feels connected—one step at a time.

And because the colorways across the collection are grounded in nature, you’ll find that everything harmonizes, no matter your layout.

Styling Tips from the Ground Up

Want to bring that Lauren Liess magic to your own home? Here are a few pro styling tips that can help you recreate her layered, soulful aesthetic:

• Layer for Depth: Start with a jute or flatweave base layer, then add a washable rug on top for softness and pattern.
  
  

• Use Texture as Color: In neutral spaces, rely on nubby, woven textures to create movement instead of bold colors.
  
  

• Play with Botanical Motifs: Use rugs with subtle floral or vine-like patterns to bring the outdoors in.
  
  

• Repeat Patterns Softly: Choose pillow covers, wall art, or curtains that echo the rug’s design to create cohesion.
  
  

• Think in Zones: Rugs can help divide open-concept spaces into functional areas—reading nook, play zone, dining space—without using walls.
  
  

A Collection Rooted in Emotion

Ultimately, what makes this collaboration sing is the emotion woven into each piece. These rugs feel lived-in from the moment you roll them out. They don’t demand attention—they invite it. And that’s precisely the ethos of Lauren and the champion: creating homes that feel calm, intentional, and above all, human.

Whether you’re refreshing a room for spring, anchoring a new build with timeless charm, or simply craving a softer, more grounded living space, the Lauren Liess x our collection offers pieces that will meet you where you are—and grow with you.

Grounded in Pattern — Vintage Motifs and Storytelling Through Design

Some rugs merely decorate. Others tell a story.

With the Lauren Liess x our collection, vintage patterning is more than a design choice—it’s a narrative thread. These rugs don’t just lie beneath our feet; they lie at the heart of our spaces. From soft medallions to weathered floral flourishes, every detail in this collection evokes the timeworn charm of heirlooms while embracing the modern needs of real, dynamic living.

In this chapter of our four-part series, we journey into the vintage soul of these designs, uncovering how motifs rooted in centuries-old traditions are reimagined for today’s spaces. We’ll explore how Lauren’s vision of grounded living translates through antique-inspired patterns, muted colorways, and a design ethos that values soul over show.

The Allure of the Antique: Why Vintage Patterns Still Matter

Vintage design has staying power because it doesn’t chase relevance—it radiates it. A vintage-style rug speaks of places we’ve never been but somehow feel connected to. It whispers of old world stories, hands that wove, and generations that walked across the very same motifs in centuries past.

Lauren Liess’s rug designs for the  tap into this sense of timelessness. Her use of aged medallions, botanical borders, and gentle color washes mirrors the aesthetic of rugs that have passed through many hands and many lives. But unlike antique rugs, these pieces are crafted with performance, washability, and everyday durability in mind.

This is vintage design, not as a museum piece, but as a soulful staple in the modern home.

Signature Patterns That Define the Collection

Let’s take a closer look at some of the most beloved motifs within the collection—and what they communicate emotionally and visually:

1. The Medallion Moment: Centered, Balanced, Grounded

Medallion rugs are often the focal point in a room, and with good reason. The central motif draws the eye inward, providing symmetry, stability, and visual calm. In Lauren’s take, medallions are softened with patina, muted with tonal fades, and often surrounded by delicate floral tracery.

The Lennox Medallion Rug, with its softly eroded center and tassel edges, becomes a statement of grace. Whether layered under a dining table or placed beneath a bed, it anchors without overwhelming. These rugs are perfect for rooms that need a touch of elegance without formality—an inviting center, not a showy crown.

2. Floral Reverie: Blooms That Don’t Wilt

Floral motifs in Lauren’s designs are inspired by the untamed wild—ferns on the forest floor, blossoms nodding on country roads, vines climbing up forgotten fences. Her rugs celebrate this organic chaos with understated refinement.

The Myrtle Washable Rug is a prime example, featuring a faded floral arrangement that feels both lived-in and luminous. These are not decorative flowers; they are interpretive brushstrokes of nature’s memory—an homage to the old garden journals and painted linens of bygone years.

3. Geometric Grace: Symmetry Meets Earthiness

Though Lauren’s aesthetic leans natural and nostalgic, there is structure in her softness. Rugs like the Dogwood Tiled Jute Rug use geometric patterning to provide balance and rhythm. These repeating motifs speak to the architectural side of nature—the symmetry of petals, the tessellation of leaves, the grid of tilled fields.

Perfect for boho-modern homes or minimalist interiors craving texture, these designs feel elemental without being stark.

4. Distressed to Impress: Aged Beauty with Modern Strength

The intentional fading and “timeworn” look of many rugs in this collection isn’t about style alone—it’s about story. Distressed rugs suggest history, depth, and a touch of imperfection. They resist the sterility of “brand new” and instead lean into the charm of lived-in.

The  Bayberry Washable Rug in rust, for instance, pairs a classic overdyed palette with a deliberately worn aesthetic. The effect? A rug that feels like it’s already part of your family narrative—even on day one.

Deep-Thought Segment: Why Pattern is More Than Ornament

In a surface-first culture, it’s easy to dismiss a pattern as mere decoration. But in truth, patterns have always been one of the most meaningful forms of human expression. Across civilizations, they’ve encoded ritual, family lineage, geography, and belief. From the tribal diamonds of North Africa to the lotus motifs of Persian prayer rugs, each shape holds meaning. Even the weathered motifs in Lauren Liess x our rugs—those that appear faded or fragmented—carry this layered resonance.

They are not sterile reproductions. They are poetic interpretations. The medallion isn’t just a circle—it’s a visual metaphor for the hearth, the heart, the axis around which home turns. The floral borders aren’t just pretty—they mirror the containment of a garden, a curated space of softness. The deliberate distressing isn’t about trend—it’s about memory, gentleness, and emotional continuity.

In our visually saturated digital lives, these kinds of tactile symbols matter more than ever. They ground us in the physical, the historic, the handmade. When you decorate with a pattern, especially from a collection like this, you’re not choosing a print. You’re choosing a point of view. A reverence for beauty that transcends time.

Designing with Pattern: Practical Tips for a Balanced Room

While a pattern can be deeply emotive, it also needs to function well within a space. Here’s how to use these richly designed rugs without overwhelming your room:

• Balance Busy with Calm: If your rug has a detailed pattern, opt for solid-colored upholstery and minimal wall art. Let the rug be the room’s visual conversation starter.
  
  

• Echo, Don’t Repeat: Choose accessories—like pillows or curtains—that subtly echo shapes or colors from the rug, rather than matching them directly.
  
  

• Layer Lightly: Place a patterned rug over a neutral jute or sisal base to soften the pattern and add tactile interest.
  
  

• Choose a Focal Point: In rooms with multiple patterned pieces, decide which one leads. If it’s the rug, let other elements support it.
  
  

• Use Pattern to Zone: In open floor plans, a patterned rug can help delineate space, creating a cozy reading area, a defined entryway, or a conversation zone.
  
  

Vintage Rug, Modern Life: Durability Without Compromise

What makes this collection especially powerful is its pairing of visual tradition with modern technology. These are not fragile antiques. They’re machine-washable, stain-resistant, and built for homes with pets, children, and real-life messes.

The Wild Orchid Rug, for example, features a classic Persian motif—but it’s crafted from performance fibers that resist spills and simplify care. You get the best of both worlds: the romance of yesteryear and the convenience of now.

And thanks to the  one-piece washable design, these rugs are easy to throw in the washer and lay flat to dry—no fuss, no expensive dry cleaning, no fear of stains ruining the story.

Pattern Across Spaces: How to Style Vintage Rugs Room by Room

Looking for inspiration on where to place these beautiful patterned pieces? Here’s a room-by-room breakdown:

Living Room:

Use a Lennox Medallion Rug in the center of the room under your coffee table to anchor the space. Balance the pattern with linen or leather furniture.

Bedroom:

Try the Myrtle Floral Rug partially tucked under your bed, letting the border bloom outward into the room.

Entryway:

Create instant impact with a small Bayberry Rug runner. It offers a warm welcome and hides dirt beautifully.

Dining Room:

Pair a Wild Orchid Rug with a farmhouse or modern wood table. The intricate pattern hides crumbs and adds old-world charm.

Home Office:

Lay down a Dogwood Geometric Rug to add warmth and make your workspace feel personal and curated.

Woven Foundations — Rug Sizes, Layering, and Placement Tips for Seamless Styling

If the Lauren Liess x  rug collection has taught us anything, it’s this: beauty is not just about what we see—it’s also about what we feel beneath our feet. From botanical motifs to vintage-inspired medallions, the first two parts of our series explored how these rugs bring meaning, pattern, and history into the home. Now, we turn our focus to something equally critical: how to place, layer, and size your rugs with intention.

Rug styling is more than just rolling something out and calling it complete. It’s about understanding the flow of space, the scale of your furniture, and how subtle placement choices affect how a room feels. With the textural and tonal richness of the Lauren Liess x the line, these foundations become even more important.

Let’s walk through the keys to perfecting your rug’s role in the room.

Why Rug Placement is a Form of Design Language

Before diving into measurements, let’s pause on a larger idea: rug placement is narrative. It tells a story about how you live and what matters in your home. A rug that extends beyond a dining table says, “We gather here.” A cozy layered rug beneath a reading chair says, “Pause and stay a while.”

When you select a rug from the Lauren Liess x our collection, you’re not just choosing art for the floor—you’re setting the emotional tone of a space. Placement is how you translate that tone into real life. And when done right, it creates balance, harmony, and intention.

How to Choose the Right Rug Size for Each Room

Rug sizing isn’t just about filling space—it’s about anchoring the elements around it. Let’s break it down room by room with common dimensions and expert guidance.

Living Room

• Standard Sizes: 6’x9’, 8’x10’, or 9’x12’
  
  

• Guidelines: Choose a rug that allows the front legs of your sofa and chairs to rest on it. This grounds the furniture arrangement and pulls the room together visually.
  
  

• Tip: In open-concept spaces, use rugs to define zones. Place a Lennox Medallion Rug under the central seating arrangement, while a jute base rug in an adjacent corner can frame a reading nook or record station.
  
  

Dining Room

• Standard Sizes: 8’x10’ or 9’x12’
  
  

• Guidelines: Your rug should be large enough to accommodate the dining table and chairs, even when chairs are pulled out.
  
  

• Tip: Avoid patterns that are too intricate near the edges—opt for subtle borders like those on the Wild Orchid Rug, which maintain visual elegance even under table legs.
  
  

Bedroom

• Queen Bed: 8’x10’
  
  

• King Bed: 9 ’ x12’
  
  

• Guidelines: Ideally, the rug should extend 18–24 inches past the sides and foot of the bed. You can also use runners on either side of the bed for a modern, segmented look.
  
  

• Tip: Try a washed floral rug like the Myrtle beneath a wood or linen headboard—it softens the structure and adds a timeless, romantic undertone.
  
  

Entryway

• Standard Sizes: 2’x3’, 2.5’x8’, 3’x5’
  
  

• Guidelines: Choose a rug that allows the door to open freely and fits the width of your hallway or foyer.
  
  

• Tip: Distressed styles like the Bayberry Rug are perfect for hiding dirt while welcoming guests with nostalgic warmth.

Layering Rugs Like a Designer

Layering adds dimension, richness, and softness—especially when you're working with a mix of patterns, weaves, and materials. The Lauren Liess x our collection is curated to allow seamless layering across styles. Here’s how to get it right.

Layer 1: Start with Texture

Use a neutral jute or sisal rug as your base. Rugs like the Helga Jute Rug provide visual grounding and tactile structure. They're ideal for anchoring furniture and offering durability in high-traffic areas.

Layer 2: Add Personality and Pattern

Top your base with a washable rug from the collection that introduces color, movement, or motif. The Jessamine Geometric Rug or the Arigold Tasseled Rug are great options here.

Pro Tips:

• Allow 4–6 inches of the bottom rug to show on all sides.
  
  

• Use contrasting textures (flatweave under plush, jute under cotton) for visual interest.
  
  

• Avoid stacking rugs of the same height, which can feel bulky and shift underfoot.
  
  

Layered Looks We Love

• Modern Earthy: Helga Jute base + Wild Orchid in olive
  
  

• Soft Bohemian: Dogwood Tiled Jute + faded Bayberry in rust
  
  

• Vintage Farmhouse: Neutral wool base + Lennox Medallion layered at a slight angle for rustic charm
  
  

Deep-Thought Segment: The Art of Grounding a Room

There’s something deeply human about the act of laying down a rug. It says, “This space matters.” It claims territory—not in a possessive way, but in a nurturing one. It softens the hard lines of architecture, absorbs sound, and creates a kind of sanctuary beneath our movements.

In Lauren Liess’s world, grounding is both physical and emotional. Her rugs are not flashy. They do not shout. They whisper comfort. They hum stability. In a world spinning with noise and novelty, they offer continuity. And isn’t that what home should be?

When you choose a rug from  Lauren Liess' collection, you’re not just picking something pretty. You’re choosing a floor plan for your memories. A backdrop for bedtime stories, spilled cereal, morning yoga, and slow Sunday coffee. You’re grounding the chaos. And in doing so, you’re honoring a new rhythm—one that starts from the ground up.

Placement Tips for a Cohesive, Professional Look

Here are some room-enhancing tips to guide you through rug layout:

Centering the Rug

Whether under a coffee table or a dining set, always center the rug relative to the space or focal point. This helps guide the eye and avoids awkward negative space.

Aligning with Furniture

If placing under a bed, ensure the rug is aligned with the headboard. In living areas, the rug should create a balanced frame around seating.

Visual Continuity Between Rooms

Repeat color tones or patterns between adjacent rugs in open-concept homes. The Wild Orchid Rug in the living room can transition into the Sequoia in the hallway, creating visual rhythm.

Mixing Shapes: Going Beyond the Rectangle

While rectangular rugs are most common, Lauren’s collection also supports experimentation with round, oval, and runner formats. Here's how to mix it up:

• Round Rugs: Great for nurseries, reading nooks, or under pendant lights. Try the Marigold in a circular shape layered on a rectangular jute.
  
  

• Runners: Ideal for long hallways, kitchens, or the sides of a bed.
  
  

• Asymmetry: Offset rugs can create visual energy, especially in eclectic or rustic homes.

How Rug Size Affects Room Perception

• Larger Rugs make small rooms feel bigger by drawing the eye outward.
  
  

• Smaller Rugs can break up larger spaces into intimate zones.
  
  

• Undersized Rugs often feel like afterthoughts—opt for a size that connects the room’s elements.
  
  

Pro Hack: Use painter’s tape to outline different rug sizes on your floor before purchasing. This helps you visualize scale, walking clearance, and furniture alignment.

Safety & Practical Considerations

• Use a Rug Pad: Especially important with layering. Rug pads add cushioning, prevent slips, and prolong the life of your rug.
  
  

• Watch for Door Clearance: Measure the swing of doors—entry rugs shouldn’t bunch or block movement.
  
  

• Choose Washable When Needed: For households with kids, pets, or active lifestyles, washable rugs like those in this collection are lifesavers.
  
  

 Rugs That Support Real Life

At its core, the Lauren Liess x our collection is about making real life more beautiful. These rugs don’t just elevate a room—they adapt to it. They welcome you barefoot. They forgive your mess. They frame your memories.

In choosing the right size, placement, and layering, you’re not just decorating. You’re shaping how your home feels, functions, and flows. And that’s the heart of good design—not just aesthetics, but alignment. Not just style, but soul.

Layered With Love — Styling, Color, and Storytelling Tips to Complete Your Space

Your home tells a story. And in that story, the rug is never just background—it’s the quiet narrator beneath it all.

Throughout the Lauren Liess x our collection, we’ve seen how nature-inspired design, vintage motifs, and purposeful placement create soulful foundations. But now we step into the most creative chapter: styling. This is where vision becomes voice, where palette meets personality, and where rugs don’t just serve the room—they shape it.

In this final installment, we explore how to style your Lauren Liess x our rug with color confidence, emotional clarity, and timeless cohesion. From seasonal refreshes to tone-on-tone layering and curated narratives, this is your guide to completing your space with beauty that lives and breathes.

Rug Styling as a Form of Storytelling

Styling isn’t about perfection—it’s about resonance. When you place a rug in your home, you’re making a visual and emotional statement: this space has soul. This space is lived in, loved in, and thoughtfully composed.

Lauren Liess is known for her emotionally intelligent interiors—rooms that feel collected, not curated. Her rugs embody that same ethos. They are the foundation for stories both grand and everyday. The gentle wear of a vintage medallion, the hushed hues of weathered botanicals, the quiet geometry of nature—all of it becomes a part of your narrative.

So, how do you style a rug not just with aesthetic appeal but with authenticity? You begin by listening—to the rug, to the room, to yourself.

Let the Rug Lead (or Support)

A well-chosen rug can be the protagonist of your space or a background muse. Let its voice guide the rest of the room.

When the Rug Is the Star

Choose neutral furnishings—light oak, white upholstery, matte ceramics—and let your rug shine with rich motifs or moody tones.

Try This: Pair the Bayberry Vintage Washable Rug in rust with pale linen sofas, brass lighting, and clean-lined woodwork for a contrast that speaks volumes.

When the Rug Supports the Space

If you already have a vibrant gallery wall, statement sofa, or bold light fixture, go for a subtler rug.

Try This: Layer the Helga Jute Rug with a tonal cotton rug in ivory or soft clay. Let texture take precedence over pattern for quiet elegance.

Curating Color Stories

Color is memory. Color is mood. When styling with Lauren’s rugs, lean into hues that evoke feeling—not just trend.

Color Palettes We Love:

• Earthy & Warm: Rust, goldenrod, olive, clay
  (Pairs with: Bayberry, Wild Orchid, Dogwood Jute)
  Use terracotta planters, amber glass, and woven baskets.
  
  

• Soft & Serene: Mist, dove gray, sand, pale blue
  (Pairs with: Lennox Medallion, Sequoia, Marigold)
  Add linen drapes, wool throws, and ceramic table lamps.
  
  

• Natural & Neutral: Straw, bone, flax, stone
  (Pairs with: Helga, Dogwood, Myrtle)
  Embrace light wood, whitewashed finishes, and paper textures.
  
  

• Playful & Muted: Dusty rose, moss green, muted teal
  (Pairs with: Jessamine, Wild Orchid in Sage)
  Try painted accents, vintage books, and artisan pottery.

Styling for Seasons Without Full Redesigns

Rugs make seasonal styling effortless. With just a few accent changes, you can shift the mood of the entire space while keeping your rug as the grounded anchor.

Spring

Layer with sheer curtains, fresh eucalyptus, pale ceramics. Add a linen table runner or pastel pillows.

Summer

Keep it breezy—strip back layers, roll out flatweaves like the Sequoia Rug, add jute baskets and leafy greens.

Autumn

Embrace cozy: wool throws, copper accents, dried florals. The rust-hued Bayberry Rug thrives here.

Winter

Add plush textures—shag blankets, velvet cushions, low lighting. Layer a soft rug like the Marigold atop a jute base for warmth.

Deep-Thought Segment: Designing for Emotion, Not Algorithm

In the age of social media aesthetics, it’s easy to design for likes. But the best rooms aren’t made for strangers on a screen—they’re made for the people who live there. Styling your rug with love means designing from the inside out.

Ask yourself:

• What feeling do I want when I walk into this room?
  
  

• What memory do I want to create on this rug?
  
  

• What colors make me exhale instead of scroll?
  
  

A room is never truly “finished.” It evolves. And when you start with a rug that’s rooted in history, handcrafted soul, and natural ease—like those in the Lauren Liess x our collection—you’re giving yourself the flexibility to grow alongside your home. These rugs are not dictated by fads. They are led by feeling. And in that, they become sacred ground—quietly supporting, gently anchoring, always listening.

Rugs That Travel with You

What makes Lauren’s rugs special isn’t just their washability or durability—it’s that they grow with you. Whether you're styling a nursery, a first apartment, or a forever home, these rugs offer timeless flexibility.

Examples:

• The Lennox Medallion Rug may begin in a romantic bedroom, then transition to a guest room or entry.
  
  

• The Helga Jute Rug might first anchor a dining table, then become a layered base in a sunroom.
  
  

• The Wild Orchid Rug can live in a nursery for years and still feel right at home in a teen’s bedroom later on.
  
  

The versatility of the collection lies in its emotional neutrality—it enhances, not dominates. It supports the evolution of your life.

Styling with Story in Mind

Every styled corner of your home tells a chapter. Here are a few intentional vignettes to try:

The Reading Corner

Layer a soft patterned rug with a sheepskin, a linen-upholstered chair, and a floor lamp. Add a woven basket for books and a warm mug. The Jessamine Rug offers the perfect literary backdrop.

The Restful Entry

A small vintage-inspired runner, a matte black bench, dried florals in a vase, and a mirror above. Use the Bayberry Runner to welcome guests (and yourself) with calm energy.

The Family Gathering Zone

Layer two rugs—a jute base with a tonal patterned washable rug—beneath a deep sofa and low table. Add neutral cushions and a board game basket. The Wild Orchid + Helga combo sings here.

Bringing it All Together: Finishing Touches That Elevate

Use these styling ideas to complement your rug:

• Curtains: Choose natural fabrics like flax, linen, or organic cotton in a tone that echoes your rug.
  
  

• Lighting: Layer task lights with warm ambient lighting. Ceramic bases or rattan shades tie beautifully with jute rugs.
  
  

• Wall Art: Abstract landscapes, vintage sketches, or pressed botanicals pair well with floral and medallion rugs.
  
  

• Greenery: Use plants to bring your rug’s palette to life—olive trees, pothos, and ferns echo the collection’s natural roots.
  
  

The Home as a Living Canvas

One of Lauren Liess’s greatest gifts is seeing home not as a showroom—but as a living, breathing expression of self. Her rugs in collaboration with the  are tools for you to bring that philosophy to life. They don’t require pristine surroundings or designer furniture. They ask only for presence. For care. For real moments—quiet or messy.

As you complete your space, remember that the rug you choose becomes the visual and emotional soil from which everything else grows. Choose one that makes you feel grounded. One that adds peace, poetry, or a gentle kind of nostalgia. One that can handle life—and help you enjoy it more deeply.

Design doesn’t end when the rug is placed. In truth, that’s where it begins.

In a world obsessed with what’s next, Lauren Liess and Fabulive invite you to embrace what’s now—what’s rooted. Their collection isn’t about making bold statements. It’s about making soft landings. About filling your home not with clutter, but with care.

So, whether you’re layering jute beneath faded florals, centering a medallion beneath your bed, or letting a runner stretch down your hallway like a quiet path, remember this: the most powerful interiors aren’t always the loudest. They’re the ones that feel like home.

Closing Reflection: When Your Rug Becomes a Legacy

There’s a reason vintage-style rugs endure. They whisper of stories told by firelight, of handwritten letters, of handwoven baskets, and passing seasons. They are the textiles of memory.

When you choose a Lauren Liess x Fabulive rug, you’re not simply choosing decor. You’re choosing continuity. A sense of rootedness. A design that will grow with you and adapt as your home evolves.

And that’s the quiet magic of these vintage patterns—they don’t impose. They belong. From the smallest studio to the grandest estate, they make a home feel personal, purposeful, and filled with story.
