In a Berkeley Hills home with incredible warmth and strength in its base elements, Heidi Caillier offsets the dark woodwork with an earthy hue, eschewing traditional white walls for a cozier appeal. But the warm colors, natural elements, and tight patterns and textures needed a little bit of contrast…maybe something blue?

Enter the cotton Dhurrie. This flatwoven find boasts a comfortable and casual presence, one that fits just like that favorite pair of jeans. The stripes of cool dusty blues offsetting the warm colors perfectly with their tiny peach accent stripes – a color combination that is common in this type of rug.

Those blues are carried on in accents throughout the home, allowing the carpet to pull interconnected spaces together like an anchor.

It really is a well composed experience. See the whole house on Heidi Caillier’s website.
