Designer Nate Berkus and Rugs USA are excited to announce new collection colorways that reframe Berkus’ original designs. Berkus believes that this proves that classic design only gets better with time. The additions feature warm neutrals, rich textures and subtle patterns.

After years of cool neutrals and pared-back interiors, Revival Rugs said it is seeing consumers gravitate toward homes that feel warmer, softer and more personal.
Demand has shifted noticeably toward rich earth tones and layered neutrals, including terracotta, rust, olive, ochre and muted blush, as shoppers embrace spaces that feel collected rather than overly curated, according to the company.

The Rug Company has unveiled Colour in Residence, a new collection of handmade rugs across two tactile ranges, mohair and silk textures.
Every tone in the new collection starts at The Rug Company’s studio, where tertiary shades are devised to blend warm and cool undertones in careful balance, moving from Olive Green and Clay to Terracotta, Aegean Blue, Silver and Dawn. The fibers are then dyed by hand before each rug is handmade, dried in the sun and finished by hand: trimmed, edges bound and readied by artisans.
“Colour in Residence began as an exploration of the origins of color and how it exists in nature before it ever becomes a pigment,” said Will Cooper, The Rug Company creative director. “We immersed ourselves in natural landscapes, studying their tones and working closely with our mills to translate them through the dyeing process. It was a true collaboration, refining every shade until each one felt discovered rather than designed. The result is a palette built to layer effortlessly with whatever else lives in the room.”
Mineral Mohair is renowned for its natural luster and its ability to drink in color; according to the company. “Mohair is a fiber that begs to be felt underfoot,” it said.
Introduced in a new range of mineral-inspired colorways, each rug is hand-knotted, then left shag for an eclectic edge and a plush, cocooning pile or sheared precisely for a tailored, manicured polish.
There is a particular luxury in silk underfoot, Cooper said. The new Silk Textures is being introduced across two finishes.
Vara pairs handloomed wool and silk in a study of gentle irregularity, its nobbled texture adding grounding warmth to the pile. Caliche unfurls in pure silk for a sleeker, more luminous finish, cool and smooth beneath bare feet. Together they carry the palette from earthy clay to tranquil sage.
“We chose to photograph the campaign in Malta, the birthplace of The Rug Company’s founder, as a tribute to the origins of the company and to the enduring relationship between people, place and nature,” Cooper added. “Every rug follows its own journey, from our studio to the mill, and ultimately into someone’s home. This is where the rug truly comes to life. These are objects made to be lived with, to gather stories, and to become part of the everyday.”

This fall, Chilewich is introducing three new weaves that continue the company’s signature blend of performance and design while bringing fresh texture and dimension to interiors and outdoor spaces.
Inspired by vintage ribbons and trims, the Appliqué collection combines the decorative dimension of ornamental needlework with the endurance and easy care of Chilewich textiles. Multiple weave structures come together to create a lively, tactile surface of ribbon-like stripes in two contemporary color palettes.
Pushing the boundaries of weaving, Tint explores the nature of color through geometric forms and color placement. A palette of only six hues, three as warp yarns and three as weft yarns, is expanded through multiple weave structures into a composition of nuanced colors, balancing the precision of a mosaic with the rhythm of quilting.
