Grounded in Nature: The Rugs That Shape the Space
There is a quiet magic that happens when a home is shaped by nature. In this tranquil holiday retreat, Coral + Hive rugs bring calm, story, and an easy sense of barefoot luxury to every room. Each piece is thoughtfully designed, inspired by the surrounding environment, the natural colours of the landscape, and, most importantly, the way our clients live and move through their home.
Open City Architects designed a home that feels grounded in the earth, yet beautifully contemporary. Warmth, softness, and gentle texture flow throughout the space, with each rug adding soul and inviting a deeper sense of connection.
Ankara Gold Rug

MANNA RUG
A custom Manna rug introduces a contemporary yet relaxed softness to this family living room. The mohair tones were carefully dyed to complement the Scandi-style interior, with ocean blues and handspun mohair textures adding a thoughtful, artful touch to the space.
C+H is literally the epitome of barefoot luxury. You want to be barefoot all day, enjoying the natural textures and softness of their rugs. Each rug is a piece of art, reflecting the beauty of nature and the team’s passion for creativity and sustainable craftsmanship. Collaborating with C+H was a true delight and their rugs have soulfully turned our house into a home.
