Ben Soleimani has turned his family's four-genertation rug dynasty into a worldwide empire — and now his genre-defying designs are available through Restoration Hardware. The collections consist of one stunning rug after another. A few of my favorites are shown here: Satta, Hanna, and Miya.

You know what does it for me? The impression of age and handcrafting by way of irregular patterns and muted colors. Brilliant! I can't imagine living with a yellow rug, but I can't imagine not living with one now that I've seen Hanna.
